Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 3. 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)
- 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
- 6. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)

FAQ
What kinds of LED applications is the APC-25-500 designed for?
The Mean Well APC-25-500 is designed for constant-current LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 500mA drive current. With 25.2W rated power, it is a fit for LED loads specified for 500mA rather than the lower 350mA or higher 700mA classes.
Is the APC-25-500 a good fit for 500mA LED loads?
Yes. The APC-25-500 is built as a 500mA constant-current driver, so it should be matched to LED loads designed for that current level. The connected load also needs to stay within the driver's output capability and rated power.
Can the APC-25-500 be used for indoor LED sign and lighting assemblies?
Yes. The product suits LED lighting and moving sign applications, so indoor sign lighting and other constant-current LED assemblies are suitable uses when the load is designed for 500mA operation and fits within the driver's electrical range.
Will the APC-25-500 operate from standard AC mains?
Yes. The listed AC input range is 90-264VAC, so the APC-25-500 can run from common 120V and 240V AC mains systems within that range. That helps standardize the same driver across multiple installation environments.
Is the APC-25-500 intended for direct outdoor use?
No. The APC-25-500 is rated IP42, so it is better suited to indoor use or protected enclosures rather than direct exposure to weather. Its listed working temperature is -30°C to +70°C (refer to the derating curve), but ingress protection still needs to be considered separately.
How does the APC-25-500 compare with other APC series drivers?
The APC-25-500 provides 25.2W at 500mA, while the APC-25-350 and APC-25-700 provide the same wattage class at 350mA and 700mA. The main decision point is choosing the driver current that matches the LED load, then confirming the required output power margin.
