Test conditions and notes10
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1uf & 47uf parallel capacitor.
  3. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
  5. 5. 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)
  6. 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
  7. 7. 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.)
  8. 8. 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).
  9. 9. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the ENEC/BIS logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
  10. 10. 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 LED lighting use cases fit a 5V, 10W constant-voltage driver?

The APV-12-5 outputs 5V at 2A for a maximum of 10W. It is suited to 5V LED pixel strips, addressable LED modules such as WS2812-style strips, and small 5V LED signage panels. Confirm your LED product operates at 5V and that the total load does not exceed 10W.

How does the APV-12-5 compare to the APV-16-5 and APV-25-5 for 5V LED applications?

The APV-12-5 provides 10W at 5V and 2A in a 77 × 40 × 29 mm housing; it is the only 5V model of the APV-12 series, whose other models are rated 12W. The APV-16-5 and APV-25-5 are not covered by this datasheet, so compare their ratings on their own spec sheets. Choose based on the wattage your LED load requires.

Is the APV-12-5 approved for use in moisture-prone environments?

The APV-12-5 is rated IP42 and is specified for 20–90% RH non-condensing working humidity. It is not suitable for outdoor, wet, or condensing environments without additional enclosure protection. For damp or wet locations, specify a driver with at least an IP65 rating.

How many meters of 5V addressable LED strip can the APV-12-5 support?

The APV-12-5 delivers 10W at 5V. At a typical 5V addressable strip consumption of 5 W/m at full white, that supports roughly 2 m. Divide 10W by your strip's rated power per meter to find your specific limit, and verify your strip's rated power per meter before purchasing.
