Square black plastic 40mm cooling fan with four wires visible

Haywards

Haywards DBTB0428B2G 40×40×28mm 12V 4-pin fan

SKU CH-CYCJ-9QPTG

A 40×40×28 mm 12 V PWM fan delivering 19.4 CFM at up to 18000 RPM with double ball bearings and a 70000-hour rated life

  • High-speed cooling up to 18000 RPM
  • PWM intelligent temperature control adjusts fan speed
  • Double ball bearing rated for 70000 hours
  • 4 CFM airflow through 40×40×28 mm frame
  • 4-pin 12 V interface with 7.0-13.4 V operating range

Purpose and audience

The Haywards DBTB0428B2G is a 40×40×28 mm 12 V cooling fan built for computer cases. Its 4-wire PWM interface and double ball bearing suit builders who need targeted airflow in tight spaces. The 19.4 CFM rating at up to 18000 RPM serves high-density component layouts. Buyers seeking silent operation or larger-frame fans should look elsewhere.

Build integration

The four-pin power connector plugs directly into standard motherboard headers for PWM intelligent temperature control and speed measurement. Operating voltage ranges from 7.0 to 13.4 V with a 1 A current draw and 12 W power rating. Plastic frame construction keeps weight low. No mounting hardware or ducting is included, so installers must supply their own screws and airflow path.

Sustained-load behaviour

Double ball bearing construction is rated for 70000 hours of continuous running. At maximum speed the unit produces 54 dB of radiator noise, a constant factor during prolonged loads. PWM regulation allows the motherboard to reduce RPM when thermal headroom appears, lowering acoustic output without stopping airflow. The 12 V design maintains stable performance across the declared voltage window.
