Review conclusionWith reservationsRecommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (12 V 8.3 A perforated power supply); No load 0.65 W (12 V 8.3 A perforated power supply).

12 V 8.3 A perforated power supply: A decent conventional supply overall, though its protection threshold is high and ripple could be lower.

HCA-100: High efficiency, low ripple and excellent voltage stability; recommended with practical output limited to 70–80 W.
