Where can I find these PC plugs/sockets?

[3Tripnip]

Hello all!

I am about to finish up my canopy and lights, but I am looking for some square pin plugs for my PC's. I have used the Panasonic sockets, but they don't work as well (at least in my opinion) as these other ones. I can't find anyplace online that sells these though. Can anyone help me out? I drew a quick model of it in CAD, so please see the pic of it. Thanks!

Ben:
If I may ask, what was wrong with the Panasonic style pins? I've used them without problems.

You may want to consider the water-resistent rubber endcaps:

I recall the pin orientation on these are like the one you pictured (not like the panasonic type).

I found it. It's a connector for a circline fluorescent bulb.

Now I just need to find a place that sells them.

Len: The Panasonic style ones worked alright, but I would sometimes have the bulbs not turn on. I tried about 6 different sockets and they only occasionally worked. I had a ballast with this type of connector on it (circline type) and it worked great!
