Test conditions and notes8
- 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. Please see "AC input voltage drop vs. output current characteristics" table.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 5. Constant current operation region is within 60% ~100% rated output voltage. This is the suitable operation region for LED related applications, but please reconfirm special electrical requirements for some specific system design.
- 6. 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)
- 7. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
- 8. The models certified by CCC (GB/T19510.1, GB/T19510.213, GB/T 17743 and GB17625.1) are optional models. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.

FAQ
Can I use the PLM-12-1050 for a 1050mA LED downlight?
Yes, if the downlight is designed for constant current operation at 1050mA and its LED load falls within the 7-12V constant current range. This is a 12.6W constant current driver, so it is intended for LED loads that match that current requirement rather than constant voltage products.
Is the PLM-12-1050 suitable for LED signage modules?
It can be suitable for signage modules that require 1050mA constant current and operate within the 7-12V CC range. It is not the right match for constant voltage signage modules because this model regulates current, not fixed output voltage.
Can this driver run a small high-current LED array?
Yes, this model is suited to small LED arrays built for 1050mA constant current as long as the total forward voltage stays within 7-12V. With a 12.6W rating, it fits lower-voltage constant current arrays rather than larger higher-voltage assemblies.
How do I know if the PLM-12-1050 is compatible with my LEDs?
Check that your LEDs are specified for 1050mA constant current and that their combined forward voltage falls within the 7-12V CC output range. The number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage, so there is no fixed LED count for this driver.
Is the PLM-12-1050 appropriate for cold or warm operating areas?
It is rated for operation from -30°C to +50°C, so it covers a fairly wide ambient range. The driver is a Class II design rated IP30, so it is meant for dry, protected locations and enclosure requirements should be considered for the final environment.
