content: Good day- I have a tractor that is 12 volts that has a white connector. I cannot attach it here as the file is too big. Please email me at semerm12@gmail.com and I will send it to you. I want to add a light and need the opposite connector to connect to. Anyone know what it is called and where I can get one? Reply appreciated.

Please reduce the size of your file by appropriately cropping and resizing and selecting a favourable file format.

content: I'm sorry, can't ID it,looks like a Molex, but Molex makes hundreds of automotive type connectors. Your best bet is to go buy a mating pair of automotive, 2 pin connectors rated at 15 amps from your local electronics or even automotive parts store. Cut that one off and replace it. If you are short on length, splice a short bit (>=160mm to be safe) of 14 AWG? multi-stranded copper wire in to make up the length.

content: When you go down to the parts store, show those pictures. You might get lucky and it's something they can match easily. You can always do plan B if that doesn't work.

content: Brumbly- that looks like it but I see it only can be shipped to Australia, darn. I'll see if I can find it at a local artist parts store. Thanks everyone!

content: It's a pretty common connector style. I've seen it frequently used in cars - especially older ones.You have given no indication as to where you are, so I just looked generally and this was just the first hit I got. I expect there will be other places around the world that are going to have it.

content: The title might help with some further searches, but if the 250 refers to the size of the connector blade, then I think you will find that a couple of male 1/4" spade connectors will fit in there quite nicely - but this won't have the polarising body or the retaining clip.
