Test conditions and notes8
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 5. The power supply is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)
- 6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 7. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU.(In the EU the LPF/NPF/XLG series are recommended.)
- 8. For any application note and IP water proof function installation caution, please refer our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf

FAQ
What type of LED power supply is the Mean Well APC-16E-350?
The APC-16E-350 is a constant current LED power supply rated at 350mA. It delivers up to 16.8W over a 12~48V DC output range and suits LED lighting and moving sign applications where a fixed current driver is required.
What is the output capability of the APC-16E-350?
This model is rated for 350mA output current over a DC voltage range of 12~48V. Its power rating is 16.8W, making it suitable for lower-power constant current LED loads within that operating range.
Is the Mean Well APC-16E-350 dimmable?
The datasheet for the APC-16E-350 does not list any dimming function. It is specified as a fixed 350mA constant current driver for applications that do not need adjustable light output.
Where is the APC-16E-350 typically used?
The APC-16E-350 suits LED lighting and moving sign projects that need a compact constant current driver with IP42 protection. Note that Mean Well states it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU, where the LPF/NPF/XLG series are recommended.
Can the APC-16E-350 be used in demanding temperature conditions?
The specified working temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. That makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor operating environments where temperature variation is a factor.
What protection and safety features does this model include?
The APC-16E-350 has over voltage protection at 50.4~60V; the protection shuts off the output voltage, with clamping by a zener diode. It is approved to BS EN/EN 62368-1 and has a 3.75KVAC input-to-output withstand voltage.
How well protected is the enclosure on this power supply?
This model has an IP42 rating. That provides basic enclosure protection in a compact 77 x 40 x 29 mm form factor for applications where space is limited.
What are the size and warranty for the APC-16E-350?
The unit measures 77 x 40 x 29 mm and weighs approximately 0.1 kg. The datasheet does not state a warranty period; it lists an MTBF of 6106.2K hours min. (Telcordia SR-332) and 1014.0K hours min. (MIL-HDBK-217F, 25°C).
