Where can I find a female connector for the male connector in the picture?

That looks like a standard US mains plug. I'd say a trailing socket from a US extension cord should fit. Where in Europe you might get such a thing is another matter.

My understanding is that the Teks used a standard US plug there. So most extension cords will fit in. Except - you have to reduce the extension cord's socket's outer diameter so that it'll fit in - you can just take a knife to one and remove the extra material.

Thaks for replies!

I have ordered one like in this link:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350913051163?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It is only for 125 V, but try it.

Just on the off chance that someone is working with adapting a US plug to something else. Keep this in mind. (In order to stay safe as possible)




If the male plug has a sideways blade on your right (holding the plug facing you), it is meant for a 20 Amp socket. If the female end has the T shape on the left, it is 20 Amp rated but can accept a 15 Amp plug as well.

And here's the others.
