Try searching under FASTON in the AMP website.  You can start here and pick
the attributes you need.

Here is a link to one of the connectors
http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/TE/docs/pdf/0/46/160640.pdf as an
example.

Wurth's website doesn't seem to have an online catalog available (I'm seem
to remember that they did, though) but here are some part numbers for them:

.250" Receptacles

9959	20-16g
9962	10-12g

.250" Tabs

9960	20-16g
5054	14-12g brass

The Wurth CD catalog I have definitely shows the locking tabs on the .250"
Tabs but I can't tell on the .250" Receptacles since the photo shows the
wrong side.  They also have the newer style connectors that VW/Audi is using
that are more like spring loaded fingers than the rolled over type.  I can
try and do a screen capture of the Wurth connectors and e-mail it to you if
you like.
