ErP and final equipment For the stated ErP application, install behind a switch; do not permanently connect the driver to the mains. The final equipment manufacturer must requalify EMC for the complete installation.

Mechanical and installation details

Parameter Specification
Dimensions 107 × 40 × 32 mm (L × W × H); drawing tolerance ±1 mm.
Unit weight 190 g, catalog individual-unit PACKING value.
Mounting and case Case XLC-25; two Ø3.6 mm mounting holes, 99 mm longitudinal spacing. Follow the full drawing for mounting orientation and clearances.
Terminal assignment TB1: pin 1 AC/N; pin 2 AC/L. TB2: pin 1 +V; pin 2 −V.
Wiring size TB1 input: 0.5–1.5 mm²; TB2 output: 0.5–1.5 mm². Strip 8–9 mm; follow the terminal drawing.
Strain relief Built-in configuration has no strain-relief caps. The catalog lists an optional strain-relief cap set with printed order reference 1**3XLC-SET; one bag contains 50 pieces, two pieces per set. Confirm the complete ordering reference and fit with MEAN WELL; the printed asterisks must not be expanded by guesswork.

Use the drawing for this casing and control option. Match the LED load to the specified output, observe terminal polarity and conductor size, and provide the free-air-convection conditions used by the load curves. Check the tc point in the completed installation and requalify final-equipment EMC.

Catalog reference: XLC-40, pages 42–52 of the combined XLN/XLC PDF. Use the exact model, suffix and applicable wiring drawing when designing the installation.
