Hopefully someone can help me here because I really can't seem to find these damn things anywhere.

You know you can buy these, well I need a bunch but literally only for the ends (the female mostly). This is for a case mod project involving an Arduino, PWM controller and some RBG lights, so my plan is to have my LED strips with a 3 pin female connector at the end. So in total I need like 10 (prefer more due to potential to make an absolute arse of it) and it seems a total waste to buy complete cables and cut them all up. I want to avoid having no modular cables, so no soldering of cables directly to the strip.

Can I literally just buy the heads of the cables? It would also be nice to make my own, so I have two reasons for not wanting to buy complete cables :p
 
There are website for these I’m sure, I’ve bought from them before. The problem is none of us can post competitor links.

Let me look through my saved project spreadsheets and see if I can trust you a link.
 
If it helps the Molex 6471 series connectors work well for this. The crimp terminals are a little more tricky to find though.

For the male end you can get strips of solder connectors for next to nothing.
