Test conditions and notes7
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance.
- 3. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristic for more details. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
- 4. 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)
- 5. This product is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications EU and China.(In the EU and China the LPF/NPF/XLG/XLC/XLN series are recommended.)
- 6. 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).
- 7. 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
What kinds of LED applications is the APC-12-700 designed for?
The Mean Well APC-12-700 suits small constant-current LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 700mA drive current. With 12.6W rated power and a 9-18V output range, it is intended for LED loads specified for 700mA rather than the lower 350mA class.
Is the APC-12-700 a better fit than the APC-12-350 when the LED load requires 700mA?
Yes. The APC-12-700 is the correct choice when the LED load is designed for 700mA constant current, while the APC-12-350 is intended for 350mA loads. The driver current rating should match the LED load requirement rather than being selected by wattage alone.
Can the APC-12-700 be used for indoor LED sign and lighting assemblies?
Yes. Indoor sign lighting and small LED assemblies are appropriate uses when the connected load is designed for 700mA constant-current operation and fits within the driver's 9-18V, 12.6W output capability.
Will the APC-12-700 operate from standard AC mains?
Yes. The listed AC input range is 90-264VAC, so the APC-12-700 can run from common 120V and 240V AC mains systems that fall within that range. That helps simplify use in general-purpose lighting installations.
Is the APC-12-700 intended for direct outdoor use?
No. The APC-12-700 has an IP42 rating, so it is better suited to indoor use or protected enclosures rather than direct exposure to weather. Its working temperature range is listed as -30°C to +70°C (with derating), but ingress protection still needs to be considered separately.
How does the APC-12-700 compare with other APC series drivers?
The APC-12-700 provides 12.6W at 700mA with a 9-18V output range, while the APC-12-350 provides the same 12.6W at 350mA with a 9-36V range. The main difference is the constant-current level and output voltage range for the LED load.
