Overview

APC-8E-350 is the model of this series: rated current 350mA, rated power 8.05W, typical efficiency 80.5%.

APC-8E series is one 8W AC/DC constant current mode single output LED power supply. It accepts input 180~264VAC and provides four models with different output current, 250mA,350mA, 500mA and 700mA, respectively, that the small wattage LED applications employ the most frequently. Exploting Class II design (without FG pin) and adopting the 94V-0 flame retardant plastic enclosure, APC-8E 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
4. Constant current operation region is within 50% ~100% rated output voltage. This is the suitable operation region for LED related applications, but please reconfirm special electrical requirements for some specific system design.
5. When applying DC voltage for input, please connect the brown input wire to the positive side whereas blue input wire to the negative side.
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 is the Mean Well APC-8E-350 designed for?

The APC-8E-350 is a constant current LED power supply designed for LED lighting and moving sign applications. This model delivers 350mA output and is intended for low-power applications with an 8.05W rated power.

Is the APC-8E-350 a dimmable LED driver?

No. The datasheet lists no dimming control function for this model, so it is suited to applications where fixed-output constant current operation is required. If dimming is needed, a different driver series would be more appropriate.

What are the key electrical specifications of this model?

The APC-8E-350 is rated at 8.05W with a 350mA output current and an 11 to 23V operating voltage range. It accepts an input range of 180 to 264VAC or 254 to 370VDC, which makes it suitable for standard AC supply environments within that range.

What protection features does the APC-8E-350 include?

This model includes short circuit protection. It uses hiccup mode and recovers automatically, helping the unit protect itself and resume normal operation after the fault condition is removed.

Can this power supply be used in harsh or outdoor environments?

The APC-8E-350 has an IP42 design, so it offers limited protection against solid objects and dripping water but is not a fully waterproof unit. It is generally better suited to indoor or protected environments rather than exposed outdoor locations.

What operating temperature range can this unit handle?

The specified working temperature range is -30°C to +70°C, subject to the output derating curve. That gives it a broad operating window for many commercial and industrial LED applications, provided the installation environment stays within specification.

How do I know if this driver is compatible with my LED application?

This model is intended for constant current applications that require 350mA output. It is best matched to LED loads whose electrical requirements fit within this driver's 8.05W power rating and 11 to 23V operating voltage range.

Is the APC-8E-350 a compact power supply?

Yes. The housing measures 60 x 30 x 23.5mm, making it a compact option for space-conscious LED applications. It also weighs approximately 0.05kg, which helps where low overall assembly weight matters.
