Computer Fan Power Source

[WhiteArmadilloBrewing]

I picked up a little 80mm 12vdc computer fan to blow air across my SSRs then out of my control panel enclosure. I'd prefer to hardwire it within my panel so that as soon as there is power to the panel the fan kicks on.

Is this possible? Or do I need to either (a) buy a 120v fan or (b) pick up some kind of adapter?

Thanks!

you just need a 12 volt ac adapter, you can buy several kinds, open board, closed like a laptop or din rail

I've got plug style ac adapters lying around but no open receptacles on my enclosure. It is possible to route through an old one I have around the house? If not, I'll pick up a din rail one

Most 12V wall warts will run off 100-240V, if you don't want to buy a DIN mount one just mount it somewhere in the control box and wire it permanently. Otherwise those meanwell supplies are more or less the same thing inside.
