I've google'd the net and search this forum, but no luck. So,.......
I've encountered two of these little beasties this week. It starts
with a wall wart style AC adapter, plug-connected to a small cable,
which in turn is connected to a 12 VAC miniature halogen bulb. They
are used to illuminate floor-standing bubbling lamps, and other
similar decorative lights.
The connector, and what it might be called, is the bear! The male
plug is molded rubber, and the two connectors are a flat blade, 3/8
inch long, about 1/8 inch wide. Near that is a round pin-like prong,
probably 1/16 in. or a little larger diameter. The configuration
looks kind of like this from the top (proportions are WAY off!):

This plugs into a wall wart style Class II transformer, low wattage
(15-20W), and the output is 12 VAC (don't know the amperage, but it
only needs to drive the miniature halogen bulb). The bulb look like
overhead projector lamps.
Now, my problem: I need to find a replacement wall wart transformer.
I've searched various suppliers including Mouser.com. I can find
transformers with the proper electrical characteristics, BUT the
secondary/output connector type is seldom described (if there is no
cord attached to it). And, I don't know the name of this connector
type so I can put it into a search engine.
Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Why not take the opportunity to change the plugs to the normal DC plug &
socket ??
