Where can i get these connectors from?

Hey guys, do any of you know the real name/product code for these 3-Pin female fan connector blocks:

I desperately need some with pins, but searching sites like RS or Farnell for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack

How many you need + do they have to be black?

So its not the male connector that fits into it that you're after? It's exactly the same but with pins sticking out?

If you look 4 items up from the bottom of this page: http://www.dorothybradbury.co.uk/#main-page

Is that what you want?

About 8 and in black/white if poss.

Nah its the female one just like in the link (except Kustom don't have stock) + the little little bits of metal that go inside.

Basically I want to make my own fan cables out of coloured wire, rather than sleeving the cables.

Not really, and I'd still need the plastic casing

Maplins sell them, cos I bought some.

Did they come with pins too? If so, i'll have to make a trip to them tomorrow

I`d phone em first, cos I done a search on their site and only came up with one of those extension thingies. I busted into the store in cardiff and happened to see them whilst looking for something else, they had pins.

Problem is tho, when u search Maplins u think u know what they`re gonna call something and u`r way off.

The male versions were called 3 pole pcb mount connectors or something..
