1. Introduction
The 120 × 120 × 25 mm sized fan is one of the most
standard sizes and is used in all kinds of market applications.
However, there is an increasing demand from the market for
this size fan to achieve even lower power consumption while
maintaining a high cooling performance.
In response, SANYO DENKI developed and released
the “San Ace 120” 9GA type 120 × 120 × 25 mm fan
(hereinafter, “new model”) which achieves one of the lowest
power consumptions in the industry*.
The new model has a newly designed impeller, frame, and
motor and maintains compatibility in size, mounting holes,
etc. with the current model, the 120 × 120 × 25 mm “San Ace
120” 9GV type fan (hereinafter, “current model”). In the
performance aspect, the new model accomplishes high static

pressure and low power consumption in the actual operating
area.
This article provides a detailed introduction of this new
product.
3. Product Overview
3.1 Dimensions
2. Product Features
Figure 1 shows a photograph of the new model.
Figure 2 shows the dimensions of the new model.
The new model has the same mounting dimensions as the
current model, therefore compatibility is maintained.
The features of the new model are as follows:
(1) High static pressure
(2) PWM speed control function
3.2 Characteristics
3.2.1 General characteristics
There are three rated voltages to choose from (12 V, 24 V,
(3) Low power consumption
48 V), and each of these offers two rated speeds of either

the lineup features models with a PWM control function
The new model features a newly designed impeller, frame,
enabling speed variation in accordance with an external
and motor and accomplishes high static pressure and low
PWM signal, as well as models without the PWM control

function capable of supporting a wider operating voltage
range.
Table 1 and Table 2 show the general characteristics of
the models with a PWM function and the models without a
PWM function, respectively.
