Key Features

120 × 120 × 38 mm Industrial Cooling Design

The NMB-MAT 12038VA-24N-FB is a DC axial cooling fan with a 120 mm square frame and 38 mm depth. Its 12038-size construction is associated with forced-air ventilation for compatible industrial inverters, electronic power supplies and control equipment. The frame must be matched to the existing mounting points and available installation clearance.

24VDC and 0.96A Electrical Configuration

Multiple independent exact-model supplier records identify a nominal 24 VDC supply and a 0.96 A current rating for 12038VA-24N-FB. These values correspond to a calculated electrical input of 23.04 W. This specification differs from the 0.74 A rating of NMB's standard 12038VA-24N-EAE model, so the two configurations must not be treated as electrically identical.

Three-Wire Equipment Connection

Commercially documented -FB assemblies use three electrical conductors. A specific industrial fan supplier describes a four-position white connector containing three actual wires. Another exact-model listing describes the third conductor as a tachometer signal. Because an NMB -FB-specific wiring diagram has not been independently verified, connector keying, polarity and auxiliary signal behavior must be checked before installation.

N-Class Forced-Air Cooling Capability

The manufacturer's standard 12038VA-24N series has a published performance reference of 4700 RPM, 182.6 CFM maximum airflow and 207 Pa maximum static pressure. However, the -FB model has a different commercially documented current rating. Suppliers also disagree on its speed and airflow, reporting values including 3600 RPM, 4700 RPM and 130 CFM. A verified exact-assembly performance curve is required for critical thermal calculations.

Ball Bearings and Brushless Motor Construction

NMB's 12038VA series documentation specifies ball bearings, a brushless DC motor and a plastic fan frame and impeller. Exact-model suppliers also identify dual ball bearings for the -FB configuration. The standard series documentation includes automatic restart, reverse-polarity protection and an L10 bearing-life reference, but the precise environmental and reliability ratings for the -FB assembly require separate confirmation.

Industrial Inverter and Machine Cooling

Commercial parts references associate 12038VA-24N-FB with industrial inverter cooling, including selected ABB equipment applications, and with CNC machinery ventilation. These applications involve moving air across power electronics and internal heatsinks. Equipment compatibility should be confirmed using the complete fan label, existing connector, installation dimensions and required cooling performance.

  • Industrial rectifier and power supply enclosure ventilation
  • Industrial communication and machine-control equipment cooling
  • Replacement of compatible 120 × 120 × 38 mm three-wire DC axial fans

Purchase Information

We support online purchase inquiries for the NMB-MAT 12038VA-24N-FB DC Axial Fan. If you require bulk quantities or information about related industrial cooling products, please contact our team with the required quantity, full model number and equipment specifications. For replacement applications, please provide photographs of the existing fan label, connector and mounting frame, together with the inverter or equipment model where available. We can provide quotation information and discuss applicable delivery and transportation arrangements after reviewing your request. Please verify the nominal 24 VDC supply, 0.96 A current marking, 120 × 120 × 38 mm dimensions, three-wire arrangement and connector pin assignments. For applications requiring defined RPM, airflow, static pressure, monitoring signals or environmental protection, obtain exact-model documentation rather than substituting the standard 12038VA-24N-EAE specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NMB-MAT 12038VA-24N-FB?
NMB-MAT 12038VA-24N-FB is a 24 VDC axial cooling fan documented in industrial equipment spare-parts catalogs. Multiple exact-model sources specify a 120 × 120 × 38 mm frame, 0.96 A current marking and three-wire connection. A commonly documented assembly identifier is 12038VA-24N-FB, 01.

What is the rated voltage of 12038VA-24N-FB?
The nominal voltage is 24 VDC, consistently reported by multiple exact-model suppliers. NMB's standard 12038VA-24N series specifies an operating range of 18.0–27.6 VDC, but this has not been independently verified for the exact -FB configuration. Confirm the applicable voltage limits before installation.

