What 5V LED loads can the APV-25-5 drive?

The APV-25-5 outputs 5V at 3.5A for a maximum of 17.5W. It suits larger 5V addressable LED strip installations, multi-segment 5V pixel LED displays, and 5V LED panel boards where the total load is at or below 17.5W.

How does the APV-25-5 compare to the APV-16-5 and APV-35-5 at 5V output?

All three output 5V from 90–264VAC. The APV-16-5 provides 13W at 2.6A in a 77.0 × 40.0 × 29.0 mm housing. The APV-25-5 provides 17.5W at 3.5A in a 84.0 × 57.0 × 29.5 mm enclosure. The APV-35-5 provides 25W at 5A in the same 84.0 × 57.0 × 29.5 mm housing. Choose based on total wattage required.

How long a 5V LED strip can the APV-25-5 support?

The APV-25-5 delivers 17.5W at 5V. At a strip rated 5 W/m, that supports approximately 3.5 m. Divide 17.5W by your strip's rated power per meter to find your specific limit, and check your strip's rated power per meter before specifying.

Is the APV-25-5 suitable for indoor retail environments?

Yes. The APV-25-5 operates from -30°C to +70°C and is rated IP42, making it appropriate for enclosed indoor retail and commercial settings. Its IP42 rating means it is not suitable for outdoor, wet, or splash-exposed locations without additional enclosure protection.
