Overview

APV-8-5 is the 5V output model of this series: rated current 1.4A, rated power 7W, typical efficiency 74%.

APV-8 series is one 8W AC/DC constant voltage mode single output LED power supply. It accepts the full range input 90~264VAC and provides three models with different output voltage, 5V, 12V, 24V, respectively, that the small wattage LED applications employ the most frequently. Exploiting Class II design (without FG pin) and adopting the 94V-0 flame retardant plastic enclosure, APV-8 ideally fits the entry-level LED applications.

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.
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. When applying DC voltage for input, please connect the brown input wire to the positive side whereas blue input wire to the negative side.
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

What 5V LED lighting applications suit the APV-8-5?

The APV-8-5 outputs 5V at 1.4A for a maximum of 7W. Its compact 60.0 × 30.0 × 23.5 mm housing makes it suited to very short 5V addressable LED strip segments, small 5V LED pixel accent lighting, and miniature 5V LED display elements where total load stays within 7W.

How long a 5V LED strip can the APV-8-5 support?

The APV-8-5 delivers 7W at 5V. At a strip rated 5 W/m, that supports approximately 1.4 m. Divide 7W by your strip's rated power per meter to calculate your specific maximum, and check your strip's rated power per meter before purchasing.

What are the environmental limits for the APV-8-5?

The APV-8-5 operates from -30°C to +70°C (with derating per the derating curve) at 20–90% RH non-condensing, and carries an IP42 ingress protection rating. It is intended for dry indoor installations. For outdoor or wet-location 5V LED installations, choose a driver with a higher, suitable IP rating.
