A friend has had a thermostat failure, and a cable is on (very long) backorder. It's getting cold up here in New England, so he asked if I can identify the connector type so that he might get a temporary replacement.

Well, I can't. It's not something I recognize, although it stirs very faint memories.

Can anybody help?

    \$\begingroup\$ It's a standard pluggable terminal block. Without dimensions (e.g. pitch), further details can't be given. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @TomCarpenter - Thanks for the response. I've pinged my friend for a pitch measurement. In the meantime, is there a manufacturer I could take a look at? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Seriously, it's a super common terminal block, they are literally everywhere. Just measure the pitch. Spontaneously it looks like 3,5mm but it's hard to tell from a picture. \$\endgroup\$
