Review conclusionWith reservationsNot recommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (HCF-200-12); Efficiency 80 % (5 V 200 W passive power supply).

HCF-200-12: It handles overload with headroom, but ripple and inductor heating draw some criticism.

5 V 200 W passive power supply: It overheats at full power; upgrading is uneconomical, and ripple is substantial.

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.
