Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Frame Size** | 40mm x 40mm x 20mm | | **Rated Voltage** | 5V DC | | **Operating Voltage Range** | 4.0V to 5.5V | | **Rated Current** | 0.33A (Max 0.50A) | | **Rated Power** | 1.65W | | **Speed** | 8200 RPM | | **Max Airflow** | 10.10 CFM (0.286 m³/min) | | **Max Static Pressure** | 0.332 in H₂O (8.43 mmH₂O) | | **Noise Level** | 30.5 dB-A | | **Bearing Type** | Two Ball Bearing | --- ### 2. Electronic Component Features #### A. The "R00" Suffix (Sensor Type) The **-R00** designation is critical. It indicates that this fan is equipped with a **Locked Rotor Sensor** (also known as a Failure Detector). * **Function:** It outputs a logic signal (High or Low) to the system controller to indicate whether the fan motor is spinning or has stalled. * **Benefit:** This allows for system-level safety shutdowns if the cooling fan fails, preventing thermal damage to sensitive electronics. #### B. Commutation & Protection * **Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor:** Uses an internal electronic commutator rather than carbon brushes, reducing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and increasing lifespan. * **Polarity Protection:** Usually includes a diode to protect the internal circuitry if the positive and negative leads are reversed. * **Auto-Restart:** The internal IC monitors the rotor position; if a jam occurs, it periodically attempts to restart the motor once the obstruction is removed. #### C. Bearing System The **Two Ball Bearing** system is an electronic/mechanical hybrid choice. Compared to sleeve bearings: * It has a much higher MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). * It can be mounted in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, or angled) without affecting lifespan. --- ### 3. Wiring Configuration The EFB0405VHD-R00 typically features three wires: | Wire Color | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Red** | VCC | Positive Power Input (+5V) | | **Black** | GND | Ground / Negative | | **Blue/White** | RD Signal | Sensor output for Locked Rotor detection | --- ### 4. Typical Applications Due to its small 40mm footprint and high 5V performance, it is commonly found in: * Network switches and routers. * Compact power supplies. * Single-board computers (SBCs) or high-end 3D printer hotends. * Portable medical devices. ---
