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-16-700 typically used for?
The Mean Well APC-16-700 is typically used as a constant-current driver for LED loads that need a 700mA drive current. With 16.8W rated power and a 9-24V output voltage range, it is intended for 700mA LED loads within that voltage and power rating. Note that the datasheet states it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.
Is the APC-16-700 a good fit for 700mA LED loads that need more power than the APC-12-700?
The APC-12-700 is not covered by this datasheet, so check its own specifications for a direct comparison. The APC-16-700 is built for 700mA constant-current operation over a 9-24V output range with 16.8W rated power, so it fits 700mA LED loads that need up to that voltage and power.
Can the APC-16-700 be used for indoor LED lighting or sign assemblies?
Yes. The APC-16-700 is suitable for indoor LED lighting and sign assemblies that are designed for 700mA constant-current operation and fit within the driver's 9-24V, 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-16-700 run on standard AC mains input?
Yes. The specified input range is 90-264VAC (47-63Hz), so the APC-16-700 can operate from common 120V and 240V AC mains systems within that range. That makes it practical for a wide range of lighting installations.
Is the APC-16-700 suitable for exposed outdoor installation?
No. The APC-16-700 is rated IP42, so 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-16-700 compare with other APC models?
The APC-16-700 provides 16.8W at 700mA over a 9-24V output range, while the APC-16-350 provides the same 16.8W at 350mA over 12-48V. Other APC models are not covered by this datasheet. The main decision point is matching the LED load to the correct constant-current level and voltage range.
