The **W2CE-1C3-R2** is a specific part number typically associated with high-performance **Cooling Fans** manufactured by companies like **Nidec** (formerly Sanyo Denki or similar high-end industrial brands). It is commonly utilized in server racks, telecommunications equipment, and industrial power supplies. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Table The following table highlights the general electrical and mechanical characteristics of this component series: | Parameter | Typical Value | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | AC Axial Fan | Uses Alternating Current for rotation | | **Input Voltage** | 230V AC | Standard European/Industrial voltage | | **Frequency** | 50/60 Hz | Compatible with global power grids | | **Current Draw** | ~0.10A - 0.15A | Varies based on load and frequency | | **Frame Size** | 120mm x 120mm x 38mm | Standard "square" fan dimensions | | **Bearing Type** | Dual Ball Bearing | Long-life, high-temperature resistance | | **Housing Material** | Die-cast Aluminum | Provides structural integrity and heat dissipation | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design The internal circuitry and physical build of the W2CE-1C3-R2 include several critical electronic elements: * **Shaded Pole or Capacitor-Run Motor:** The "1C3" designation often implies a specific winding configuration. These motors are brushless and rely on the AC frequency to dictate RPM. * **Impedance Protection:** The motor windings are designed to resist burning out even if the fan rotor is physically locked (stalled) for a period of time. * **Termination (R2):** The suffix "R2" typically refers to the electrical connection type. In this series, it usually denotes **Lead Wires** (rather than terminals) for direct soldering or connector crimping. * **Insulation Class:** Usually Class B or F, meaning the internal wiring insulation can withstand temperatures up to 130°C–155°C. --- ### 3. Applications Due to its robust AC design, this part is used in environments where DC power is not readily available or where high reliability is required: 1. **Server Cabinets:** For extracting hot air from the rear of the rack. 2. **Industrial Control Panels:** Keeping PLCs and Inverters cool. 3. **Medical Equipment:** Large-scale imaging or lab machines requiring constant airflow. ---
