I know the HM & HN series had problems spanning 4 years, but we are 4 years out of that and I'd like to know if the have once again shown themselves worthy of consideration. I understand Mouser dropped them for a time also. Prior to my joining here.
If you have used them in -recent- work, and have found them either sound once again or still having problems, I'd like your feedback.
I'm looking for actual cases, not speculations, not datasheet comparisons, nor hearsay.
I've seen some recent posts suggesting the use of HN for motherboards, as well as HM's. 2007 seems to be the mark point where cases dribbled down to nothing with a few recent cases coming from systems built in the pre-2007 era. Since then, its much older systems (door stops) built in the 2001-2005 era that are just now showing up.
I've used the HZ's in VRM out, with positive, solid results. The ratings on the HN's indicate they would do fine in an environment where Ruby MCZ's would be used, also. Their ratings are rather similar from what I can see.
The HM's seem to be on a par with Ruby MBZ and perhaps a touch above Panny FM's?
- Are HM/HN good for computer PSU's replacement and upgrades?
- How about Computer LCD displays or Flat panel TV's?
Mouser seems to be the largest stocker of them at the moment.
HZ - 35 listed - 21 stocked - 13 in stock - 8 on order
HN - 57 listed - 37 stocked - 27 in stock - 10 on order
HM - 58 listed - 45 stocked - 37 in stock - 8 on order
I find them oddly missing from some member's "comparison lists" over the past 18 months, but now are trickling back in here and there in various threads.
Thoughts? Comments?
