Hello purchasing37,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.

The manufacture’s website lists 2 fans with this number, as a 50Hz & 60Hz version.

Here is the link to the 60Hz version:

[15038PB-B3L-CP-U0\_60Hz | NMB Technologies](https://nmbtc.com/parts/15038pb-b3l-cp-u0_60hz/)

Both the 50Hz & 60Hz fans have an ingress protection of IP69K, so they should be able to operate in wet conditions.
