Using this 5V USB fan is a breeze. Just plug it into a USB port for quick and easy operation. If you prefer, you can cut off the USB connector and wire it directly to a 5V power source. To control the fan speed, you can use a motor controller, H - Bridge, or MOSFET. When using it, always remember to add a flyback diode for circuit safety. We recommend the MOSFET Driver Stemma for an easier solution. As for maintenance, keep the fan clean by gently removing dust from the grills and blades regularly. This will help the fan run smoothly and last longer.
