40 mm 12 V case fan for tight server builds
This 40×40×20 mm fan runs on 12 V and draws 0.20 A through a three-wire connector. It fits 1U server chassis and network switches where space is at a premium. The compact frame targets system builders who need targeted airflow in dense enclosures.
Replaces worn original fans in 1U gear
Swap it in when an existing 40 mm unit becomes noisy or fails, restoring cooling without modifying the chassis. The jump is worth it if the current fan has degraded or if a two-wire replacement lacks speed monitoring. Builders needing larger frames or higher static pressure should look elsewhere.
Highlights
- 12 V 0.20 A draw keeps power use low
- 40 mm square frame fits tight 1U bays
- 20 mm thick profile slides into slim chassis
- 3-wire connector supports speed monitoring
