A fan () has: a motor having a stator () and having a rotor () with at least one fan blade; at least one air inlet having an air entrance opening () for the inlet of air; at least one air outlet having an air exit opening () for the outlet of air; a circuit board () having at least one recess, which circuit board () is arranged in the region of the air inlet in such a way that air can enter the fan () through the recess, motor electronics () being arranged on the circuit board (). In a preferred embodiment, a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) resistor () is surface-mounted on a PC board portion () extending into the air passage, to thereby sense air temperature. This facilitates compact, automated construction.
