Attached is a picture of a plug that I am trying to find. I used to see them used rather frequently but I can find nothing that even looks like it anymore in any store or on line.

Does anyone know the name or style for this plug as I am looking for the other side and am finding nothing.
Don't really want to cut it off. I do not want to go that route if I can avoid it.

They were used extensivly on cars for several years before printed circuits.
You might ask to go through a catalog at NAPA or the like. Probly find one on a car at junk yard.
If I had to put a discription with it I'd call it a polorized female dual spade connector.

Looks like a power T-connector, popular with many ham radios. Google "T power connector" and you will find many hits like this;

It looks like a Packard/Delphi/Aptiv 56 series connector


Looks like the 2 position female type C

You should be able to find the housings and terminals many different places such as Digikey, Mouser, Amazon, Ebay using the PN's in the above catalog

Looks like the female connector used on about 99% of the riding mowers that have electric PTO clutches. Local mower shops may have a few sitting in their boneyard.

It looks like an old headlight plug from a 4 light setup.

That's what I was going to suggest, but it's not centered. My Jeep has a bunch of those and they're shaped more like a proper "T" than this one which is offset a little.
It's also not the ham radio style, they're centered as well.

There's a locking tab on the contact, a thin narrow flat screwdriver can unlock it. The Packard terminals might work as a replacement, it's the shell that will be difficult to find.

The vertical connector is centered above the lower, horizontal one. The spade goes into the left side of the connector.
It's a standard Packard type 56 connector.
A lot of old alternators used to have them on the back.
Probably still have some in my toolbox.

I can definitively say that your connector is....................... not worth the hunt and should just be cut off and replaced with a new one on both sides!

It is for sure the Packard 56 connector
