Most S360-12 units use a thermal switch or a simple transistor circuit to kick the cooling fan on only when the internal heatsink reaches ~45°C. Safety Warning
Using the schematic, you can troubleshoot known issues: s36012 power supply circuit diagram
Disclaimer: Multiple variants of the S36012 exist (e.g., original Hi-Link vs. generic Chinese clones). The diagram below represents the most common topology using a synchronous or asynchronous buck controller. S36012 Power Supply Circuit Diagram — Complete Guide
Always keep a high-resolution copy of the diagram handy on your workbench. And remember: when working with high currents, pay attention to your PCB traces and heat management—the diagram won't show you that, but your burned fingers will. Fan Control: Most S360-12 units use a thermal
