[SOLVED] Does anyone know the name of this connector?

[dc2000]

We have this old proprietary PC at work built for our gate system. Recently the power supply on the controller for the gate went out and the tech replaced it for us. So now I'm wondering if I can buy something like that myself as a backup. This is the picture of the old power supply that went out:

Does anyone know what that connector is? And maybe where can I buy one power brick like that?

That would be called a three pin din plug female.
You can buy any power brick with the same output, 12 V 3.5A, and attach the din plug yourself,or pay an electrician a few moneys to do it professionally.

Thanks! Just curious, why are there 3 pin plug there? What are those 3 pins for. Shouldn't it be just two?

Positive negative and grounding,anything that has a schuko plug has three pins usually for safety concerns only.
There are laptop bricks that have 4 or even more pins for multiple grounds or for different voltages .
