Review conclusionNot recommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Test current 43.5 A (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Under load 4.99 V (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling); Efficiency 80 % (5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling).

5 V 40 A power supply (200 W), passive cooling: Cannot sustain its rated 200 W: major components overheat at full load, and ripple is high.

HCF-200-12: Generally performs well, but ripple and inductor and shunt heating drew some criticism.

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.
