I am looking for computer fan 2 pin cables

[sam_sam_sam]

I am having a hard time finding these connectors and one I can find are only 26 gauge wire I looking for something like 18 gauge or heavier

Thanks

Does the fan (or whatever you're mating to) actually require such high current carrying capacity? Or, are you trying to feed multiple devices with a "beefier" conductor?

[In the latter case, consider peeling off pigtails of smaller gauge wire to connect to the actual loads]

I have a engraving machine that has this type of connectors I need to run the wire to the optic sensor board that I am making and it goes to the laser controller board and spindle controller

The problem is that the wire size is way to small and the length are to short

computer fans use 3pin cables

A lot of them do not

Only the ones that are on the mother boards do

What kind of connector are you talking about? 12V fans? The small ones do not support big conductors like 18ga- which is not needed unless a really long length.
Standard fan connectors are Molex 2510.

I could not find them in the quantities that I am looking for and not in the gauge wire that I want to use

However

I did finally find what I am looking 22AWG JST-XH2.54-25 found them on Amazon

Even if the spacing is not exactly the same it not going to an issue because what I buying is ( female and male mating pairs ) and remove the connectors on the controller board and hot glue the wires to the board

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
