Hardware question - does anyone know what is this connector?
I thought at first it's some sort of JST ZH or PH connector, but it isn't? As far as I can tell. The pin pitch is somewhere around 2.0mm. It's 8mm wide.
I want to do a reversible fan replacement on a Commodore CDTV, and don't want to cut the original wiring.
Edit: it's a Molex MicroBlade, thanks for the boosts and input everyone!

@chainq might it be in the service manual? Did you check already? (not got a CDTV but sometimes I can find connector names in parts lists for other commodore stuff)

@chainq It looks like Molex Picoblade and I've wired up too many of those today.

@chainq Looks like Molex Microblade. Unfortunately they don’t make them anymore

@chainq Have you seen the connector identification tool at https://connectorbook.com/ where you can use things like pitch measurements to help narrow it down?

@chainq It does look like MicroBlade. If so, CJT A2004 series is a Chinese second-source/clone that should mate. Available at LCSC.
