Test conditions and notes10
- 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. Please connect L line to the positive pole and N line to the negative pole under DC input.
- 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. 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. 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. 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. Products sourced from the Americas regions may not have the ENEC/BIS logo. Please contact your MEAN WELL sales for more information.
- 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
Can the APV-12-12 power a 12V LED strip for under-cabinet lighting?
Yes. The APV-12-12 outputs 12V at up to 1A, giving a maximum of 12W. It suits short runs of 12V LED strip in enclosed spaces such as under-cabinet or display-case lighting. Keep the total strip load at or below 12W.
How many meters of 12V LED strip can the APV-12-12 drive?
The APV-12-12 delivers 12W at 12V. Dividing 12W by your strip's rated power per meter gives the maximum length — for example, 12W ÷ 4.8 W/m equals about 2.5 m. Always check your strip's rated power per meter before sizing the run.
Is the APV-12-12 suitable for outdoor or damp-location use?
The APV-12-12 carries an IP42 rating, which protects against solid objects larger than 1 mm and dripping water falling at an angle up to 15°. It is not rated for direct outdoor exposure, rain, or splash environments. For outdoor or wet-location LED signage, a driver rated IP65 or higher is required.
How does the APV-12-12 differ from the APV-12-15 and APV-12-24 in the same wattage family?
All three share the same 12W power class and identical 77.0 × 40.0 × 29.0 mm housing. The APV-12-12 outputs 12V at 1A; the APV-12-15 outputs 15V at 0.8A; the APV-12-24 outputs 24V at 0.5A. Select based on the voltage your LED strip or luminaire requires.
What input voltage range does the APV-12-12 accept?
The APV-12-12 accepts 90–264VAC, covering standard mains voltages worldwide including 100V (Japan), 120V (North America), and 230–240V (Europe and Australia). No manual voltage switching is needed.
