Product Title
SANYO DENKI San Ace 38 Ultra-Low-Noise DC Fan – 9GA0312E30011 | 38x28mm, 12V, 2.16W, Smooth Frame, 47.0dB(A), Pulse Sensor Only
Product Overview
The SANYO DENKI 9GA0312E30011 represents the ultimate convergence of acoustic excellence, energy efficiency, hygienic design, and cost-effective simplicity within the San Ace 38 series. Engineered for applications where minimal audible disturbance, minimal power draw, maximal surface cleanliness, and simplified control are equally critical, this model operates at an industry-leading 47.0 dB(A) while consuming just 2.16 Watts.
Its defining feature is the smooth, non-ribbed plastic frame (Ribbed: No), which eliminates crevices where dust, microbes, or particles can accumulate — making it uniquely suited for sterile environments such as operating rooms, laboratories, and food-processing facilities. Despite its ultra-low speed of 14,000 RPM, it delivers sufficient airflow (0.34 m³/min / 12.0 CFM) and static pressure (250 Pa / 1.0 inchH₂O) for passive cooling in low-heat-density systems.
Equipped with a pulse sensor only (no PWM control), it provides real-time RPM feedback for basic diagnostics while eliminating complexity and cost associated with dynamic speed regulation. Certified as an Eco Product by SANYO DENKI and compliant with global safety standards, it supports sustainable design goals while delivering unparalleled silence and ease of maintenance.
Key Features

Applications
This ultra-quiet, ultra-low-power, smooth-frame, simplified-control fan is optimized for:
-
Medical Monitoring Devices: Patient vital signs monitors, ECG machines, infusion pumps — requiring silent, hygienic, cost-effective operation.
-
High-Fidelity Audio Equipment: Amplifiers, DACs, preamps, studio monitors — where even minor fan noise ruins listening experience.
-
Laboratory Instruments: Spectrometers, microscopes, chromatographs — needing stable, particle-free, vibration-minimized cooling.
-
Food & Beverage Processing: Packaging machines, refrigeration units — requiring washable, non-porous surfaces.
-
Consumer Electronics: Smart speakers, VR headsets, gaming consoles — prioritizing immersive, distraction-free experiences.
-
Green Technology Systems: Solar charge controllers, IoT sensors — maximizing runtime on limited power budgets.
Wiring & Connection Guide
Standard 3-wire interface:
-
Red Wire: +12V Power Input
-
Black Wire: Ground (GND)
-
Yellow Wire: Pulse Sensor Output (Open collector, 2 pulses per revolution)
Installation Note: This model does not support PWM speed control. It will operate at full rated speed when powered. For variable speed applications, consider models with PWM function (e.g., 9GA0312P3G001).
