Test conditions and notes5
- 1. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
- 2. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 3. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 4. 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).
- 5. 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
Can I use the PCD-40-1400B for a 1400mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the downlight is designed for constant current operation at 1400mA and its LED load falls within the 17-29V constant current range. This driver provides constant current, not constant voltage, so it needs a fixture built for CC input. Its rated output power is 40.6W.
Is the PCD-40-1400B a good fit for compact signage LED modules?
It can be used for signage LED modules when the module assembly requires 1400mA constant current and operates within 17-29V. That makes it more suitable for constant current signage assemblies than for constant voltage sign modules. It is also TRIAC dimmable for systems that use TRIAC dimming.
Can this model power a small LED array with a lower forward voltage than 30V?
Yes, this driver is built for constant current LED arrays that operate from 17V to 29V at 1400mA. That makes it relevant for compact arrays that need higher current and a lower voltage range than some other 40W siblings. The load also needs to stay within the 40.6W power rating.
What should I check before pairing the PCD-40-1400B with an LED load?
The LED load should require 1400mA constant current, and its total forward voltage should be within the 17-29V constant current range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so there is no single fixed LED count for this driver. If the load needs a constant voltage supply, this model is not compatible.
Is the PCD-40-1400B intended for indoor operation only?
Its IP42-rated casing points to indoor use or other locations where limited ingress protection is acceptable. It is not described as a sealed outdoor driver. The operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C.
How does the PCD-40-1400B compare with nearby 1400mA models in the PCD series?
This datasheet covers the PCD-40 series, in which the PCD-40-1400B is the only 1400mA model, at 17-29V and 40.6W. In the same 40W class, the current alternatives are PCD-40-1050B at 22-38V and 39.9W, PCD-40-1750B at 13-23V and 40.25W, PCD-40-700B at 34-57V and 39.9W, PCD-40-500B at 45-80V and 40W, and PCD-40-350B at 70-108V and 37.8W. This places the PCD-40-1400B between the 1050mA and 1750mA models of the series.
