question about panaflos

[kent_b29]

What is a panaflo connector? I think I read somewhere that panaflos only have a 2 pin conncetor, so does this convert them to 3 or 4 pin?

thanks,
Kent

um?
2 pin?

ah..
all fans run on 2 wires..
and fans with sensors have a third wire..

Panaflow fans have three pins, they have a standard two pin tail with plain wires on one end, the connectors you can buy are either three pin(for mobo connectors), or molex connectors(two pin i.e. the standard 12v rail of your PSU.

Anyone mind if I add to the confusion? ;)

Panaflo fans do not ship from Panasonic with a power supply connector, so when you take them out of the box you have a fan with three bare wires.

Most places that sell Panaflos also sell connectors. You can buy a three-pin connector if you want to plug the fan into your motherboard, or a four-pin Molex if you want to hook it to your PSU. Whichever one you choose, you need to solder it to the fan leads before installation.
