Fan connectors

[PeterTheCrab]

I have just purchased a couple of quiet papst fans, like the ones in the socket a cooler review.

My problem is that the fans have no connectors on the the end. Could anyone tell me the name of the connectors on the end of the wire, so that i can search for some


thanks

The connectors you're looking for are called Molex connectors, they come in many forms including the 3-pin motherboard connector and the 4-pin power connector. They're manufactured by (obviously) Molex.

The 4-pin power connectors are made by AMP, there called Mate-N-Lock they actully own the patent on this type on connector, molex has like products but not exactly the same and won't fit.
The 3-pin power/RPM connectors are made by Molex, they have no name but the go by the specifications of "ribbed or polorized w/ locking ramp"

If you wanna make it easy on yourself i have a couple extra if ya wanna snag em from me, both 4-pin or 3-pin described above. I can probably ship internationaly.
