Wiring connectors
Hey all. I am working on installing some superduty upfitter switches in my truck. I am trying to rewire some of the stock wiring. Long story short, I would like to replace a couple of the connectors. I have searched the interwebs and the mouser website looking for connectors and pins. I have had no luck though.
I thought I had found a replacement connector for the plug to the back of the switches themself, but it turns out, what I found is the same as the 4x4 switch and not the upfitter switches, so I am no the look again.
The connector itself has numerous markings. The lock piece is marked with PBT-GF30.
The connecter is marked with what I think is SPS-GF30.
I initially thought that I needed to be looking for an 8-pin connection, but as can be seen both pieces also have an MXN 12 designation which seems to indicate I should be looking for a 12-pin connector. I cannot find anything though. Anybody have any idea how to decipher these notations, so I can locate the appropriate connector. I was able to find the actual pins completely by luck since they are the same as what is used for the power fold mirror mod.
In addition, I had tried to splice power from the stock trailer brake controller. Unfortunately, this didn't work and I would like to remove the splices and return it back to stock. I am looking for the appropriate pin to be used in the connector, which is marked PB1-1 on the front and PBT-G15 on the back. If anyone can help me to locate the appropriate pin for this I would be grateful again.
Thanks in advance for any help. PS. I tried to post this in the Electrical how-To forum, but apparently, I don't have access to post there.

Probably not what your wanting but I ended up just buying the harness and cutting off about 4 inches of wiring and the connector. Did a simple wiring job using some relays that came with my lights and tapped a fuse to power the switches and Amber lights.

Thanks for the response. I was actually able to find the connector with a wiring pigtail on Rock Auto. Once I got the part number, I was able to find it on Amazon.

Here is the connector at Molex.
Note the picture is wrong, it just shows the family but the part number is correct.https://www.molex.com/molex/products...ngs/0347290120
This is the terminal you need:
