Story
M a PC enthusiast and i run a PC MODs shop
I was unable to find good quality PC PWM fan splitters locally same was the case with ARGB splitters.
The demand for above items is pretty great considering PC motherboard have limited headers and most of the custom PC builds require multiple fans and ARGB LED control
Being honest the reason to make above project boosted as i got contacted by elecrow. The invitation was perfect and as i read through the more i got attracted towards the offer.
As far as this project goes its pure n simple nothing fancy or complex about it. It could have been a single sided PCB but i wanted to know for future, that if need double sided PCBs how those would turn out. So just with a little bit of spice i made this splitter PCB 2 sided.
So heres a plain simple layout. DT is basically my Youtube channel name (DIYtech) and the 0.1 is the version.
My plans were not to make it commercial so i didnt make the reference desginators that much user friendly.
For FAN
- From left to right (column)t in below Picture the pins are. 1. PWM 2.Tachometer 3.12V 4.Gnd
- The first row is the input connector (IN) and rest are the split outs (F1 to F5)
For ARGB
- If u want to use it as an ARGB header the first row is the input (IN) and rest are the split out for ARGB(F1 to F5)
- From left to right (column)t in below Picture the pins are. 1. Gnd 2. NC(no connection) 3. signal 4. 5V
PCB by elecrow
Its an absolute beauty. Perfect PADS, VIAs, holes, reference designators and PCB coloring
Fans splitter
ARGB splitter
i want to thank elecrow for for MAKING MY MAKING EASIER, looking forward to more projects with them.
As for the elecrow community if i will be sharing the projects surely will be more user friendly with better reference designators :)
