Product Overview

The APC-35 series is the most powerful APC CC LED driver -- 35W in the same 84x57x29.5mm PCD16A chassis as APC-25. A 1.4x power upgrade that pushes the platform to its limit: the 350mA variant reaches an unprecedented 100V compliance ceiling with OVP at 110~130V -- enabling 28~33 series LEDs from a single driver. All models deliver 84% unified efficiency with 300VAC 5s surge immunity and OVP restart auto-recovery.

The APC-35 accepts 90~264Vac with 0.5A/230V, 0.75A/115V and 45A inrush. Four fixed current options with +/-8% accuracy and 5.0% ripple: 350mA (28~100V/35W, OVP 110~130V), 500mA (25~70V/35W, OVP 77~91V), 700mA (15~50V/35W, OVP 55~65V), and 1050mA (11~33V/34.7W, OVP 36~43V). The 350mA variant's 72V compliance span is the largest in any APC series, supporting over 30 series LEDs.

84% unified efficiency across all four models -- a 1 percentage point improvement over APC-25's 83%. Combined with 300VAC 5s surge immunity and OVP restart auto-recovery, the APC-35 delivers the most resilient high-power CC LED driving in MEAN WELL's budget range. 1500ms/40ms start-up, 20ms/230V hold-up.

⚠ Certification Limitations: APC-35 has the tightest certification coverage in the APC family. UL8750: only 700mA and 1050mA. CSA C22.2: only 1050mA. BIS IS15885: only 700mA and 1050mA. LPS: only 700mA and 1050mA. APC-35-350 and APC-35-500 have NO UL8750, NO CSA, NO BIS, NO LPS -- they exceed 60V output safety thresholds. For certified 35W CC, use 700mA or 1050mA. Not for EU/CN LED lighting.

Certifications: UL8750 (700/1050mA only), CSA C22.2 (1050mA only), BIS IS15885 (700/1050mA only), EAC, BS EN/EN62368-1, IP42. LPS (700/1050mA only). 3KVac I/P-O/P. EMC Class A, EN55035 immunity. 0.18kg, 72 pcs/carton (14kg). 2-year warranty. Only 5 B-type / 9 C-type on 16A breaker at 230V (higher power = fewer drivers per breaker). 60KHz switching.

Key Features

35W in Same 84mm Chassis -- APC Platform Peak
Identical 84x57x29.5mm PCD16A chassis as APC-25 but 1.4x the power. The most power-dense CC LED driver in the APC family. Drop-in upgrade from APC-25 for 40% more power and extended voltage ranges -- zero mechanical redesign.

350mA / 100V -- 33 Series LEDs, Unprecedented
28~100V compliance with 110~130V OVP restart enables 33+ series LEDs at 350mA -- the longest single-driver LED string in any budget CC LED driver. For architectural runs, linear pendant arrays, and facade lighting where minimizing driver count is critical.

84% Unified Efficiency -- All Four Currents
Unlike APC-25 where efficiency varies by current, all four APC-35 models deliver the same 84% efficiency. No trade-off between LED string length and thermal performance -- every variant is equally efficient.

300VAC Surge + OVP Restart -- Industrial 35W
Withstands 300VAC grid spikes for 5 seconds with OVP auto-restart -- survives power events that destroy unprotected drivers. OVP thresholds scale with compliance: from 36~43V (1050mA) to 110~130V (350mA). Unattended installations self-recover.

⚠ Certification Caveats -- 700/1050mA Only
Tightest certification coverage in APC: UL8750/BIS/LPS only for 700mA & 1050mA. CSA only for 1050mA. 350mA & 500mA exceed 60V limits. For certified 35W CC, choose APC-35-700 or APC-35-1050. For long LED strings without certifications, use 350mA.

2G Vibration + -30C Cold Start + 5% Ripple
Industrial-grade reliability with 2G vibration resistance, -30C cold start, and 5.0% low-ripple current for flicker-free LED output. 0.18kg, 72 pcs/carton. 9 drivers per C16A breaker at 230V.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is APC-35 different from APC-25?

Same chassis (84x57x29.5mm), 1.4x power, wider voltage ranges, higher efficiency, tighter certifications. APC-35 delivers 35W vs 25.2W. The 350mA variant reaches 100V (vs 70V) with OVP at 130V (vs 94V). 500mA reaches 70V (vs 50V). 700mA reaches 50V (vs 36V). 1050mA reaches 33V (vs 24V). Efficiency: 84% unified vs 83%. But: UL certification shrinks from 3 models to 2, CSA from 2 models to 1, BIS from 3 to 2. AC current: 0.75A/115V vs 0.8A. Weight: 0.18kg vs 0.13kg. Breaker capacity: 9 vs 15 C-type. APC-35 is the power upgrade; APC-25 is the certified and breaker-friendly choice.

How many LEDs can APC-35-350 drive?

With 28~100V compliance and 350mA: 9-33 standard white LEDs (3Vf), 8-30 for 3.3V LEDs, 12-45 for 2.2V red LEDs. Practical safe max: 30 white LEDs (90V) to stay below the 110V OVP threshold. This is 50% more LEDs than APC-25-350's 23-LED ceiling -- the longest single-driver CC LED string in budget LED driver history.

Why are certifications so limited on APC-35?

The 350mA and 500mA variants exceed 60V DC output (100V and 70V ceilings), which disqualifies them from UL8750, Class 2, and LPS -- these safety standards mandate output <60V for simplified wiring. The 700mA (50V) and 1050mA (33V) models stay within Class 2 limits and carry full certifications. This is a fundamental trade-off: higher voltage = longer LED strings = fewer certifications. For certified 35W CC, use 700mA or 1050mA.

Can I drop-in upgrade from APC-25 to APC-35?

Yes, mechanically identical -- same 84x57x29.5mm PCD16A chassis, same fly leads, same IP42 shell. APC-35 is 0.05kg heavier (0.18kg vs 0.13kg) and draws less AC current at 115V (0.75A vs 0.8A). However: fewer drivers per breaker (9 vs 15 C-type), and certification coverage shrinks -- verify your target market's compliance requirements before migrating.
