DIY fans - trying to understand wiring

[kratonwatch]

apologies in advance for the long post.

I’ve watched east tactics fan video and shock mitigation videos forwards and backwards. I have an Amazon cart with everything I think I need to wire and install fans on 5 rigs, one being Kraton 8s where I’m going 2x fans on the motor and I want to diy it.

I have everything I think I need except an on/off switch that has a JR on one side and balance plug on the other end. I’m sure I can make this by sacrificing something, but the one I got from a small fan company looks clean and OEM. Does anyone know if this wire exists? I’ve spent hours looking to no avail. This would also avoid the need for me to solder anything since I can just make Jr connectors where needed.

My other question is this Jr plug has two positive and negative wires in there, that powered two fans before they broke. I know the person who sold me this did it, but is that cool to run or should it be done differently? I’m new to wires and the electricity.

Are the fans you're getting already terminated with a certain connector?

If so, you just need a Y-splitter to connect them to the on/off switch , correct?

Just let me know the specs you need..

I can custom solder up something to accommodate.

I appreciate the offer. Let’s see if I can work this out first.

The fans won’t have connectors on the end, so I’ll make a jr that connects to a Y/split jr for two fan connectors. One from esc, two from fans so I’ll need another tiny split like I pictured and I figured I’d make an identical JR so that one with stacked wires (+ +\- - ) in one JR connector. Then like all of you im sure, runs down to an on/off switch that is JR on one end and connects to balance lead of 3s. Replicating the set up I had, only better.

I can’t find the on/off switch with that configuration, so I’ll end up making it by using another wire as donor.

Is it safe to stack wires like that and have power from 3s moving through all those connection spots? Again, new and trying to do this properly.
