Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (12 V 100 W power supply); Ripple 450 mV (12 V 100 W power supply).

HCA-100L: Much like its counterpart, it has high efficiency and stability, but practical sustained output is about 70–80 W.

12 V 100 W power supply: The board heated noticeably at 7 A in open air; the author thinks a potted enclosure may improve cooling.

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.
