Default Switching polarity on Slim Fan?


I thought I read a post the other day about this but I tried searching and couldn't find it. Could someone help me out? Thanks!

what do you want to know?

you can make the fan blow both ways depending on how you wire it.

right. in a 12v DC cicruit you can switch the power and ground wires and it will reverse the spin of the fan.

I don't know how this will affect the flow of the air though. Those fans are designed to either be pusher or puller fans. The angle of the fan blades may be good for one but not the other.


Just something to take into consideration.

ah got it, thanks. I can flip just the fan blades over after I reverse it and it pushs just as much. Thanks!

right, it should say if it's reversable design or not.
