I'm trying to buy some connectors pairs, exactly the same as this half.
It's off the controller for a Lewmar Bow Thruster.
4 way
Latching
Mating pins look as though they'll have to have a square cross section.
The square section in the RH photo is about 9mm x 9mm, and the total length is about 20mm.
I've tried a google search, including an image search, without success. I can see similar, but the all have blade electrical contacts.
Does anyone recognize this connector, and better still known where I can but a few, matching pairs.
I could change the connector, but I'd like to keep the wiring compatible with the original equipment, so I can easily go back to the original system, if I need to.

No, as I said it doesn't have to be the same, but if it isn't, it will be incompatible with the original equipment, and the other spares I have. So no easy swap in the event of a failure mid cruise. Changing the connectors is a fall back position.
Thanks Sticky Fingers, you put me on the right track.
It's actually the next. size up with a 4.2mm pitch, Molex Mini Fit series 5557, with series 5559 being the male version.
The part number is 39012040. It's available in stock, cost pennies, minimum order 6,000 .... I need 10 max.
I also need the male half and male and female contacts.
I've not yet found a company that will supply small numbers, but I'll have another go tomorrow, too late to be messing around on the web tonight.
Thanks for you help.

Great news, glad I could be of assistance. Think RS do them in packs of 5?
