Overview

APC-8E-700 is the model of this series: rated current 700mA, rated power 7.7W, typical efficiency 77.5%.

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 type of LED application is the Mean Well APC-8E-700 designed for?

The APC-8E-700 is a constant current LED power supply designed for LED lighting and moving sign applications. It is intended for systems that require a 700mA rated output rather than a constant voltage supply.

What are the main electrical specifications of the APC-8E-700?

This model is rated at 7.7W with a 700mA output current and a 6 to 11V operating voltage range. It accepts an AC input range of 180 to 264VAC and can also operate from 254 to 370VDC.

Does the APC-8E-700 support dimming control?

No, the datasheet lists no dimming function for this model. It is a non-dimmable constant current LED driver intended for applications where fixed-output operation is required.

Is the APC-8E-700 suitable for demanding environmental conditions?

The APC-8E-700 has an IP42 design and a working temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, subject to the derating curve. That makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor or protected-use LED applications, provided the environmental exposure matches its IP rating.

What protection features are built into the APC-8E-700?

This model includes short circuit protection. Its protection mode is hiccup operation with auto-recovery, helping the unit return to normal operation after the fault condition is removed.

How compact is the Mean Well APC-8E-700?

The APC-8E-700 is a compact unit measuring 60 x 30 x 23.5 mm and weighing 0.05 kg. Its small form factor makes it practical for space-constrained LED power supply applications.

What standards and warranty apply to the APC-8E-700?

The APC-8E-700 is approved to BS EN/EN 62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004, with design reference to UL8750 and CSA C22.2 No.250.0-08. The datasheet does not state a warranty period.
