Fan Power Connector

[JavaLawyer]

I need to purchase small molex pins for a case fan power connector. I am referring to the small 3-pin adapter, not the large rectangular 4-pin molex.

Is there an industry name/size for these smaller molex pins? What is the name of the plastic housing?

I found a number of online retailers selling "fan tails" consisting of the connector with a length of wire attached. I just need a bag of molex pins and several empty housings. I only ran across one retailer that sold individual housings with 3 pins (for $2 each!).

I must be searching for the wrong name, else I would have found lots of places to make my purchase. Please help.

best thing is to go to an electronics equipment retailer, such as Radio shack (though there are better places, check the Yellow Pages)... They're simply called 3-pin Molex connectors (Molex is the manufacturer).

Radio shack does not carry them.

FYI: There are at least 50+ varieties of molex pin types that I know of -- molex is a general term, not a specific part.

frys electronics carries them if you have one near you.

Fry's electronics is not on the East Coast. In any event, I'm looking for the exact name of the pins and size.
