Connector advice required.

[Arnak]

Hi,

Could someone advise me what would be the best small small push together connector for a 240 volt 500ma pc fan?

It is to be used to cool an electronics enclosure but I would like to be able to pull the connector apart as the fan is in the lid of the enclosure.

Thanks,

Martin

120W PC fan?

Are you sure?

Seems it is not a PC fan, but a big MC (mainframe computer) fan.

Get a IEC extension cord, cut it in half and use the ends for the source and the fan.

(small small means nothing) give dimensions !

Probably 24 V fan.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.)

My mistake, it is a 240v 0.14amp fan.

As to the size, I was just looking for a connector that was small and discrete such as the size of a banana plug or similar.

Only so it looked neat in the enclosure.

A 33 W fan in a pc? Did it come with ear plugs?

whatever it is, for safety you need to use a mains rated connector.

IEC connectors would be my recommendation but they're larger than your target.
