Two part cooling fans on a Tool board
-
I need to connect two part cooling fans to a 1.1 tool board, they can be controlled together. Is the best option to remove the jst connector on the board and solder on a terminal connector? If so, can someone point out a part number for the terminal. It does not appear to be listed on the wiki page.

@3dprintingworld Just wire the fans together in parallel to the jst connecter.
I used this kit, since those tiny crimps are a pain for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096QG96J4 -
@stephen6309 I thought about that but the jst's are soo small I was not sure if I could git it to fit. I think your link it broken.

@3dprintingworld It works on my pc in chrome.
Do a search for JST Connector Socket Kit with Pre-Crimped Cables. Two show up on the USA site.

@stephen6309 oh, now I get it. You are saying solder the cables in parallel before the connector. I would rather go another route where I don't have to get the soldiering iron out if a fan goes dead.

@arnold_r_clark I might just do this but I mean what is the point of the tool board if you have a bunch of loose connectors anyways. I'm just a little picky when it comes to my builds and prefer it clean.

Anyone know a part number or know where I can purchase screw terminals for the tool board? They appear to be a smaller pitch then typical.

@phaedrux I don't see where it specifies any information about the pitch, series or the part number for the screw terminals. Maybe I'm missing it somewhere?

@3dprintingworld download and look at the ibom.html files for the older version of the tool boards with terminal blocks at https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet3-Toolboard-1LC which should show the terminals used. Would do it myself, but on phone!
