A bunch of sources have #1-72 flat washers, up to 3/16" diameter.  Stack one of these over the #2 ring terminal to get good clamping contact.

Ring terminal for 1-72 screw?
Posted by kasskaboose on Thursday, September 21, 2023 3:28 PM

Can anyone pls suggest where to purchase ring terminals for 1-72 srews?  They are to connect wires to a screw that's through the Atlas turnout hole to power the frogs and remotely switch the throwbars.  Of course open to other ideas. 

I scoured online and talked to an electronic supply store associate.  The largest I can find is a #2 which, from an earlier discussion here, suffices for a 2-56 screw.
