Test conditions and notes7
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance.
  3. 3. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristic for more details. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
  4. 4. 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)
  5. 5. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
  6. 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. 7. 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 kinds of LED applications is the APC-12-700 designed for?

The Mean Well APC-12-700 suits small constant-current LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 700mA drive current. With 12.6W rated power and a 9-18V output range, it is intended for LED loads specified for 700mA rather than the lower 350mA class.

Is the APC-12-700 a better fit than the APC-12-350 when the LED load requires 700mA?

Yes. The APC-12-700 is the correct choice when the LED load is designed for 700mA constant current, while the APC-12-350 is intended for 350mA loads. The driver current rating should match the LED load requirement rather than being selected by wattage alone.

Can the APC-12-700 be used for indoor LED sign and lighting assemblies?

Yes. Indoor sign lighting and small LED assemblies are appropriate uses when the connected load is designed for 700mA constant-current operation and fits within the driver's 9-18V, 12.6W output capability.

Will the APC-12-700 operate from standard AC mains?

Yes. The listed AC input range is 90-264VAC, so the APC-12-700 can run from common 120V and 240V AC mains systems that fall within that range. That helps simplify use in general-purpose lighting installations.

Is the APC-12-700 intended for direct outdoor use?

No. The APC-12-700 has an IP42 rating, so it is better suited to indoor use or protected enclosures rather than direct exposure to weather. Its working temperature range is listed as -30°C to +70°C (with derating), but ingress protection still needs to be considered separately.

How does the APC-12-700 compare with other APC series drivers?

The APC-12-700 provides 12.6W at 700mA with a 9-18V output range, while the APC-12-350 provides the same 12.6W at 350mA with a 9-36V range. The main difference is the constant-current level and output voltage range for the LED load.
