Test conditions and notes8
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Please see "AC input voltage drop vs. output current characteristics" table.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage, please check the static characteristic for more details.
  5. 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. 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. 7. Direct connecting to LEDs is suggested, but is not suitable for using additional drivers.
  8. 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.
