Please help me find the part I need for this unique application!

Greetings,

In the attached pitcure, you will see a white female plug whose life began as a CPU fan wire. These adapters use the .1" spacing to receive 3 pins from the motherboard. In the photo I have mated the plug with a MOSFET, which uses the universal spacing as well.

My thought are to use this sort of connection between my breadboard, and a separate bench heatsink that has the transistors mounted on it. During development, this system can ease the burden of trying many different OPS schemes. Not to mention, that the transistor leads are kept pristine ready to go in your next project.

The only glitch has been trying to source these plugs (with leads?)

Or at least determine the correct name or type of plug to be used in this situation.

Any help you can give me is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

I use this system my self.

The plugs I use are from Molex, and can be supplied with wires
