Seasonic internal fan connector

Post by jsw » Wed Sep 18, 2002 2:33 pm

Hi All,
Does anyone know an affordable source for the internal fan connectors used in the Seasonic Power supplies? I know that SiliconAcoustics has them, but I need a bunch, and $3 seems pretty steep. I've scoured the Digikey catalog and the Molex web site to no avail. Just a manufacturer and part number would be most helpful. Thanks.

JSW:

To be right honest with you, I am unfamiliar with the Seasonic connector. Do you specifically need the same part from the Seasonic PSU?

If not, 2 ideas come to mind:

1) Why not locate some old PSU with the same connector & rob the connector & wires and then solder them onto the fans?

2) Why not adapt another connector from another manufacturer? I.E. Molex, AMP, etc.

TerryW :D
