Default Speed sensor plug style

Heya folks
Did some homework but want to make sure I get the right plug...
Does anyone know what style of plug the speed sensor is as my female side has disintegrated and after pushing my hands down into the "void" as part of my update from Tippy to manual I have destroyed it.
The sensor has a male end and I am looking for the female end.

Is it

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/322433571620
this style of plug is listed as a EV3 and you can see the end is clearly male

Actually, that ebay listing is for a female connector. The male connector does not have the release wire on it.

My write up is mis leading and vague but as mentioned my female is end is "destroyed" and I attached pic of male end for the style of plug and ebay link to show female end required.

My apologies folks

For future reference moving forward the plug style is known as

BOSCH 3 PIN JUNIOR TIMER CONNECTOR IN MALE/FEMALE

a male/ female set with terminals and seals is approximately $20 AUD, probably a heap cheaper in the States I bet.

I think that, for both parts, with terminals and seals, that's a pretty good price, even in the US.

You'll find that the JPT connectors are all over the car in various pin configurations. If you ever upgrade or repair things, especially for the 2 pin connectors, make sure you find the kind with the integral spring catch on the female end; it makes is less stressful to unplug things when you don't have to worry about a critical piece flying somewhere into the engine bay.

Cheers

I hear you...the earlier types are a bugger to get the clip off.
