The only difference is size.... You can get a 100watt brick, half brick and quarter brick....



Just check out the datasheets of each to see if a heatsink is required.... If you have room to use a half brick but the brick needs a heat sink, then you need more room...

So what is it you really need to know...

ie... A 75w brick can supply 24V@ 3A... 12v @ 6A... or 5V @ 12A.... ( approx amps )

So if you want a brick to give 12v @ 2A then you may not need a heatsink.. but the expense of the brick is more..

A 24W brick will supply 2A but may need a heatsink..... It's up to you to design..
