Mean Well Launches 16W Constant Current LED Power Supply

After the launch of ac-dc LED power supply with constant current (C.C.) mode and PFC function ~ PLD-25 series (25W), MEAN WELL continuous to introduce PLD-16 series (16W) to fulfill the lower wattage demand of LED indoor/ decorative lighting market. Thanks to the simplified single stage PFC topology, the required high power factor (PF>0.9) can be achieved economically.

PLD-16 series can be used in 115 or 230Vac utility power regions, and also fulfills the usage of 277Vac main power system in North America. With constant current (C.C.) output, the efficiency of these new models are as high as 86% and hence can operate between -30 ~ +50° by only free air convection. All series are semi-potted for PCB protection (IP30 level) to provide the basic ability of anti-moisture, anti-dust as well as heat-conduction purpose. With double insolated two wires input design (Class II, no FG), these LED drivers are enclosed by plastic case with 94V-0 fire prevention level, which can protect the users against electric shock. In addition, these series comply with global certificates per UL8750, EN61347-2-13, and EN62384 and also meet with major lighting regulations such as CE and FCC, which are perfectly suitable for LED-based indoor lighting and decorative lighting applications.

Features include:

-- AC input range 90~135 or 180~295Vac

-- Built-in active PFC function

-- Constant current (C.C.) output: 350mA/700mA/1050mA/1400mA
