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 in the 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 is the APC-16-350 typically used for?
The Mean Well APC-16-350 is typically used as a constant-current driver for LED loads that need a 350mA drive current. With 16.8W rated power and a 12-48V output voltage range, it suits 350mA LED strings across a wide range of forward voltages. Note that the datasheet states it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.
Is the APC-16-350 a good fit for 350mA LED loads that need more headroom than the APC-12-350?
The APC-12-350 is not covered by this datasheet, so check its own specifications for a direct comparison. The APC-16-350 delivers a rated 350mA over a 12-48V output range with 16.8W rated power, so it fits 350mA LED loads that need up to that voltage and power.
Can the APC-16-350 be used for indoor LED lighting or sign projects?
Yes. The APC-16-350 is suitable for indoor LED lighting and sign assemblies that are designed for 350mA constant-current operation and fit within the driver's 12-48V, 16.8W rating. It is approved to UL8750, among other safety standards, but the datasheet notes it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.
Will the APC-16-350 run on common AC mains supplies?
Yes. The specified input range is 90-264VAC (47-63Hz), so the APC-16-350 can operate from common 120V and 240V mains systems within that range. That helps standardize the same driver across a variety of installation environments.
Is the APC-16-350 suitable for exposed outdoor installation?
No. The APC-16-350 is rated IP42, which means it should generally be used indoors or inside a protective enclosure rather than in direct outdoor exposure. Its listed working temperature is -30°C to +70°C (refer to the derating curve), but ingress protection remains limited.
How does the APC-16-350 compare with APC-12-350 and APC-12-700?
The APC-16-350 provides 16.8W at 350mA over a 12-48V output range. The APC-12-350 and APC-12-700 are not covered by this datasheet, so check their own specifications; within the APC-16 series, the APC-16-700 offers the same 16.8W at 700mA over 9-24V. Matching the driver current to the LED requirement is the key selection rule.
