Description
APC-8 series is one 8W AC/DC constant current mode single output LED power supply. It accepts the full range input 90~264VAC and provides four models with different output currents, 250mA, 350mA, 500m, and 700mA, respectively, that the small-wattage LED applications employ the most frequently. Exploiting Class II design (without F pin) and adopting the 94V-0 flame retardant plastic enclosure, APC-8 ideally fits entry-level LED applications.

NOTE | 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details. 4. Constant current operation region is within 50% ~100% rated output voltage. This is the suitable operation region for LED-related applications, but please reconfirm special electrical requirements for some specific system designs. 5. When applying DC voltage for input, please connect the brown input wire to the positive side whereas the blue input wire to the negative side. 6. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU. (In the EU the LPF/NPF/XLG series are recommended.) 7. The model certified for CCC(GB19510.14, GB19510.1, GB17743 and GB17625.1) is an optional model . Please contact MEAN WELL for details. 8. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitudes higher than 2000m(6500ft). 9. For any application note and IP waterproof function installation caution, please refer to our user manual before using. https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/LED_EN.pdf ※ Product Liability Disclaimer: For detailed information, please refer to https://www.meanwell.com/serviceDisclaimer.aspx |
