NA-VC1
The NA-VC1 is a sophisticated, premium grade 24V DC to 12V DC step-down voltage converter that allows running standard 12V fans in 24V environments such as 3D printers or industrial and automotive applications. Its neat, ultra-compact and lightweight design makes it easy to integrate in to virtually any environment. Compatible with both 4-pin PWM and 3-pin fans, the NA-VC1 passes through RPM and PWM signals for speed monitoring and PWM-based speed control (4-pin fans only). At the same time, it adjusts output with input voltage for voltage-based speed control. Supporting a total output power of 9W, the NA-VC1 can run multiple fans using the optional NA-SYC1 splitter cables or NA-FH1 fan hub. For speed controlling PWM fans, it can be nicely combined with the optional NA-FC1 fan controller. With a maximum operating temperature of up to 60°C, integrated protection against short-circuits, reverse polarity, overcurrent and overheating (automatic shutdown), the NA-VC1 is as bulletproof as a voltage converter can be. Topped off with CE, UKCA and UL certifications, full compliance with all applicable safety standards as well as Noctua’s 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, it is the first choice for quality-conscious customers who seek a safe, dependable solution for powering 12V fans in 24V applications.

![Ultra-compact and lightweight](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/N/A/NA-VC1.png)
Ultra-compact and lightweight
The NA-VC1 is barely larger than a standard 4-pin fan connector (31x16x8.5mm) and weighs only 6g. As a result, it can simply be interconnected between the fan cable and the power source, with no need for extra fixation in most applications.
![Ideal for 3D printing](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/3/d/3d_printers.png)
Ideal for 3D printing
Many 3D printers are 24V-based (e.g. Creality Ender 3 and CR-10, Anycubic Mega, etc.) and use 40 or 60mm fans for cooling the hot-end or the printed part. The NA-VC1 makes it possible to use standard 12V fans such as the NF-A4x10 PWM, NF-A4x20 PWM or NF-A6x25 PWM in order to achieve quiet, efficient cooling on such printers.

![PWM and voltage-based speed control](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/n/a/na_fc1_pwm_0.png)
PWM and voltage-based speed control
The NA-VC1 supports both PWM- and voltage-based speed control. PWM signals are passed through and the output voltage scales with the input voltage, e.g. if the input is 12V, the output will be ~7.5V, allowing a 12V fan to run at a reduced speed.
![RPM monitoring](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/n/a/na_fc1_manual_1.png)
RPM monitoring
The NA-VC1 features 4-pin connectors and only adjusts the voltage on the +12V line. PWM and RPM signals are passed through for PWM control and RPM speed monitoring. This makes it easy to implement control, monitoring and watchdog applications in industrial environments.
![Advanced protection](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/e/l/electrical_robustness_3.png)
Advanced protection
Designed to operate in challenging environments, the NA-VC1 is internally protected against short-circuits, reverse polarity, overcurrent, and overheating by a resettable fuse. It will shut down automatically for protection and can be easily reset by disconnecting it from the power source for one minute in a safe operating temperature (<60°C).
![Safety certifications](https://noctua.at/pub/media/producttechnology/image/s/a/safety_c.png)
Safety certifications
Unlike many cheap voltage converters, the NA-VC1 has been carefully tested for product safety and EMC compliance. Carrying CE, UKCA and UL certifications and meeting all applicable standards (EN 62368-1, EN 55035 and EN 55032), it is a safe, quality device through and through.
