Molex KK series 0.1" pitch. The part you want is the housing, plus you
have to buy terminals separately and crimp them onto the wires. There are
also IDT types that accept individual wires (similar to the
ribbon cable connectors). There are a LOT! of options wrt. locking,
polarization and so on.

Here's Molex's web page: http://www.molex.com
and a page from the Digikey catalog http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T033/0087.pdf

I'm never sure when I see RS whether "Radio Spares" (UK chain) or
"Radio Shack" (US/Canada chain) is meant.
