Pin Configuration

  • 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block Pinout Documentation
  • The 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block is a high-performance cooling solution for temperature-critical applications. This documentation provides a comprehensive overview of the pins on the water cooling block, their functions, and how to connect them.
  • Pinout Structure:
  • The water cooling block has a total of 6 pins, arranged in two rows of 3 pins each. The pins are labeled as follows:
  • Row 1:
  • 1. Pin 1: GND (Ground)
  • Function: Provides a common ground connection for the cooling block.
  • Connection: Connect to the negative terminal of the power supply or a common ground point on the motherboard.
  • 2. Pin 2: Vin (Voltage In)
  • Function: Supplies power to the cooling block's internal components (e.g., temperature sensors, pump, etc.).
  • Connection: Connect to a suitable power source (e.g., 12V, 3A) from the power supply or a compatible voltage regulator.
  • 3. Pin 3: Tach (Tachometer)
  • Function: Outputs the pump's rotational speed signal, typically used for monitoring and control purposes.
  • Connection: Connect to a tachometer input on a fan controller, motherboard, or other compatible devices.
  • Row 2:
  • 1. Pin 4: Temp (Temperature)
  • Function: Outputs an analog signal representing the temperature of the cooling block, typically measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
  • Connection: Connect to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or a temperature sensor input on a compatible device (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or motherboard).
  • 2. Pin 5: Ctrl (Control)
  • Function: Enables control signals for the pump, allowing for speed adjustment or on/off control.
  • Connection: Connect to a control output on a compatible device (e.g., fan controller, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi).
  • 3. Pin 6: NC (No Connection)
  • Function: Not connected internally; reserved for future use or customization.
  • Connection: No connection required; can be left unconnected or used for custom applications.
  • Important Connection Considerations:
  • Ensure proper polarity when connecting power to the Vin pin (Pin 2).
  • Use suitable wiring and connectors to prevent voltage drops and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Verify the compatibility of connected devices with the cooling block's pinout and voltage requirements.
  • Consult the documentation of connected devices for specific connection guidelines and troubleshooting information.
  • By following this pinout documentation, you can correctly connect and integrate the 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block into your setup, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
