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. 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. With a maximum operating temperature of up to 60°C, integrated protection against short-circuits, reverse polarity, overcurrent and overheating, the NA-VC1 is as bulletproof as a voltage converter can be. Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications, it is the first choice for quality-conscious customers who seek a safe, dependable solution for powering 12V fans in 24V applications.
Ultra-compact and lightweight
The NA-VC1 is barely larger than a standard 4-pin fan connector (31x16x8.5mm) and weighs only 6g. As a result, it can simply be interconnected between the fan cable and the power source, with no need for extra fixation in most applications.
Ideal for 3D printing
Many 3D printers are 24V-based (e.g. Creality Ender 3 and CR-10, Anycubic Mega, etc.) and use 40 or 60mm fans for cooling the hot-end or the printed part. The NA-VC1 makes it possible to use standard 12V fans such as the NF-A4x10 PWM, NF-A4x20 PWM or NF-A6x25 PWM in order to achieve quiet, efficient cooling on such printers. |

Up to 9W output
Supporting a total output power of 9W, the NA-VC1 is fit to run single fans with high power draw or multiple lower power fans that are connected to the device using optional splitter cables (NA-SYC1 or NA-SYC2) or fan hubs like the NA-FH1. |
|
PWM and voltage-based speed control
The NA-VC1 supports both PWM- and voltage-based speed control. PWM signals are passed through and the output voltage scales with the input voltage, e.g. if the input is 12V, the output will be ~7.5V, allowing a 12V fan to run at a reduced speed. |
|
RPM monitoring
The NA-VC1 features 4-pin connectors and only adjusts the voltage on the +12V line. PWM and RPM signals are passed through for PWM control and RPM speed monitoring. This makes it easy to implement control, monitoring and watchdog applications in industrial environments. |
Safety certifications
Unlike many cheap voltage converters, the NA-VC1 has been carefully tested for product safety and EMC compliance. Carrying CE, UKCA and UL certifications and meeting all applicable standards (EN 62368-1, EN 55035 and EN 55032), it is a safe, quality device through and through.
