content: I believe it is called a pluggable blade socket connectorMeasure the pitch between the centre of the blades - common are 0.3", 0.4", and some similar metric sizesBrands are Amphenol, Phoenix Contact, Wurth, etcSee Digikey part 609-4134-ND for something similar - not sure that is the right size though, and you don't need the captive screws

content: Quote from: pcprogrammer on August 08, 2021, 09:55:11 amNot exactly. The ones used here will likely be rated for something like 32A. So they have wider pitch and blades instead of pins.

content: I'm not sure but it looks like the pitch is 0.3"The closest matches I could find were these two:https://www.digikey.be/product-detail/en/1777736/277-2435-ND/2743636?itemSeq=373868656https://www.digikey.be/product-detail/en/1804917/277-5760-ND/349122?itemSeq=373868657The hooking tabs don't match but I figure I can clip them out.

content: After I desoldered the connector from the device I found it: it's a ECH880-03P from Dinkle.The mating terminal block would be the EC880V-03P. But I can't find a source.I probably will change it to a standard C13 connector for me.

content: It sure does look like it but the dimensions seems off. TheEC880V-03Pseems to have a pitch of 8.8mm (weird one that, Digikey didn't have a single one with 8.8mm pitch), however the one in your photo certainly LOOKS to be a lot closer to 7.62 than 8.8." alt="" class="bbc_img" />Perhaps it's just the fact that the face of the pins are further back than the ruler, making the pins appear closer together than they actually are.

content: I'm complety shure it's such a wired connector. I can't find a second one with 8.8mm pitch, too. Because the chambers are all equal, the picture with the caliper should show you the 8.8mmI tried to take a picture of the 'label' of the connector, but it's really hard to see the text. I tried my best to make it visible.I replaced it in my unit with a C13 socket yesterday. For me in Europe it is completly fine, because the input current will be lower than 10A.
