It looks like you could stick that in a cigarette lighter

If you plugged the other end into an outlet, would that give us perpetual power??

Cord on the hair straightener is being finicky. Took it apart not expecting this connector. Looking to find the name so I can order a new one. My Google Fu is failing me, but does bring me an Alibaba page for an EU version. I am in need of an American polarized 2-prong end (nema1-15p, I believe).

No, go buy a new one.

Part of the appliance practically. The manufacturer may or may not have the cord assembly. If not, the appliance is unrepairable.

I ended up just getting a two prong polarized plug from the local hardware store. I cut out the receive side of this connector and spliced in the new plug. Works fine, but am saving up for a replacement in short order.
