The ' A ' version requires lower drive current to get it to fully turn on. If you scope the regulator you have in there now you will see that the oscillation is choked and starves off. Hard to believe, but I have been there already. This also true of the Panasonic/Quasar sets that use STK730-020A. Got to have the A or it will run too hot and fail.
