Identifying DC electrical power connector

connectordcidentificationpower

I have here a PowerFilm 10 Watt F15-600 Solar Panel, and attached to the panel is this connector:

The male end attached to the panel has a little green rubber gasket on it and the female end goes to a 12V female "port" into which you can put a 12V male cigarette adapter.

Notice how there is a gap in the right-side of the male plug and how there is a corresponding slot in the female one so that the polarity won't be reversed. Also, the clip won't attach if it was reversed.

I am just wondering if there's a place I could get more of these female ends so I can make more water-resistant attachments to the solar panel. The socket is a pretty good design, but I wonder if it is a proprietary design.

This looks like a connector from Weather Pack family.

These connectors are often used in American cars and motorcycles. So, they are fairly common in the US. For instance, an auto parts store near my house carries them.