What are the dimensions of 12038VA-24N-FB?
The documented fan dimensions are 120 mm wide, 120 mm high and 38 mm deep. The standard NMB 12038VA mechanical drawing shows approximately 105 mm between mounting-hole centers and 4.3 mm diameter mounting holes. Verify the actual -FB mounting frame, lead exit and connector clearance against the equipment.

What is the rated current and power consumption?
Several independent exact-model listings specify 0.96 A at 24 VDC. The calculated electrical input is therefore 23.04 W. This calculation is based on the reported current marking, not a separately confirmed manufacturer running-power measurement. It differs from the standard 12038VA-24N-EAE rating of 0.74 A and 17.76 W.

What is the fan speed of 12038VA-24N-FB?
Exact-model supplier information is inconsistent. Several commercial listings report 4700 RPM, while another gives 3600 RPM for an assembly designated 12038VA-24N-FB-01. The standard NMB 12038VA-24N-EAE model is rated at 4700 RPM, but its other electrical specifications differ. A manufacturer-confirmed exact-FA performance rating should not be inferred from the standard series; use an exact-FB datasheet or tested assembly data when speed is critical.

What is the maximum airflow of 12038VA-24N-FB?
One commercial -FB-01 supplier reports 130 CFM. NMB's standard 12038VA-24N-EAE configuration is rated at 182.6 CFM. Because those models have different current ratings and no manufacturer airflow curve was located specifically for -FB, neither value should be treated as a universally established maximum airflow for every -FB assembly.

What is the maximum static pressure?
An exact-model supplier lists approximately 122.5 Pa for 12038VA-24N-FB-01. The standard manufacturer-documented 12038VA-24N-EAE fan is rated at 207 Pa. This substantial difference reinforces the need to verify exact-suffix performance before using the fan in a system with restrictive filters, heatsinks or ventilation paths.

What is the noise level of 12038VA-24N-FB?
A commercial -FB-01 listing reports 53 dB(A), while NMB specifies 59 dB for the standard -24N-EAE model. A manufacturer noise specification for the exact -FB assembly has not been independently established. Actual installed noise also depends on enclosure geometry, fan guards, mounting and system airflow resistance.

Does 12038VA-24N-FB use three wires or four wires?
Multiple exact-model suppliers identify three electrical conductors. One industrial fan supplier documents three wires fitted to a white connector housing with four positions. Therefore, the connector may physically have four cavities without using four electrical leads. Verify the connector housing, populated contacts, lead colors and pin sequence before replacement.

Does the third wire provide a tachometer, alarm or PWM signal?
One exact-model supplier describes a tachometer output on the third wire. However, the signal function and its electrical characteristics have not been independently verified with an NMB -FB-specific wiring diagram. A three-wire interface does not, by itself, establish a dedicated PWM speed-control input. Do not assume the third wire can be connected to any particular control terminal without checking the exact equipment wiring.

What is the difference between 12038VA-24N-FB and 12038VA-24N-EAE-0?
Both belong to the NMB 12038VA family and share nominal 24 VDC operation and a 120 × 120 × 38 mm frame. The -FB is commercially documented at 0.96 A and commonly uses three wires, while the manufacturer specifies 0.74 A, 17.76 W and a standard two-wire interface for -EAE-0. The -EAE-0 also has confirmed performance ratings of 4700 RPM, 182.6 CFM and 207 Pa. The two models must not be assumed interchangeable without checking electrical load, connector wiring, mounting and cooling requirements.

What should be checked before ordering 12038VA-24N-FB?
Confirm the exact model 12038VA-24N-FB and any assembly identifier such as 01, nominal 24 VDC supply, 0.96 A current marking, 120 × 120 × 38 mm frame dimensions, mounting-hole spacing, three-wire arrangement, four-position or other connector housing, contact population, pin assignments, wire length, rotation and airflow direction. For inverter cooling applications, confirm the complete equipment model and existing fan assembly. If exact speed, airflow, static pressure, noise, ingress protection or monitoring behavior is required, obtain documentation for the -FB configuration rather than applying the manufacturer specifications of the different standard -24N-EAE model.
