Review conclusionNot recommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Ripple 250 mV (AD-12-2A); Efficiency 76 % (AD-12-2A); No load 0.5 W (AD-12-2A).

24 V 2 A power supply (adapter, budget version): The stripped-down design overheats its transformer at 1.5 A; the author estimates sustained output at about 1 A.

AD-12-2A: It can run continuously at 2 A, but the output diode gets hot; the author recommends 1.7–1.8 A instead.

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.
