This is a fairly large, 80x80x15mm fan. The fan has a DC brushless motor, with an operating voltage of 5V, and is rated at 360mA. Keeping the temperature down in your project can often be a necessity, and this fan can definitely help.
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

I bought this fan to use with a motor controller chip also purchased through this site. Both came packaged well. I used pulse width modulation from an MSP430 microcontroller with the motor driver and was able to control the fan speed. Worked great! Thank you.
If I ran this at 6v how long til it would fail if at all?
could this fan be used as a wind generator to power an Arduino pro mini and a standard servo using the wind of a leaf blower?
Can you run this fan from the a wall outlet powered arduino?
360ma, you would be fine running it off of the 5v pin and ground, just don't try to run it off of one of the regular I/O (input/output) pins.
When will these be coming in? Its been almost 2 weeks. :(
Sorry, but they sent the wrong thing and we're working on getting them re-shipped.
do you need a brushless motor ESC to use one of these? or can you just hook it up to 5VDC?
:D datasheet dont help me any...
does anyone know the max heat dissapation??
That depends on the humidity, temperature, and pressure the air in location that you are cooling.
:( more numbers
What would it take to step 110 down to run this. I don't see any DC to DC converters that step down that type of voltage?
Where did you find a 100v DC power source?
Probably just regular 110v out of the wall that's been regulated to DC. Although that would have to be a pretty beefy circuit...

That's a link to a japanese clothes store. Thanks for the info though.
It looks like this might be the manufacturer's page: http://www.shvt.cn/en/DC-FAN/
If so, it looks like these are ball-bearing (the -PHB- in the model number would be -PHS- if it were a sleeve bearing). Maybe. The data sheet is awfully brief and is partly in Chinese, which I can't read.
Also an important thing to know would be if these are ball bearing or sleeve. I would guess sleeve bearings, because of the price, but I'm just making sure. (These are important things to know, please tell us!)
I believe the
B
in the product number means ball bearing. I could be wrong though.Uh... how much air can these fans move (CFM)?
According to the datasheet, 20.17CFM.
