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-35-700 typically used for?
The Mean Well APC-35-700 is typically used for constant-current LED lighting and moving sign applications that need a 700mA drive current. With 35W rated power and a 15-50V DC output voltage range, it fits 700mA LED loads whose forward voltage falls within that range.
Is the APC-35-700 a better fit than lower-current APC drivers when the LED load requires 700mA?
Yes. The APC-35-700 is the correct choice when the LED load is designed for 700mA constant current, while APC-35-350 and APC-35-500 are intended for 350mA and 500mA loads. The driver current should match the LED load requirement rather than being selected only by wattage.
Can the APC-35-700 be used for indoor LED lighting and moving sign projects?
Yes. The APC-35-700 is suitable for indoor sign and lighting assemblies that are designed for 700mA constant-current operation and fit 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-35-700 run on common AC mains supplies?
Yes. The specified AC input range is 90-264VAC, so the APC-35-700 can operate from common 120V and 240V mains systems within that range. That helps simplify deployments across a range of standard indoor environments.
Is the APC-35-700 suitable for direct outdoor installation?
No. The APC-35-700 is rated IP42, so it is better suited to indoor use or installation inside a protective enclosure rather than direct weather 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-35-700 compare with the rest of the APC-35 family?
The APC-35-700 provides 35W at 700mA, while the APC-35-350, APC-35-500, and APC-35-1050 serve 350mA, 500mA, and 1050mA LED loads respectively. The APC-35-700 and APC-35-1050 are the models of the family with UL8750 and BIS IS15885 approval. The main decision point is matching the constant-current level to the LED load and checking that the load's voltage fits the model's output range.
