solar controller connections

I just purchased a small PWM RTD-10A solar controller. I need to build wires & connectors to hook up. Can someone tell me what type of connectors this takes. Small hole with little metal plate inside....

The panel, load and battery connectors appear to be bare wire no connector. Simply loosen screw on face , insert stripped wire onto hole in side and tighten the screw on face. Caution do not over strip the wires. Larger connector on right is a full size USB socket.

I've seen these connectors at Radio Shack. Good luck in finding one that isn't out of business.

On my controller, the terminal screws are not robust, and I stripped one even though I was being very careful.

That is a standard SAE connector. I have purchased them from Powerwerx.
