Thanks @rubber_jonnie - have ordered 3x of them for my spectrum collection.
To set your mind at rest even further I had mine run most of yesterday afternoon to early evening, so probably a good 5 hours, and the case was completely cool to the touch by the time I switched it off.
I know some folks have said it introduces switching noise, but I see no evidence of that at all. They are a fantastic replacement for the 7805 IMHO.

Oooh nice. Not sure I have the budget this month as I have a fair bit on the go, and have a fair bit on order. We'll see.

Loving mine :D Started by playing the classics I remembered from playing on my cousins back in the day but have been exploring more of the vast library that I've never played

Did you order one, I just went to have a look and they are out of stock again, more expected June 2025. Looks like they are selling well.
