TE Connectivity AC Fans
AC fans are electromechanical devices that use alternating current (AC) to power their operation. They are commonly used in electronic systems and devices to provide cooling and ventilation. The main electronic components in an AC fan include the stator, rotor, and bearings. The stator is a stationary component that consists of coils wound around an iron core. These coils are energized by the AC current, creating a rotating magnetic field. The rotor is attached to the fan blades and spins due to the magnetic force generated by the stator. The bearings are used to support the rotation of the rotor and help reduce friction and noise.In addition to these components, AC fans may also include a control circuit, which regulates the fan speed and can be controlled by a microcontroller or external control signals. High-quality AC fans may also have thermal sensors, which detect temperature changes and adjust the fan speed accordingly.Overall, AC fans play an important role in maintaining the temperature and proper functioning of electronic devices by dissipating heat generated by their components.
