I need to find the grounding connector/socket (male) like in the photo for my device, but cannot find what it is exactly called or if it is rather something custom-made.

2\$\begingroup\$ Arsenii - if you are intending to use equipment such as connectors and wires in a regulated enviroment, such as a hospital, you may have to comply with colour and other specifications, including DIN 42801 compliance. \$\endgroup\$– Michael HarveyCommented Mar 3, 2020 at 18:56

\$\begingroup\$ It is a EN60601 requirement for all medical equipment sold in Europe. Other international medical standards allow a different connector but this one is accepted in any country. \$\endgroup\$– Warren HillCommented Mar 4, 2020 at 18:30

POAG Potentialausgleich (German: Potential Equalization)
POAG connectors are used for connecting items together for grounding and potential equalisation purposes, often in hospital and laboratory environments, and there is a European standard: DIN 42801, recognised worldwide.
