Getting ready to build my own fan connections and connectors....tired of cutting fan wires to solder them to the Power supply...Plug and play!

I just got some WAGO 2 terminal blocks. I like them, great for testing and prototypes. I'm not sure I'd use them in a production circuit, though. I'd prefer dedicated connectors. But maybe I'll change my mind as I muck around with them. Thanks for the heads up OP.
