Hi guys,
I have an Ideal Logic C30 combi boiler. I'm going to be changing the thermostat controlling it soon, I currently use a Nest gen 2 controlling the relay, but Google in their wisdom are removing smart functionality for these in October.

I intend to use an opentherm controller (Tado). My boiler appears to have the correct harness, but doesn't have the plug to connect to the opentherm/weather compensation connection.

I've attached a picture of the connector. The complicating factor is that I'm in Ireland, the few UK sources I've found wont ship here. To my eyes it looks like a fairly generic 4 wire molex, but I cant find a generic type either.

Any advice/pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Lumberg Rast 3611 connector? Farnell sell them, and I assume Farnell supply to Ireland?

Pictures of them here which might help you. If I was you I’d not bother trying to get the specific connector, just use your own connectors, even wago or similar and just make the correct connections

Edit too slow it seems other above have found the right one

A quick follow up to this, the Lumberg Rast 3611 connector needs a small modification to fit. There are small keyed plastic tabs that you can snip off with a side cutters. Still worth it, as they are less than a 10th of the price of the official connector from Ideal.
