I'm trying to replace the defrost heater in a Whirlpool

The calrod heater delivered yesterday has no connectors on the wire
leads, and I don't know where to get them or what to call them.

Description -- These crimp-on connectors are similar to the familiar
spade connectors, but the ends are rounded, bullet-like, to the same
diameter as the wire. They plug into the rear wall of the freezer

above
the freezer coils. Couldn't be simpler, but I never saw them before.

It always helps to know the exact name of what you're looking for,
either on the phone or on Google, so would someone tell me what

they're
called?

Thanks,

I have used connectors that are, in fact, called "bullet" connectors
on my older cars. I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking
at or not, but this is what I've run into:
