Which connector is this?

Very generally speaking, it kind of looks like the connector on my low voltage lighting. But to be honest, it's simply a connector. Good news is you have both sides of it so you can probably use it for most applications. As long as you don't exceed it's amperage capabilities and voltage isolation.

Sorry - that's the best I got.

[edit] it IS polarized. Can be plugged in only one way, so it's good for DC connections. No shielding, not good for audio or other signal sources.

Thanks for your answer, but I´m just after an extension chord that fits there. It´s used to connect a solar panel to a LED light in my garden.

Explain exactly what you have and what you want to accomplish. We're good at easy questions like yours.

If my imagination is right, you have a DC cord from a solar panel running to an LED and you want to extend the wire. That's as easy as splicing in two wires. Since it's low voltage and likely low amperage, splicing wires together will probably do nicely. I'd keep the plug to make it easy to service. If there's a need to disconnect - the plug makes that possible. The ONLY thing I'd advise is to make sure you connect the positive to the positive. Get those reversed and you could damage something. Most likely the LED lamp. But without more information this is just guesswork.

If you are having difficulty finding a mate you can always clip off the connector and add one of your own choosing.
I always cut of connectors with some extra length on the lead just in case I need to use it again.

These things are made one day of one color and flavor shape, the next day from the plastic raw material they found, next day is something else... and for manufacturing items, not for single quantity sales to one single buyer person once a month for a 1 cent profit.
But, anyway :

And finding an extension cord; to the lenght of your choice... forget it. Make/modify it your way.

Thank you everybody! I got some more info now to work with.. either extending it by myself, or getting a 3m extension (a total of 8m will prolly do); knowing that it´s considered a ledstrip 2-pin connector helped me to find more with this layout.

The first of the china links show what I´m after, and I´ve found a 3m version elsewhere.

Big Box hardware stores sell rolls of 50 feet 16 gauge two conductor lamp cord. You can put whatever connector you want on it. Would not recommend using a common 110 plug though, easy to plug it into a wrong source - and poof goes the LED. And maybe even the house.
