GP D60SH-12 6025 Cooling Fan — 60×60×25mm, 12V DC, 0.18A, 3-Wire Silent Axial Fan

GP · 6025 Form Factor · 12V DC · Tachometer Output · In Stock

The GP D60SH-12 is a 60×60×25mm (commonly referenced as 6025) axial DC cooling fan drawing 0.18A at 12V, with a 3-wire interface providing V+, GND, and a tachometer (RPM) feedback signal. GP is a third-party OEM label widely used in replacement-fan catalogs for industrial enclosures, embedded controllers, and small automation cells. At roughly 2.16W of draw, the D60SH-12 sits squarely in the “light-duty” cooling class, where it is matched against the heat-load of a single control board, an HMI backlight, or a stepper driver heatsink rather than a full power-supply bay.

1. Key Technical Specifications & Overview

Because the 6025 footprint is shared by dozens of OEM labels (Nidec, Sunon, Delta, AVC, Foxconn), the D60SH-12 is most often sourced as a form-fit-function replacement — the bezel pattern, screw spacing, and connector pinout must be matched against the host board, not the fan label. Engineers cross-checking against existing Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Mitsubishi spares lists should compare current draw and tach output, not just dimensions.

2. Application Scenarios — Where It Fits

The GP D60SH-12 6025 fan is a general-purpose axial flow unit intended for sealed enclosures with modest heat dissipation needs. In the industrial-automation context it shows up most often as a replacement part for the following hosts:

• Small PLC racks and remote I/O blocks — secondary cooling where a single Omron CP1E or Schneider Modicon M340 backplane is sealed inside a wall-mount cabinet.
• HMI touch panels and operator stations — exhaust-side fan on the back of a 7–10 inch panel, helping the LCD backlight inverter and CPU board stay within spec.
• Compact inverters and servo amplifiers — the 6025 form is common on the heatsink shroud of low-kW drives from Yaskawa Sigma and Panasonic Minas lines.
• Industrial PCs and edge gateways — top or side exhaust on small fanless-converted-to-fanless-with-fan IPCs that ship with a 60mm cut-out.
• CNC machine auxiliary bays — in Fanuc 0i / 30i enclosures where the spindle cabinet is sealed and a single radial intake is not enough.
• 3D-printer and motion-control stepper driver cooling — direct-mount heatsink fan for closed-loop drivers, where 0.18A at 12V matches the printer’s PSU rail.
• Vision inspection enclosures — the KEYENCE CV / XG camera head enclosures that need a low-vibration, low-dBA axial fan.
• Low-power server rooms and network racks — top-of-rack exhaust fan on 1U / 2U appliances where a 40mm fan cannot move enough air.

Use the KOEED PLC Error Code Database if the host system is logging a thermal-fan alarm — the fault is often a failed 6025, not a CPU fault.

3. Integration & Wiring Notes

The 3-wire variant of the D60SH-12 follows the de-facto industry convention used across Allen-Bradley and Siemens panel PCs:

• Red wire — V+ (12V DC). Tie to a fused 12V rail. Most 6025 fans accept 7–13.8V, so the same wire can run from a 12V lead-acid backup rail.
• Black wire — GND. Star-ground back to the cabinet chassis ground bar; do not daisy-chain across multiple fans if the run is more than 200mm.
• Yellow wire — Tachometer (open-collector, pulses per revolution, typically 2 ppr). Pull up to logic level (often 3.3V or 5V) through a 10kΩ resistor at the PLC / MCU end. A stalled fan pulls the line low continuously, which is what supervisory firmware (e.g. on Mitsubishi MELSEC or Omron SYSMAC CPUs) interprets as a fan-fault.

The D60SH-12 does not include a PWM control input. If your host platform (a Schneider Magelis HMI, for example) expects a 4-wire PWM fan, the tach output is still usable for monitoring, but speed regulation has to be done by an external FET on the V+ line.

For cabinets that already host Fanuc servo amplifiers or Yaskawa Sigma drives, observe the manufacturer’s 100mm minimum clearance around the air intake; the 6025 form factor has a relatively short 25mm depth and benefits from a straight, unobstructed path.

4. Installation & Commissioning Tips

A 6025 fan swap is a five-minute job on most modern enclosures, but a few habits extend service life significantly:

• Match airflow direction. The label side typically faces the air intake. Reversing the fan in a KEYENCE vision enclosure can push warm air back across the camera sensor instead of exhausting it.
• Use the original anti-vibration grommets. The D60SH-12’s sleeve-bearing variant can transmit 50Hz hum into thin-gauge steel panels; the four corner grommets damp this.
• Confirm rotation at first power-up. Listen for a 1-second ramp, then steady-state. A stalled fan that draws 0.18A without spinning will heat up its windings within minutes.
• Tie the tach wire to a known input. Verify with the PLC Analog Calculator or the Modbus CRC Calculator tool when you bring the panel back online — many control vendors require a sanity check of the supervisory register before the cabinet is signed off.
• Avoid stacking heat sources. Two 6025 fans mounted 10mm apart on the same heatsink will starve each other; offset them or use a single larger 80×80×25 unit.
• Document the bearing type. Sleeve bearings are quieter but rated for ~20,000 hours; ball-bearing variants are louder but last >40,000 hours. Note which your cabinet was built with so the next replacement matches.

For diagnostic support on a stubborn thermal alarm, the KOEED AI Diagnostic Tool accepts a photo of the host panel nameplate and will suggest candidate replacement fans including the D60SH-12 line.

5. Procurement, Warranty & Lead Time

The GP D60SH-12 is a catalog stock item at KOEED and is typically shipped from the Shenzhen / Hong Kong dual base within the same business week. Quotation is by email — we do not publish fixed unit prices online because fan pricing moves with copper, magnet, and bearing-component markets. To get a binding quote, send a one-line email to Moritta@KOEED.COM with your required quantity and target delivery country, or use the Create a Quote form to add the part to a larger BOM.

• Lead time — 1–3 business days for in-stock units; 2–3 weeks for bulk orders >1,000pcs.
• Minimum order — one unit; volume discounts available on request.
• Warranty — KOEED supplies only tested, working units. Fans with sleeve bearings carry the OEM-rated service-life caveat; please specify ball-bearing variants for 24/7 installations.
• Worldwide shipping — DHL / FedEx / UPS standard; bulk orders can be palletized for sea freight.
• Documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, and Certificate of Origin supplied with every shipment.

Engineers maintaining spare-parts kits for multi-vendor plants (covering Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic, and KEYENCE equipment on the same shop floor) usually keep a small stock of 6025 fans on the shelf — the D60SH-12 covers the majority of those form-fit cases. For full-BOM requests covering fans, drives, PLCs, and HMIs, send the instrument list to Moritta@KOEED.COM and we will reply with availability and price within 24 hours.
