Hi guys,

Recently I broke one of the two connectors of my fan as in the picture.

Can someone tell me how to search for a replacement? What is this connector type called?
Those plugs are spliced on at Mesa.
Take that cable to a hardware store. Look for someone wearing a vest, probably a red vest. Show them the cable. Make it clear you need a plug that is narrow like the broken plug so it will fit between the cabinet and the transformer.
If all else fails, call Mesa and leave a message. Don't bother emailing, that doesn't work. They will get back to you. Find the phone number on Google.
 
If you want a whole new cord, you could get this and just use the cord and toss the fan. It's the same.

I don't think the Mark III fan outlet is polarized, in which case the fat prong won't fit.
I could be wrong...

As well as the one on this page (the page has DIY instructions with pictures - scroll down a bit you'll see the plug etc):

The fans are AC, so it's not polarized.
In the US, we use 120V. One wire is the "Hot," and the other is the Neutral.
The Neutral is supposed to be larger than the Hot. This is an effort by the National Electrical Code to minimize the chance of voltage being on the threaded portion of a light socket, among other items that may end up with voltage on parts that can be touched by the end user.


This is great info, thanks everyone. I have a Mark III in my shop that needs a new fan cord.
