It works
It works as expected. I guess this is either a 5 or 1 star item - LOL! This one is a 5 star.

Nice
Work like it should.

Train control
So much better and far cheaper than starter controllers in train sets.

Great 12V controller for the money
The one I received was a moderately simple circuit based on a 555 timer controlling a TO220 RU7088R 6mOhm N-channel FET with a "SBR40100" TO220 flyback diode. Using a radiator fan from a car that drew 11.5A @ 13V, the unit saw about 14C temp rise on the PCB and 9 degree C temp rise on the FET heatsink after about 20 minutes of use at 90% duty cycle, as measured with a thermal camera. Somewhat surprisingly, the cheap no-name 7812 voltage regulator was one of the hottest components on the board - but still not toooooooo bad. (I'm sure it would be worse with higher than 13 volt supply) Not suprisingly, the obviously cheap PCB traces were one of the hottest parts of the board with 11+Amps going through it. While the ratings on the FET are not bad (70V / 80A) I would not recommend going even close to that because the flyback diode is only rated for 20A as one leg of the diode is used for reverse polarity protection on wiring. I scoped it and ran a little torture testing on this piece because I wanted to make sure it wasn't a total piece that was going to blow up instantly. The edges were being controlled softly enough that the bounces from this particular fan were sending the voltage no higher than about 16V (on 13V supply). The extent of flyback is going to be determined by the inductance of whatever motor you're playing with so it's hard to say what the true limits of this piece are. Personally, I'd keep the loads at/under 24V supply. If using a really heavy inductive load, I might add some extra filter caps on the motor output. Realistically, I'd say this unit could easily handle 15A switching with nothing more than a fuse change at 12V with moderately inductive motor loads as long as the PCB was beefed up with additional wires to share the current through the motor control path. The issues observed at 13V/11A are only going to get worse using this device further beyond its ratings.

Great for Halloween projects
Excellent product. I use to control windshield wiper motor speed on Halloween projects.

Part of our DC exhaust fan system
We try to buy from the Ma and Pa places on here. Being disabled . We need to be price conscious. At "The Mother In Laws Place" It is an off-grid cabin, we run DC on a lot of things . We see no need to use the inverter 24/7. just so you can turn on a light when you come home . We use LED bulbs in ceiling mount fixtures that are marked 12-volt DC only. These are controlled by controller with a FOB remote. The controller is board mounted on our PV control center . We use a few of the controllers for different rooms to control each ceiling light . We also run the kitchen stove exhaust fan with DC . The fresh air intake system for combustion is DC . These are fused in our DC only fuse center . This fuse center is controlled by a service disconnect at the DC master box . We also run two AC fuse boxes on our PV board . One protects various AC 110 volt circuits in the cabin , garage and sauna . The other protects 220 volt circuits from the aux gen set and to the split ac/heat pump and the aux battery charger for when the PV and hopefully soon to be wind generated power are not enough to keep up. We run 8 - 6volt Rolls batteries tied by Buss bars . They are temperature and voltage monitored on the PV board and by the inverter unit. The power is inverted by a Renogy 3000 . It also has a multi stage charger built it with flow through capability . These are almost all protected by Breakers purchased here . We have a remote shallow well system that we use a soft start unit on . It lessens the instant draw on the system . It is all about power management. This is a semi detailed , general description of some of the off grid power systems we use . I am going to add this review to each one of the parts bought on here .

Smooth, sturdy, and it worked.
The potentiometer is smooth, and the board mounted easily. Tested with a 12v DC battery system to control 120mm fans, rough vibration, and excessive heat: despite my abusive treatment, it has held up well. Any speed controller will get a bit warm during use, but this one has adequate heatsinks for it. The soldered side of the board has your inputs and outputs labelled; mine was a bit faded but still readable. Dial is easy to grip for large hands.

Doesn't work
No PWM - guessing IGBT is shorted, as it puts out full voltage but doesn't vary the 'average' with movement of the knob. IF they would have tested it, they would know this - full 'ON' is NOT working as designed...... I still need one, but they can't provide a schematic or say if I can use it with a common ground, so I haven't been able to re-order yet. These are really simple questions if you're a EE or built the circuit - guessing they copied one and don't really know how it works ?? Yes, I do - I am a EE and have built my own - wanted a 'production' level PCB, but may have to make my own again.......

Me gustaria que hubiera mas detalles y especificaciones tecnicas p.ejem frequencia PWM.

Plugged it into my circuit and and it worked just fine. No issues.

Great little speed controller works very well controlling a 12volt fan in my car. Good speed range and stepless control

J'ai acheté ce variateur pour me permettre de diminuer la vitesse de rotation de mon Proxxon Micromot 60 (12V). Le variateur du micromot a un fonctionnement de base de 5000 à 20000 trs/Min. En connectant l'outil sur ce régulateur, on peut tourner à moins de 5000, c'est idéal dans mon cas (maquettes plastiques) pour éviter toute surchauffe du plastique. Moyennant une bidouille pour brancher la prise du Proxxon, tout fonctionne. J'ai ajouté le transfo suivant pour mon usage : https://www.amazon.fr/Adaptateur-Alimentation-12V-5A-Transformateurs/dp/B07YWSDK87

ho preso questo dimmer per regolare la luminosità dei led devo dire che fa il suo lavoro egregiamente. è arrivato molto velocemente e ben impacchettato, devo dire che sembra di ottima fattura e robusto.
