Can anyone identify this plug/socket, used for power take off from a mower? See pictures at

I actually want some sockets and don't really need the plugs but if I can't get exactly the same plug/socket then I can if necessary replace both halves.



It would be nice if the sockets accepted the 'T' cable connector you can see in the last two pictures but again it's not absolutely necessary.



They need to be reasonably weatherproof but the existing ones are far from waterproof and the screws inside the plugs are rusty.


doesn't remind me of anything

Then it did start to remind me of some connectors by Bulgin, any thing match?

I was also thinking maybe Bulgin, or Molex

Have you tried a google image search ?

There's a Bulgin plug here (Ebay 297387736125) that looks similar.

I was thinking about the plug and socket arrangement in a cordless pole hedge trimmer. My Qualcast M0E-7ET-410 has a connector that looks the same and I suspect it may be common to other makes because some people seem to sell pole extensions.

A bit of searching suggests they are made by Stiga, and are common on mowers and other agricultural kit.

For example:

They are used by Stiga but I doubt if they make them. I'm trying to find the real manufacturer so I can buy some at a slightly more reasonable proce than Stiga charge for them (via their resellers).

The mark-up on Stiga spares is huge, belts for example can be bought for a third of the price of 'genuaine' Stiga ones and are just as good, if not better. It's fairly easy to measure belts and find equivalents. I was just hoping I might be able to de the same with these sockets.

The S on the front is the logo of Schneider Electric, and so:

According to the datasheet linked from above they're originally a Stromfors part.

Pricing however looks similar to the Stiga part, although there are refurbs seemingly available?

Actually, since this is a car application you presumably want the 12V DC version, which is part number 30 302 6000. Those are a bit cheaper:

(I think the different part numbers have different keying so that you can't plug a load of one voltage into the supply of a different voltage. The rated voltage relates to the keying rather than the maximum voltage it can carry)

Brilliant! Thank you.

The Radwell link doesn't seem to be the same thing though.

I'll have a dig away at the Schneider/Stromfors ossibilities.

Ah, no, the picture is just a picture of a standard Radwell box.
