Thanks 😊

Hello, I'm trying to find this RED PLUG, but there are MANY styles out there so I cannot identify by name such as one model that is called an XT-90 (THIS IS NOT THAT). There are so many I think I'll never find it scrolling through pictures. Can any electricians identify it so I can buy one...

Could any kind person please tell me the map from X, Y, Z...
