Review on CRJ 2 Pin Female Adapter 2 Pack by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Reverse polarity best in connectors and adapters

I installed this in a 24v 350w power supply and found the fan never kicked on under load. Upon checking, the polarity of the +12V and GND lines in the 2-pin connector was wrong. I tested this by making sure the Noctua NF-F12 fan works properly via the standard 4 pin connector and by connecting the adapter to the fan with DuPont cables in both cases. Since it's almost impossible to disassemble the small 2-pin connector without damaging the connector, I remodeled the 4-pin connector on my fan to match the wrong pin on the adapter. Attention buyers! Check your fan pinouts against the fan and board schematic.
