Features
- Designed to fit into the lid of the official Raspberry Pi 4 Case
- Temperature-controlled fan operation
- Provides up to 1.4 CFM of airflow
- Helps cool the processor, memory, and power management IC
- Includes an 18 x 18 x 10 mm heatsink
- Heatsink includes a self-adhesive pad for heat transfer
- Suitable for high-performance Raspberry Pi 4 applications
Principle of Operation
The Raspberry Pi 4 Official Case Fan combines a heatsink and temperature-controlled fan to remove heat from the Raspberry Pi 4. The heatsink transfers heat away from the processor, while the fan moves air across the internal components. Fan control is provided through the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface.
Library Needed
No specific library is required for the physical installation of the fan. You can implement software-based fan control using Raspberry Pi operating system tools or appropriate GPIO and PWM software when needed.
Applications
- Raspberry Pi 4 cooling
- High-performance Raspberry Pi projects
- Gaming systems
- Media center applications
- Projects with extended CPU workloads
- Overclocked Raspberry Pi 4 systems
Pinout
The fan connects to the 40-pin GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi 4. The fan control connection uses a user-selectable GPIO pin for PWM-based speed control.
Specifications
- Input Voltage: 5V DC
- Power Connection: 40-pin GPIO header
- Fan Speed Control: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
