    I am looking for computer fan 2 pin cables

    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

          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

                New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
                by wnlewis
                OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

                Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

                This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

                The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

                Where may I find parts...

                Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.
                by emeskay
                We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...

                Vintage fan repair, copper wire question
                by technicalspecialist
                I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
                It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
                I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
                I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.

                I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.

                The enamelled copper...

                Heater element wire type instead of a fuse when troubleshooting a short circuit DIY
                by sam_sam_sam
                I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story

                I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...
