content: Search Ali by the bolt size, that looks about 10mm, if you search aliexpress (for exampl) for 10mm binding post or M10 binding post you will find a few.These look pretty close(no relation or recommendation, just the first result in a search)

content: You can also search by current. Try 100A or 200A binding posts for something in that size range.

content: I am looking for something but I do not know any names. I believe it is a small post used years ago to connect an alligator clip to it. Sorta has a T shape to it, the T at the top. I have spent hours on Aliexpress looking for it. Any ideas? Just the name would help.Anyway this looks like it is about 4 inches longhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/10mm-Bigger-binding-post-terminal-connector/858266759.html

content: Possibly, ez, but I'm always suspicious of listings with no indication of which measurement is 10mm.This one, however, looks like a fair match for what the original poster is asking for:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/M10-Gold-plated-copper-100A-Large-Current-jumbo-Terminals-for-inverter-Voltage-regulator-electric-welding-machine2pcs/32725895508.html
