Product description: Argon Mini Fan for Raspberry Pi 4B with switch and heatsink
Mini Fan is a fan module designed forRaspberry Pi 4B. The product has dimensions of45 x 45 x 15 mmand uses only 12 GPIO pins in the Raspberry Pi. This allows you to use the rest of the GPIO pins in other projects. The HAT fan is fully controlled by theON - OFF - PWMswitch. You can turn it on, off or program it to turn on at a specific temperature. Athermocoupleis also included for better heat transfer from the PCB to the heat sink on the bottom of the unit.
