Cooling fan INTER-TECH DFG12038B12DN 120 mm 12V 0.38A

The INTER-TECH DFG12038B12DN is a 120 mm axial cooling fan designed for forced ventilation in personal computers, electronic enclosures and other equipment that require steady air circulation. It operates at 12 V DC with a rated current of 0.38 A and fits standard 120 mm mounting cutouts, providing continuous airflow to assist in heat dissipation and help maintain stable operating temperatures for internal components.

Advantages

This 120 mm fan combines a standard form factor with a compact profile for easy installation in most cases and enclosures. The 12 V DC rating and 0.38 A current specification support reliable continuous operation under typical system loads. The axial design focuses airflow through the frame to improve ventilation efficiency in confined spaces, while the simple power connection allows straightforward integration with common system power sources.

Suitable for

• Case cooling in desktop PCs and workstations
• Ventilation of electronic cabinets and enclosures
• Airflow support for power supplies and cooling assemblies
• Replacement of 120 mm axial fans in industrial or hobby equipment

Key specifications

• Fan diameter: 120 mm
• Rated voltage: 12 V DC
• Rated current: 0.38 A
• Axial fan design for directed airflow
• Standard 120 mm mounting compatible with common cases and brackets

How to use

Install the fan into a compatible 120 mm mounting cutout using the existing screw holes or mounting hardware supplied with the chassis. Ensure the airflow direction corresponds to the intended intake or exhaust orientation. Connect the fan to a suitable 12 V DC power source, observing correct polarity; use the system fan header or an appropriate adapter to a power rail if required. Secure cabling to prevent contact with the blades and verify the fan spins freely before powering the full system.

Recommendations

For best results, position the fan to create a clear air path through the enclosure and combine it with complementary intake or exhaust fans when possible. Regularly check and clean dust build-up on the blades and grille to maintain airflow efficiency and cooling performance. If quieter operation is required, consider mounting with vibration-dampening pads and controlling the fan speed through a compatible controller or motherboard fan header.
