I'm missing one connector for these plugs
formatting link
Connectors like these are all proprietary right ? What can I do ? Is there such thing as a universal connector for this purpose ? Thanks

Nope, that's a Molex.

If it was me, I would get hold of a discarded PC ATX Power supply which has a large 20pin Molex connector which could be carefully cleaved with a craft knife to leave a connector which would fit your socket. On the ATX connector there are around four or five suitable pairs, leave the wires in place to connect to, a simple insulated block connector would for that. Of course I know that the purists here are going to say you should buy a new plug, but no one will be able to tell you where to get a single unit, and anyway this is more satisfying. Also to be considered is, that if you do manage to get hold of a suitable plug kit, you will need a crimping tool to connect your wires. With best regards, 3T39.
