Dimmer switch connector type?

Hi!
my dimmer switch that controls the lights inside the cluster and AC panel burned up and the connector got melted together with the switch housing. So I had to cut the 3 wires from it.
Now i just got a new dimmer switch, but I would like to get a new connector to secure the wires to. Does anybody know what type of connector it is? If there's any possible to find it on Google and order one.

Here's a picture of how bad the dimmer switch looked like after it burned up.

Recommend trying these guys first - they stock lots of OEM automotive connectors: https://www.corsa-technic.com/

If you can't find what you need by browsing their website, give them a call & send them some good clear photos of the good mating connector on your new dimmer switch. With that they can often find what you need.

Looks like you'll need Sumitomo 6240-5160. You may want to confirm with corsa-technic first, they carry Sumitomo connectors.

Update!
Corsa-Technic did confirm the 6240-5160 and i order it. Got the 22-20 AWG (0.3-0.5mm) pin connectors. Package came yesterday, and everything fits and works flawlessly! Thank you for the help and info about Corsa-Technics website.
