Where to find Molex/3-pin fan connector pins/leads?

[screw3d]

You know, the little metal pins that connects to the wires. The used ones holds the wires really tight and I risk deforming the whole thing if I attempt to pry them open.

SVC don't carry them as of now.

Where else to look, especially with first-class shipping as an option since these things are so small?

I know siliconacoustics.com carry them:

Example 1
Example 2

but they are kinda pricey for these little buggers. No I don't wan't to get stuff from radioshack if possible.

um, digikey sells them, but i assume you want small quanities, not 100 of them... digikey has a min $$ purchase or you get a $5 surcharge.

svc does carry the adapters, and that's the cheapest option if you want to get a handful

I'm not looking for the adapters..

What I really need are the pins to connect to bare fan leads, so that they can then be connected to the connectors..

splice the wires... unless you really want to spend $$ on bulk quantities
