Hello,
I'm planning to buy the KC868-AP (16-channel PWM dimmer) and I want to make sure I size my LED strips correctly. I've found different values on your website and forum, so could you please confirm the limits for the CURRENT hardware version?
1. Max continuous current per PWM channel: is it 3A (as on the product page) or 10A (MOSFET, as mentioned on the forum in 2025)? What is the recommended safe continuous current per channel?
2. The board has two "12V/24V" input terminals, each feeding 8 PWM channels. What is the max continuous current for each of these terminals (total for its group of 8 channels)?
3. Max total current for the whole board (all 16 channels at 100% at the same time)?
4. Does the board need extra cooling at high load, or should I derate the current?
5. Which hardware version is currently shipped, and are there any differences from older versions?
My setup: 24V DC, single-color LED strips, approx. [50W] W per channel, [400] W total.
Thank you!
