Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristic for more details.
- 3. 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)
- 4. 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).
- 5. 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
- 6. 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.)

FAQ
What is the APC-35-500 typically used for?
The Mean Well APC-35-500 is typically used for constant-current LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 500mA drive current. With 35W rated power and a 25-70V DC output voltage range, it fits 500mA LED loads whose forward voltage falls within that range.
Is the APC-35-500 a good fit for 500mA LED loads?
Yes. The APC-35-500 is built as a constant-current LED driver rated at 500mA, so it should be paired with LED loads designed for that current level. The connected LED load also needs to stay within the driver's output capability and rated power.
Can the APC-35-500 be used for indoor LED sign and lighting assemblies?
Yes. Indoor sign and lighting assemblies are appropriate uses when the load is designed for 500mA constant-current operation and fits within the driver's electrical rating. Note that the sheet states it is not intended for LED lighting luminaire applications in the EU and China.
Will the APC-35-500 operate from common AC mains input?
Yes. The listed AC input range is 90-264VAC, so the APC-35-500 can run from common 120V and 240V AC mains systems within that range. That makes it suitable for standard indoor lighting installations.
Is the APC-35-500 suitable for exposed outdoor use?
No. The APC-35-500 is rated IP42, so it should generally be used indoors or in a protective enclosure rather than in direct outdoor exposure. Its working temperature range is -30°C to +70°C (refer to the derating curve), but ingress protection is still limited.
How does the APC-35-500 compare with other APC series drivers?
The APC-35-500 provides 35W at 500mA, while the APC-35-350, APC-35-700, and APC-35-1050 cover 350mA, 700mA, and 1050mA current classes. The main choice is matching the current rating to the LED load and then checking that the load's voltage fits the model's output range.
