I needed to install the 4 Trident bed fans from https://github.com/VoronDesign/VoronUsers/tree/master/printer_mods/CannedBass/Trident_Bed_Fans and needed a way to connect them nicely. Since I don't like using Wago connectors for such small wire and the 5015 fans came with the standard JST-XH 2 pin connector, this 5 way splitter allows you to power up 4 fans from another JST-XH connection.

Make sure the sum of the 4 fans' amperage does not exceed whatever the source can provide! in my case, a 5015 fan takes about 0.1 A while the source can provide 2A, so it's all right. Also, pay attention to polarity (red goes to red, black goes to black, don't let wires touch when soldering).

Depending on where you bought the connectors, the model might need a bit of tweaking in order to achieve a satisfying press fit - Fusion 360 source is included if you need it. 

The connectors should press fit into the mount - pro tip: place the connector on a table with the pins up and press the mount onto the connector while keeping it level.
