My Dad wants to resurrect his old M track and locomotives, but the old blue transformer has seen better days so we got a 2nd hand 66470. The manual in the Marklin website seems to show something that you push over the terminals on the back to hold the cable. This 2nd hand one is missing those.

What are they called? And any suggestions on where to get them?

I did some searching but was only finding things that didn't look compatible.
If all else fails then I'll make the connections safe with a few layers of heatshrink tubing, but would much prefer the proper connectors.

This is the link to the manual : 66470 manual at Marklin.de

And just a free minutes after posting, I worked it out with the help of Google translate and a link to a technical tip from another topic
"Press horizontally on the connection clamp, it becomes a metal one from above"
Which means push the socket thing gently towards the ttansformer, the hole opens up to accept the wire.
I guess you just have to be careful not to leave too much tail.
The diagram in the manual could have been clearer!
