Test conditions and notes12
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 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. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the static characteristics for more details.
- 5. This is the maximum possible output current and power. Over load protection may be activated slightly below this level to comply with the requirement of UL1310 class 2.
- 6. Please refer to "DRIVING METHODS OF LED MODULE".
- 7. Safety and EMC design refer to EN60598-1, subject 8750(UL), CNS15233, GB7000.1, FCC part18.
- 8. 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)
- 9. To fulfill requirements of the latest ErP regulation for lighting fixtures, this LED power supply can only be used behind a switch without permanently connected to the mains.
- 10.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).
- 11. 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
- 12. PLN-100-12 is used for any light source that exempt from the ErP-Directive (EU) 2019/2020 requirement, for example this model could be use for signalling products(including, but not limited to road-, railway-, marineorair traffic-signalling , traffic control or airfield lamps).

FAQ
Can I use the PLN-100-20 for 20V LED signage applications?
Yes, it suits 20V LED signage, delivering a 20V output up to 96W and 4.8A. It should only be used with 20V lighting loads that stay inside those limits.
Is the PLN-100-20 suitable for 20V LED strip lighting?
It can be used with 20V LED strip lighting if the strip is rated for 20V and the total load does not exceed 96W or 4.8A. Its constant current operation and 15-20V CC range mean the load needs to match the driver's output characteristics.
Can this driver run 20V display or cabinet lighting in commercial environments?
It is appropriate for 20V low-voltage lighting where the load requires up to 96W and 4.8A. The input range of 90-295VAC also supports use across a broad AC supply range.
How do I estimate LED strip length for the PLN-100-20?
Use the available output power of 96W and divide it by your strip's rated power per meter. The math is length = 96W ÷ strip W/m; check your strip rated power per meter and confirm the total current stays within 4.8A.
Is the PLN-100-20 okay for outdoor or splash-prone installations?
The IP64 enclosure is intended for dust protection and resistance to splashing water, so it suits outdoor or damp locations where the driver is not submerged. Its operating temperature range is -30°C to +50°C.
What are the main differences between the PLN-100-20 and other PLN family options?
In the PLN-100 range, the related outputs are 12V 60W 5A, 15V 75W 5A, 24V 96W 4A, 27V 95.85W 3.55A, 36V 95.4W 2.65A, and 48V 96W 2A. All share the same 90-295VAC input, IP64 rating and 200 x 70.5 x 35mm case.
