Where does one get plugs like this?

I have been searching for female/male plugs like this? Radioshack doesn't have them. It doesn't have to be exactly like the one pictured. The one below is from a google search and comes up with alibaba/chinese/taiwan.

Just times I want to have a plug together for small things; lights, radio,etc.

Try a local hobby shop. One that carries RC cars and planes(HobbyTown, etc...). They will have very similar connectors that they use for batteries. Should have different sizes too.

Decent electronics stores(like Radio Shack used to be) will have them. Elliott" Electronics here in AZ or you can go to a great web site called Waytec Wire. They have it all including weatherpac connectors and parts.

Re: Where does one get plugs like this?

Molex makes many connectors in single and multi-pin configurations that are nice for protected areas such as the interior of the truck or under hood. If you've ever taken a PC apart and found a white plug with four pins connected to your hard drive or CD/DVD drive that was probably a Molex 8981 connector. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector

Re: Where does one get plugs like this?

You are a motorcycle gal, try those shops. I would think they have lots of very small connectors...

Re: Where does one get plugs like this?

Funny Orrie, but I was just looking at my bike (SV650 suzuki) I rarely ride it, but if I sell it, I'll get the wants for another one, so it's like saving money for me to keep it! laughing here!

True, but you'll pay 3 times the amount at a bike shop as you'd pay somewhere else...
