Here's some search results for "mini push terminal".  ** is my favorite.

The ones that could be good seem to be driven by LED installations:  For LEDs I imagine they use insulating silicone grease
for out in the weather applications.  For your app, they are probably ready to go.

Not a push-in, but for IDC 1p 2p 3p SMT:

I found this that seems better than the zierick IDC connectors since they have 2 pins, insulator shape that guides pushing wires 
in, and a flat spot on top for pick and place.

http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/catalogpages/201112/1122.pdf  The AVX 9176 model is for 10A 14 ga., the 9175 is 1A 26 ga.

Zierick seems to have a version with the plastic guides also:

there may be a high bang per buck China version of that kind too...
