In Germany, you get them in usual electronics shops, if you mean this:

In other countries, you may get them at your favourite dealer of this kind. How
is this "standard shop" called in the states? Radio Shack? However, i see this
sometimes in several different catalogues in Germany, so it is quite common.
Usually used for heaters and stuff, so the name "Heissgeraetestecker" ("Hot
devices connector" :) I think they are used for power consumption of more than
10 Amperes.

More difficult to get are the high-power connectors of the Dolphin Triton,
which looks a bit similar to above, but the "pins" are turned 90 degrees and
look a bit larger. I recently found out Cisco having such cables. But i only
have one machine (Dolphin Triton) using such a beast of power connector :)
