Overview

APC-8-700 is the model of this series: rated current 700mA, rated power 7.7W, typical efficiency 80%.

APC-8 series is one 8W AC/DC constant current mode single output LED power supply. It accepts the full range input 90~264VAC and provides four models with different output current, 250mA, 350mA, 500mA and 700mA, respectively, that the small wattage LED applications employ the most frequently. Exploiting Class II design (without FG pin) and adopting the 94V-0 flame retarded plastic enclosure, APC-8 ideally fits the entry-level LED applications.

Test conditions and notes7

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. Constant current operation region is within 50% ~100% rated output voltage. This is the suitable operation region for LED related applications, but please reconfirm special electrical requirements for some specific system design.
4. When applying DC voltage for input, please connect the brown input wire to the positive side whereas blue input wire to the negative side.
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 type of LED loads is the APC-8-700 suited for?

The APC-8-700 outputs a constant 700mA, which suits LED downlights, signage modules, or compact LED arrays whose forward current rating is 700mA. Its CC voltage range of 6–11V accommodates short series strings, and rated output power is 7.7W.

How many LEDs can the APC-8-700 drive in a series string?

The APC-8-700 will regulate 700mA through any series LED string with a combined forward voltage between 6V and 11V. The specific number of LEDs depends on each LED's forward voltage at 700mA — this varies by LED type and cannot be determined from the driver specification alone.

Why does the APC-8-700 have a lower output power (7.7W) than the other APC-8 models?

Output power equals current multiplied by voltage. The APC-8-700 delivers 700mA but operates over a relatively low voltage range of 6–11V, so its maximum power reaches 7.7W (700mA × 11V). The APC-8-250 and APC-8-500 operate over higher voltage ranges that push their maximum power to 8W. All models are close in total power, but the voltage range and current rating determine which LED strings each driver can support.

Is the APC-8-700 suitable for use in temperature-controlled enclosures or cold environments?

Within limits. The APC-8-700 is rated for operation from -15°C to +70°C, with output load derating required at higher ambient temperatures (refer to the derating curve). It suits warm interior spaces and enclosures that stay above -15°C, but not environments colder than that.

How does the APC-8-700 compare to the other APC-8 series models?

All APC-8 variants share the same 60 × 30 × 23.5mm enclosure, 0.05kg weight, 90–264VAC universal input, IP42 rating and Class II design. The APC-8-700 delivers 700mA over 6–11V (7.7W); the APC-8-500 delivers 500mA over 8–16V (8W); the APC-8-350 delivers 350mA over 11–23V (8.05W); and the APC-8-250 delivers 250mA over 16–32V (8W). Selection is determined by the LED string's rated forward current, not by voltage.

Does the APC-8-700 work on both 120V and 240V mains supplies?

Yes. The APC-8-700 accepts a universal input range of 90–264VAC, so it operates without modification on both 120V North American and 240V European or Asian mains supplies.
