Default Little connector

It's one of 4 metal connectors that goes into the grey plug that connects on to the back of the blinds switch....the part number of the grey plug is 993971972.

Thanks for your help...

Don't recognise the connector type. I thought all the sockets that plug onto the switches had tagged spade connectors in. Will root around at the weekend and see if I can find some more info.

Try a local auto-electrician; they should stock most connectors. Trouble with those is they are hard to get hold of, and are supplied in large quantities. We used to use these in my old firm... I'm just trying to think of the manufacturer name... AMP/ Tyco rings a bell for some reason...

Default Where to buy this little...

A tagged spade connector will probably do the same job to be honest...I will try it tonite to see if they will fit into the plactic connector....

I decided to order the connector with wire from Tps for now...they actually cost 3.50 each...which is a bit pricey I thought...but not much choice...I will look up those manufacturers cos it would be good to source those connectors for similar jobs...

Thanks for the suggestions guys...
