What are they called, and does anyone know a part number, etc?

They are molex connectors.  And where to get them depends on their configuration - I believe that you will need to get ones that match both the number of connectors AND the shape configuration of those connectors (the plastic shape). 

The name should at least get you moved forward a bit.

(And, just in case, these aren't meant for multiple connect/disconnects...if your thinking of using them for that you might want to check DB cables/connectors instead...)

He does. But in bulk, they might likely be cheaper online.

Nope, not Molex connectors... 

These are AMP connectors, maybe the MATE-N-LOK?

Looks like Molex "mini-fit" connectors.

The connectors are stamped with AMP, though.  As in AMP / Tyco electronics, I think.

Ah, then these are AMP/Tyco "Mini-Universal Mate-N-Lock" or "Mate-N-Lock II" connectors. Mouser has those.

Found out these are Tyco / AMP Universal Power connectors, parts # 176299-1 and # 176298-1

The pins that go inside are part # 175149-1

Got them in my hands today, and verified that they match.  :cheers:
