Review conclusionRecommendedRecommended

Only in one review: In test 70 W (Sanmim GPA40B); Under load 12.083 V (Sanmim GPA40B); No load 0.3 W (Sanmim GPA40B).

5 V 8 A power supply (40 W): A very good unit that handles 10 A with low ripple, though the inductor overheats under sustained load.

Sanmim GPA40B: It regulates voltage excellently and handles a sustained 150% load, though it costs more than budget models.

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.
