Mean Well LPV-100-12 Power Supply 12V DC 8.5A IP67 Waterproof

Description

Product Overview

The Mean Well LPV-100-12 is engineered as a high‑efficiency, single‑output switching power supply that reliably delivers 100 watts of power at a constant 12 V DC voltage. Constructed with a robust metal enclosure and sealed to meet IP67 standards, this unit is designed to withstand temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The internal circuitry incorporates a Class 2 power supply architecture, UL‑certified components, and a free‑air cooling system that minimizes ripple noise while extending the product’s operational lifespan. With a rated current of 8.5 A, the LPV‑100‑12 can comfortably drive a variety of LED lighting arrays, laboratory instrumentation, and other low‑voltage equipment that demand stable, clean power. The unit’s compact dimensions—7.48 × 2.05 × 1.46 inches—and lightweight design (0.16 lb) facilitate easy integration into confined spaces, and the built‑in hiccup overload protection automatically recovers after fault conditions, ensuring continuous operation with minimal downtime.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the LPV‑100‑12 excels in a range of applications. In LED lighting projects, it provides the precise voltage and current needed to maintain consistent brightness and color rendering, whether for decorative fixtures, commercial signage, or residential illumination. Laboratory environments benefit from its low‑noise output, which reduces interference with sensitive measurement equipment, while the IP67 rating safeguards the unit against accidental spills or exposure to humid conditions. Industrial settings such as automation stations, control panels, and test rigs can rely on the power supply’s rugged construction and automatic overload recovery to keep critical systems running smoothly. Its compact form factor also makes it an ideal candidate for portable test equipment, battery‑charging stations, and embedded systems where space and reliability are paramount.

FAQ

What does IP67 rating mean for this power supply?

IP67 indicates that the unit is completely dust‑tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, making it suitable for humid or wet environments.

Can the LPV‑100‑12 be used with LED strips that require higher current?

The supply provides a maximum of 8.5 A at 12 V DC. For LED strips that exceed this current, multiple units can be paralleled or a higher‑capacity model should be selected.

Is any additional cooling required for continuous operation?

No additional cooling is needed. The free‑air cooling design dissipates heat efficiently, allowing the unit to operate continuously within its specified temperature range.

How does the hiccup overload protection work?

If an overload or short‑circuit occurs, the supply briefly shuts down, then automatically restarts once the fault condition clears, protecting connected equipment and the power supply itself.

What warranty does Mean Well provide for this product?

Mean Well offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, along with access to technical support and replacement parts during the warranty period.
