36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply or TMP-30124C Two models side by side: measurements taken by the author in their reviews, and their conclusions. The better value in each row is highlighted.
In brief: Based on review measurements: Ripple: TMP-30124C (300 mV vs. 600); No load: 36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply (0.5 W vs. 2); Temperature rise: TMP-30124C (95 °C vs. 138).
Model 36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply 2026 Read review → TMP-30124C Traco Power · 2019 Read review → Voltage, V 12 24 Current, A 3 1.25 Power, W 36 30 Ripple, mV 600 300 No load, W 0.5 2 Protection, A 3.7 3.6 Temperature rise, °C 138 95 Review conclusion With reservations Recommended
Only in one review: In test 85 W (TMP-30124C); Test current 2.5 A (36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply); Efficiency 85 % (TMP-30124C).
36 W, 12 V 3 A power supply: Works for low-power, undemanding loads, but the author says he would not buy it himself.
TMP-30124C: An excellent supply that handles overloads well and keeps ripple within spec; drawbacks are high idle draw and a fuse the author could not find.
Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
