Solved! While it is definitely no standardized plug, my solution is that I found a cheap LED extension cord on ebay, gonna hack a few of those apart.

I bought a few of these LED stripes when on sale and want to run them from a common 12V DC source which means I need to replace the wall warts. I don’t want to hack off the plug from the stripe if possible, so if possible, I’d like to build a distribution box that offers the same socket as the wall wart does. Any hint would be appreciated.

    You’re right, it does. The pin position seems to fit as well. However, those don’t seem to have the flat area on the bottom which could be ignored if I were to buy the male side but unfortunately not the other way round :/ Thanks though!

      That little flat part seems to be the piece that makes the connector proprietary and ensures that users won’t hook up a power supply that is not compatible. I would consider cutting it out of the way, allowing the above linked connectors to fit. As an electrician and electronics enthusiast, I have done something similar on multiple occasions. Just ensure you are supplying the proper voltage to avoid any damage.
