Over 15 years experience of providing support of MEAN WELL Power Supplies
Overview
APC-16E-700 is the model of this series: rated current 700mA, rated power 16.8W, typical efficiency 82%.
APC-16E series is one 16W AC/DC constant current mode single output LED power supply. It accepts input 180~264VAC and provides two models with different output current, 350mA and 700mA, respectively, that the small wattage LED applications employ the most frequently. Exploiting Class Ⅱ design (without FG pin) and adopting the 94V-0 flame retardant plastic enclosure, APC-16E ideally fits the entry-level LED applications.

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 power supply is the Mean Well APC-16E-700?
The APC-16E-700 is a constant current LED power supply rated at 700mA. It suits LED lighting and moving sign applications, with a maximum output power of 16.8W over a DC output voltage range of 9~24V.
Is the APC-16E-700 dimmable?
The datasheet does not list any dimming function for this model. It is specified as a fixed 700mA constant current output for applications that do not need adjustable light output.
Where is the APC-16E-700 typically used?
The APC-16E-700 suits LED lighting and moving sign applications. Its compact 77 x 40 x 29 mm size, IP42 rating and constant current output make it suitable for low-power commercial LED use cases; Mean Well notes it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU.
Can the APC-16E-700 be used in demanding temperature conditions?
This model has a working temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. That makes it suitable for environments where ambient temperatures vary significantly, provided the application stays within the product's rated operating conditions.
What protection and reliability features does the APC-16E-700 include?
The APC-16E-700 has over voltage protection at 27.6~33.5V, which shuts off the output voltage with clamping by a zener diode. It has a 3.75KVAC input-to-output withstand voltage and an MTBF of 6106.2K hours min. (Telcordia SR-332) to support reliable operation.
What standards and enclosure characteristics does this model offer?
The APC-16E-700 has an IP42 rating and is approved to BS EN/EN 62368-1. It complies with BS EN/EN55032, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3 for EMC emission and BS EN/EN55035 and EN61000-4-2,3,4,5,6,8,11 for immunity (light industry level).
