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!

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

@jamesb Thanks, this info might have put me on the right trail.

However, I think it's not a PicoBlade - it has definitely a wider pitch than 1.25mm, but maybe it's a MicroBlade? That seems to have a 2.0mm pitch.

Yeah, the pitch did make me think twice about commenting. I'm not familiar with microblade but I've never seen those blade type contacts from any other manufacturer.
