Does anyone know a vendor that sells 2-pin connectors? Preferably someplace that sells them in smaller quantities since I don't need 100 or even 50 of them. I'm replacing the fans in my PSU and need to change the connectors from 3pin to 2pin. I'd rather not go with a 3pin-to-2pin adapter. Thanks.

You can simply splice the wires together then solder the connection or use electrical tape.

I assume you mean cutting the existing 2pin connectors from the existing PSU fans and using them for the new fans...? I'd like to keep the existing fans/connectors intact for another project where noise isn't an issue, and use new 60mm fans with 3pin connectors (which I would cut off) and replace with the 2pin connectors I'm looking for...

allelectronics.com has them in 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10-pin pairs (you get both the female and male parts), but I'd reconsider changing the connectors as 3-pin female will fit on two pin male, just shifted right or left - only change if space is a real issue. You can shift the contacts around within the 3-pin connector to match whatever the male is.
