Author here: there is a screw terminal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_terminal) inside. Thats exactly what is used in every houses in the world also the current is so low that there can't be any issue.

But I didn't know about C13 slitter, that sounds like a good improvement

Theatre tech here, screw terminal blocks are not rated for being in any sort of flexing situation nor are they very good at stranded cable. It would be a better idea to get a cable specifically designed to break out to 3 IEC connectors.

Or at least put the screw terminals into a housing designed for it.
