So I used to tin the wires....then I read a claim that it was counterproductive because the solder won't expand/contract with temperature at the same rate as the clamps and it can work itself loose.

IDK, I'm just saying I read that somewhere, doesn't mean it's true fact.

    Not sure what problem you need to solve.

    If you mean the serial connection between devices those are RJ-11
    telephone plugs.

    If you've had wires fall out of the green screw down terminals
    then I'd suggest some strain relief to prevent any weight from
    hanging down on the wire.  One way is add a lacing bar or wire
    duct so you only have a few inches of unsupported wire going into
    the green plug.  There are eleventy billion connectors in the
    Molex catalog so I'm not going to say there is or isn't a crimp-on
    replacement.  I'd suggest if you want that then ask Packetflux
    support what the part number of the plug is and then ask the
    manufacturer if there's something else compatible.
