Noctua NA-VC1, 24V to 12V Step-down Voltage Converter (Buck Converter) for Running 12V PC Fans in 24V Applications (3D Printers, etc.)

The NA-VC1 is a sophisticated, premium grade 24V DC to 12V DC step-down voltage converter that allows running standard 12V fans in 24V environments such as 3D printers or industrial and automotive applications. Its neat, ultra-compact and lightweight design makes it easy to integrate in to virtually any environment. Compatible with both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin fans, the NA-VC1 passes through RPM and PWM signals for speed monitoring and PWM-based speed control (4-pin fans only). At the same time, it adjusts output with input voltage for voltage-based speed control. Supporting a total output power of 9W, the NA-VC1 can run multiple fans using the optional NA-SYC1 splitter cables or NA-FH1 fan hub.

For speed controlling PWM fans, it can be nicely combined with the optional NA-FC1 fan controller. With a maximum operating temperature of up to 60°C, integrated protection against short-circuits, reverse polarity, overcurrent and overheating (automatic shutdown) as well as a safety fuse that protects other components in case the unit is mechanically compromised, the NA-VC1 is as bulletproof as a voltage converter can be. Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications, full compliance with all applicable safety standards as well as Noctuas 6-year manufacturers warranty, it is the first choice for quality-conscious customers who seek a safe, dependable solution for powering 12V fans in 24V applications.
