LOL, the drawing for "10-way 3.5mm Rising Clamp Screw Socket Drawing" shows LEFT HAND THREAD on the screw(s)!
Yes, that's common for "Phoenix style" connectors. You turn the screw to the right to move the clamp down on the wire, and to the left to move the clamp up to remove the wire. This requires a left handed thread -- using a right handed thread in this situation would cause more confusion as you'd have a "righty loosey - lefty tighty" situation.
As a side light on this, there IS such a thing as a "left handed monkey wrench" -- it has a right-handed thread (SURPRISE!) -- a "right handed monkey wrench" has a left-handed thread. The logic is that when you have the wrench in your hand, you use your thumb to tighten the wrench, and you can push harder with your thumb than you can pull with it.
