Help identifying this odd plug connection!

[mikejlj]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me identify this odd plug / connector.

We bought a second hand dresser and it has a spotlight fitted. The spotlight cable has the connector shown in the pic. That connector plugs into a plug, which plugs into the wall.

I accidentally broke off the plastic earth pin so need to replace the plug but I'm having absolutely no luck sourcing a replacement. Pictures in the link below.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

buy a 12V a.c. output plug-in transformer. 5A. cut the 12V plug off.cut the plugs off the light cables and hard wire into transformer.

polarity don't matter on the 12V side.

Cool thanks. Will take a look for one of those.

Looks similar to the plug on my Optimate charger, though the catch is on the thin side rather than on the wide side.

Looks like a connector used by electric car models/radio control batteries. Tamiya or Futuba from a distant memory...

This is the Danish brand:

Loevschall A/S Nikkelvej 11 DK-8940 Randers SV
Phone.: +45 8711 4050

The adapter type is '8327'.

As per Tel. To clarify - the white thing you plug into the wall that you want to replace is a transformer. The transformer itself is totally standard and interchangeable but the output connectors that the light fitting plug into are not. So if you substitute another brand of transformer you will likely find some other connector on its output, possibly on the end of a cable, which will have to be connected to the white flex from the light. It looks to me like the rating on the old transformer is 10-20VA, in which case a transformer of 20VA or 2A rating will be quite adequate.

Super, thanks for all your help. Hopefully I can get it sorted now.

Halogen Transformer Self SET-60F-1 - 12V 60 Watt (VA) IP44 - https://www.shopssl.de/epages/es122142.sf/en_IE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es122142_Licht-light/Products/180

You can buy a suitable transformer -

Halogen Transformer Self SET-60F-1 - 12V 60 Watt (VA) IP44)


with the right AMP connector from the shop at the end of the link.

It will arrive with a euro mains plug on it.

You can cut off the euro plug it is supplied with and replace with a 13Amp one (brown to right/fuse pin and blue to left pin - top earth pin not used). Remember to tighten terminals and cord grip.

I don't think those are right - the OP seems to have an AMP product rather than Molex Mini-Fit. In any case, he's got that end, it's the transformer that's broken. Marconi's solution is almost plug and play, well, fit-a-plug and play!
