If you are shopping for Mean Well supplies, TRC

https://www.trcelectronics.com/mean-well <https://www.trcelectronics.com/mean-well>

is a good place to shop. They are a (if not the) factory direct US distributor for the
brand. That should eliminate the risk of getting one labeled Meen Well or Men Well or ….
That sort of thing is pretty common on eBay.

At least on the stuff I’ve shopped for, their prices are pretty good. They deliver next 
day on the cheap. Of course that’s probably because they are about 2 hours down the
road from here :)
