Overview

PLM-12E-700 is the model of this series: rated current 0.7A, rated power 12.6W, typical efficiency 83%.

PLM-12 is a 12W economical AC/DC LED power supply series. Incorporating a built-in active PFC design, PLM-12 provides a high Power Factor value greater than 0.9. In addition, with the low no load power consumption below 0.5W, and the setup time less than 500ms, PLM-12 is complied with the ErP regulation required by European Union for lighting fixtures. PLM-12 is a class Ⅱ(without FG pin) power unit housed with the UL 94V-0 rated flame retardant plastic case. The I /O terminals are designed with screw-less clamp style terminal block that greatly simplifies the wiring installation. Two types of models with different input voltage range are offered: PLM-12 series, which operates from 110~295VAC, and PLM-12E series, which operates from 180~295VAC.These two series are both constant current output design, supplying models with the current of 350mA, 500mA, 700mA and 1050mA, respectively.

Test conditions and notes7

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. Please see "AC input voltage drop vs. output current characteristics"table.
4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
5. Constant current operation region is within 60% ~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.
6. 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.
7. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.

FAQ

What type of LED driver is the Mean Well PLM-12E-700?

The PLM-12E-700 is a constant current LED driver rated for 700mA output. It is designed for LED applications that require a fixed current rather than a fixed voltage supply. This model is part of Mean Well's PLM series and includes built-in active PFC.

What output level does the PLM-12E-700 provide?

This model is rated at 12.6W with a nominal output voltage of 22V and a rated output current of 700mA. Those published ratings make it suitable for LED loads designed around a 700mA constant current driver. It is not a dimmable model.

Does the PLM-12E-700 support dimming control?

No, the PLM-12E-700 does not include a dimming control function. It is intended for applications where a non-dimming constant current driver is acceptable. Buyers needing adjustable light output should compare it with dimmable alternatives instead.

What input range is supported on the PLM-12E-700?

The product data identifies this as the E type, which uses an AC input range of 180 to 295VAC. That makes it appropriate for higher-voltage mains environments within that stated range. It also supports the corresponding DC input range shown in the product description.

Is the PLM-12E-700 suitable for enclosed or indoor lighting products?

The PLM-12E-700 uses a fully isolated plastic case with an IP30 design and cooling by free air convection. Those characteristics make it better aligned with protected indoor equipment rather than exposed wet-location use. Its compact 0.126 kg weight can also help in space-conscious fixture designs.

What operating temperature range does the PLM-12E-700 support?

This model is rated for operation from -30°C to 50°C. That range supports use across many indoor commercial and industrial lighting environments, provided the surrounding conditions stay within specification. Thermal conditions still matter because the unit relies on free air convection for cooling.

What protection and warranty information is listed for the PLM-12E-700?

The published product information lists short circuit protection for this model. Mean Well also specifies a 2-year warranty period. These details support its positioning as a cost-effective, reliable constant current LED driver.
