| I'm not an electrical engineer... I'm trying to replace a noisy fan in a computer power supply. The fan in there is rated at 12v dc, 0.12(or something like that) amps. The replacement fan is 12v but 60mA. Would the replacement fan work without any (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Sure. The voltage would have to match (which it does) so no worries there. the current ought to be less to not cause any problems. The old fan is 120mA (there's 1000 milliamps (mA) in an amp), so the new one draws half as much power. It may (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
