Test conditions and notes5

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 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
5 The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf)

FAQ

What type of power supply is the Mean Well LOP-500-12?

The LOP-500-12 is a 500W low profile open frame AC/DC power supply with a 12V DC output. It is designed in a compact 5 x 3 inch form factor and delivers up to 41.6A with 23CFM forced-air cooling (25A under convection).

What applications is the LOP-500-12 suited for?

This model is aimed at OEM and industrial equipment that needs a compact 12V, high power open frame supply. Its listed approvals also make it relevant for ITE, medical, household, and industrial applications where the required standards align with the product certifications.

How compact is the Mean Well LOP-500-12 for space-constrained designs?

The unit measures 127 x 76.2 x 30.5 mm, which corresponds to a 5 x 3 inch footprint with a low profile height. That makes it a strong option when a 500W supply is needed in equipment with limited internal space.

What input range does the LOP-500-12 support?

The LOP-500-12 supports a wide input range of 80 to 264VAC and also accepts 113 to 370VDC. It also includes active power factor correction, with power factor values listed above 0.95 at full load.

Can the LOP-500-12 operate in demanding temperature conditions?

Yes, this model is specified for operation from -40°C to +80°C, subject to the derating curve. That wide range makes it suitable for equipment used in both cold and high-ambient environments.

Does the LOP-500-12 include protection features?

Yes, the LOP-500-12 includes overload, over voltage, and over temperature protection. The product description also notes overload capability of 105 to 150% rated output power and 150% peak load for 3 seconds.

Is the Mean Well LOP-500-12 appropriate for medical or safety-focused equipment?

This model includes IEC60601-1 and ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 medical safety approvals, with Class I earth leakage current specified below 500μA at 264VAC. It also carries multiple safety certifications across ITE, household, and industrial standards.

What cooling and output capability should buyers know about for the LOP-500-12?

The product is rated for 300W under convection cooling and up to 500W with 23CFM forced-air cooling. It also includes a built-in 12V/0.5A output intended for an external fan.
