Connector Similar to IDE Harddrive Power Connector?

In my vending machine saga I am looking for a 2-pin version of the pictured connector. I believe it's the same pitch and has the same size pins as the old IDE harddrive power connectors. One side of the connector is square, the other is triangular. My Google abilities are lacking this morning.

Greatly appreciate any help finding the right series number, and possibly a source for a mating pair of the 2-pin version. It looks like they may be obsolete.

Thanks. I did just come across those at Jameco Electronics. They are close, but not quite the same. The connectors in the machine actually come to a point, where these Molex connectors have a blunt end.

Looks like Molex 1396 series. The pitch is 5.03mm, which looks to be correct. I can't believe my partner, who isn't electronics oriented at all, came up with this in about 30 seconds!
