## Description

This little desktop fan is simple but super handy. It's a ~12VDC fan in a nice enclosure, you can sit it on your desk and [power it off of any 9V](https://core-electronics.com.au/9-vdc-1000ma-regulated-switching-power-adapter-ul-listed.html) or 12VDC power supply ([even a USB booster cable if you want](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-to-2-1mm-dc-booster-cable-12v.html)). Adafruit have used this fan pointing out to cool off hot projects or PCBs after reworking, or turn it around to make it an exhaust fan during soldering.

It has a magnet in its base, making it easy to be fixed upon an iron or metal surface ([maybe a good match for the Mag Hand workstation?](https://core-electronics.com.au/hobby-creek-mag-hand-professional-workstation.html)). It's nice and quiet while operating and will fit in quite nicely with any workstation. There's an on/off switch when you're done working. It's hard not to be a fan of *this* fan!

**Power supply is *not* included** - technically it is rated for 12VDC but Adafruit have used it at 9VDC just fine. You can pick up a [9V 1A power supply here](https://core-electronics.com.au/9-vdc-1000ma-regulated-switching-power-adapter-ul-listed.html) or if you have USB outlets, try [a 12V USB booster cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-to-2-1mm-dc-booster-cable-12v.html)
