USB Desk Fan OEM/ODM

USB Desk Fan

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Product Overview

USB Desk Fan is a catalog and search term for a mini and portable fan. A mini fan is a low-power fan, usually with a 4 to 8-inch blade, powered by USB, a lithium battery or a small adapter. The body is light enough to be carried, clipped or placed on a desk.

The unit draws power from a USB port or a power bank, so no mains plug or voltage variant is needed and one SKU serves all markets. For this item the electrical rating is 2.5 to 5 W at 5 V DC, USB-A or USB-C input, the main unit size is 16 x 10 x 20 cm, 4 to 6-inch blade, and the construction is brushed or brushless DC micro motor.

Many people work or sleep in places where a large fan or an air conditioner is not suitable, such as dormitory beds, car seats, strollers and shared desks. A mini fan gives personal airflow in a small space and without a mains plug.

E-commerce sellers, gift and promotion buyers, chain retailers and brand owners buy the product, because it has a small carton, a low unit price and, in USB versions, a design that needs no voltage variant. Typical placement includes office, dormitory and home office.

Main points for buyers

  • Electrical rating: 2.5 to 5 W at 5 V DC, USB-A or USB-C input
  • Core part: Brushed or brushless DC micro motor
  • Size: 16 x 10 x 20 cm, 4 to 6-inch blade
  • Control and fitting: Push button, 3 speeds
  • Noise: Below 35 dB(A)
  • Order planning: MOQ from 1000 pieces, standard lead time 25 to 35 days

Battery capacity, charging port type, speed steps and the clip or stand design change the cost. For battery models the cell supplier and the transport test documents also need to be checked.
