Try this from TrainWorld.

For cleanliness, you probably want closed screw banana plugs like these: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=9436

I prefer using 1/4" spade lugs for the TIU because the banana plugs are apt to getting knocked out no matter how tight they seem to be in the sockets. 

I bought these at Home Depot to use on the club layout.

I used these from menards and they work great. they fit tight too and dont fall out. they also use screws to hold the wires, no soldering needed. 

Thanks to all - found some at home depot - wish menard's had a store near by 

I've been an A/V enthusiast for decades, and have used a lot of these:

By far the best bananas I've ever used. Not cheap, but they're tight and don't loosen with continued use. If you pull these out accidentally, you're pulling too hard on the wires anyhow

Pomona has been around for decades. I have banana cables over 40 years old still fully functional. Get the ones with molded cables. The insulation is very flexible vinyl and filled with fine conductors.

There are lots of options out there, and you don't have to spend a ton. Just Google banana plugs.
