In need of 2-pin headers: where to buy them?

Hello, I need a few pairs of male-female 2-pin fan headers to create some ready-to-use resistors, does anyone know where I can buy them? If you have some and are willing to part with them, please get in touch too.

Thanks!

Have you tried out at Sidewinder PC or Petra's Tech Shop?

Regards,
Luca

Unfortunately, they don't have this kind of stuff, only those "standard-issue" 3 and 4 pin headers. I'm back scavenging info...

Something like this? Can be ordered with only two pins, if needed. It's from an Italian site, tend to get lost in there, hope you find the mating part.

Hi,

I gott them from junk computers, female from fans and male pcb from motherboard.

It surely is the best and cheapest option. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to salvage them from

Nope, the ones I'm looking for are like these:

I guess I'l have to buy a Mini Kaze and strip them off it...

Try www.mouser.com or www.digikey.com. They'll certainly have them; although it might take a while to locate the part in their catalog if you don't know the exact part name.

edit: from digikey, I think you want CONN HOUS 2POS .100 W/RAMP/RIB.
(don't forget to get pins for them too...)

They're not the ones I want, but thanks anyway for the effort

That is likely a XH connector housing.
It is a 2.5mm pitch connector produced by several Asian vendors. Digikey sources them from JST.
The two position housing [XHP-2] is digikey part number 455-2266-ND
Tin plated crimp terminals, 22-28AWG for that housing are [SXH-001T-P0.6] digikey part number 455-1135-1-ND
You will also need crimping pliers.

I'd say that my search is over then, thank you very much!
