Mini PWM DC Fan Speed Controller – Precision 4-Wire Fan Control

Take full command of your 12V four-wire PWM fans with this compact, high-quality DC fan speed controller. Built for hobbyists, PC builders, and electronics enthusiasts, this single-board module delivers smooth, adjustable speed control via a simple potentiometer — no complicated wiring required. Made in Mainland China.

Why Choose This PWM Fan Speed Controller?

  • Adjustable Speed Range: Full PWM output from 0% to 100%, giving you complete control over fan speed for cooling and noise management.
  • Built-In On/Off Switch: Conveniently cut power to the fan without disconnecting any wiring.
  • Stable Performance: Metal construction with reliable circuitry ensures consistent, long-lasting operation.
  • Simple Wiring: Red and black input leads with a standard 2510-4P CPU/chassis fan output connector (2.54mm pin pitch) — plug in and go.
  • Start Speed Trim: A dedicated onboard potentiometer lets you fine-tune the minimum start-up speed (0%–60% range) for your specific fan.
  • Reverse Timing Fan Support: Short the onboard (PF) solder point to reverse the PWM direction — compatible with reverse-timing fans after simple modification.
  • Ultra-Compact Size: At just 2.5 × 2 cm, this module fits in the tightest of builds and enclosures.

Important Notes Before You Buy

  • ⚠️ This controller is designed exclusively for 4-wire, 12V PWM fans (e.g. CPU fans, chassis fans). It is NOT compatible with 2-wire or 3-wire fans.
  • Always match the fan voltage to the power supply voltage.
  • Turn off power before making any adjustments to the (PF) solder point to avoid component damage.
  • Potentiometer: turn counter-clockwise to minimum/off, clockwise for maximum output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this PWM fan speed controller work with my 3-wire or 2-wire fan?

A: No. This module is specifically designed for 4-wire PWM fans operating at 12V. It controls fan speed via the dedicated PWM signal wire found only on 4-wire fans. Standard 2-wire and 3-wire fans do not have this signal wire and cannot be controlled by this module.

Q: What voltage does this DC fan speed controller support?

A: The module operates on DC 12V and is compatible with a supply voltage range of 8–15V. Always ensure your fan's rated voltage matches your power supply to avoid damage.

Q: How do I set the minimum start speed on this controller?

A: There is a small trimmer potentiometer on the board dedicated to start-speed adjustment (range: 0%–60%). Use a small screwdriver to fine-tune it so your fan spins up reliably from a standstill when you first turn the controller on.

Q: My fan speed changes in the opposite direction when I turn the knob — what should I do?

A: Your fan is likely a reverse-timing PWM fan. With the power disconnected, use solder to short the (PF) pad on the board. This reverses the PWM direction, allowing the potentiometer to control a reverse-timing fan in the correct direction.
