Review conclusionRecommendedRecommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (MN-100W12V); Ripple 150 mV (MN-100W12V); Efficiency 84.5 % (MN-100W12V); Protection 8.3 A (HCA-100L); Temperature rise 112 °C (HCA-100L).

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

MN-100W12V: Despite a counterfeit input capacitor, it has low ripple, good construction, and delivers its rated power and more.

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.
