Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Current 12.5 A (HCF-150-12); Efficiency 84 % (PTA-150W-12V).

HCF-150-12: The PSU showed low ripple and good thermal headroom, even under overload.

PTA-150W-12V: A budget PSU with acceptable temperature and efficiency, but high low-frequency ripple and insufficient input capacitance.

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.
