40 mm Ball-Bearing Cooling Fan

The OEM Industries PL40B12HH-1 is a 40 mm square DC fan designed for tight spaces inside a chassis or on a small-form-factor CPU cooler. It runs on 12 V power and draws 0.12 A through a two-wire lead. The ball bearing construction targets longer life in continuous operation. Buyers who need PWM speed control or a larger airflow envelope should look elsewhere.

Simple Two-Wire Installation

Connect the red and black leads directly to a 12 V fan header or a compatible molex adapter; no PWM pin is present so the fan will run at full speed whenever powered. The compact 4010 frame fits standard 40 mm mounting holes, but the shallow 10 mm depth can interfere with recessed headers or tall memory modules if clearance is not checked first. Vibration may transfer to thin sheet metal unless rubber grommets are used.

Fixed-Speed 12 V Operation

Because the unit lacks a third wire for pulse-width modulation, the motherboard cannot regulate its RPM based on temperature. The 0.12 A draw is modest, yet the constant 12 V feed means acoustic output stays the same under idle and load. Builders who rely on fan curves or software-controlled quiet modes will not be able to use those features with this model.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PL40B12HH-1 is spinning correctly after installation?

Check that the fan blades rotate smoothly and listen for steady airflow; the ball bearing design should run quietly at 12 V.

What comes with the PL40B12HH-1 and what must I source separately?

The package includes the 40 mm ball-bearing fan with two-wire 12 V 0.12 A leads; mounting screws and a fan header or adapter are not included.

Which version of the 4010 cooler should I choose for a 12 V system?

Select the PL40B12HH-1 model, rated for 12 V and 0.12 A, matching the voltage and current your header supplies.
