Recent Technologies

XDR-960E

MEAN WELL unveiled its cost-effective XDR-E series, which supports 85–264 V_AC input, reaches up to 96% efficiency, and is 23–45% smaller than its predecessor. It also revealed the flagship XDR series, which features an ultra-wide input voltage range of 85–305 V_AC and offers up to 600% peak current. These cater to high-end industrial, automation, and semiconductor use, combining power density, reliability, and smart features. Compared to the previous SDR/NDR/EDR series, the XDR-E features a significantly reduced size, 23% to 45% smaller. It also offers a more complete product lineup, addressing the market gap for 240 W/480 W 12 V models while expanding the entire series to include 36 V options.

XLC-25-H-MAMEAN WELL unveiled XLN / XLC Smart LED Drivers, which offer a power rating of 25-60 W. The XLC series supports digital dimming protocols such as DALI and KNX. This product line integrates DALI, KNX, and Matter into a single solution, significantly enhancing interoperability within the lighting ecosystem and providing flexible, future-proof solutions for smart homes and commercial LED lighting systems. The XLC-25/40/60MA series, available in power ratings of 25 W, 40 W, and 60 W, is fully compliant with the Matter 1.3 standard and has received Matter certification from the CSA Alliance. It is compatible with various Matter-enabled smart home systems, enabling seamless wireless dimming control and enhancing the user experience in intelligent lighting applications.

Medical DC-DC Converters

MEAN WELL DC-DC medical-grade converters include the single-output MDS Series and dual-output MDD Series, both available from 1 to 20 W, all compliant with safety standards and known for their durability. They feature an ultra-low leakage current of less than 2 μA, 1×MOPP/2xMOOP and 6KVdc reinforced isolation, and pass LVD IEC60601-1 medical regulations. They are very suitable for terminal medical instruments that need to improve system insulation and reduce leakage current, thereby improving the overall system.

Key Products

• AC to DC Converters: These are MEAN WELL’s flagship products: power supplies that convert alternating current (AC) from the mains (typically 100–240 V) into low-voltage direct current (DC). They serve a vast array of applications, including industrial automation, consumer electronics, LED lighting, and more. MEAN WELL offers a rich variety in power ranges, form factors (open-frame, enclosed, DIN-rail, rack-mounted), and certifications.
• DC to AC Inverters: Inverters reverse DC back to AC, crucial for applications such as solar and renewable energy systems, UPS systems, and portable power solutions. MEAN WELL offers diverse capacities—from micro-inverters for residential solar setups to robust multi-kW inverters used in off-grid, hybrid, and backup power systems.
• DC to DC Converters: These converters regulate and transform DC voltages between different levels—vital for telecom, automotive, battery storage, and industrial instrumentation. The DC-DC product line spans wide input/output voltage ranges, encapsulations (module-type, board-mount, enclosed), and features like isolated vs. non-isolated topology, compliance standards, and programmable output control.
• Inrush Current Limiters: This product protects AC circuits from the high surge current that occurs when equipment powers on (especially transformers and capacitive loads). It demonstrates MEAN WELL’s approach to addressing specific design needs.
• LED Driver ICs: These components drive LEDs with regulated current or voltage, essential for reliable LED lighting performance in signage, architectural lighting, and displays. These products underline the company’s involvement in the solid-state lighting ecosystem.

MEAN WELL specializes in power supply units (PSUs) and conversion systems that bridge the gap between power generation, transmission, and device operation. It supplies DIN-rail power supplies, programmable modules, and redundant systems, enabling consistent and precise control across critical processes in the Power Electronics and Electric Vehicle supply chains. MEAN WELL's products are easily adaptable to custom power needs, essential in Power Electronics innovations where rapid prototyping and scaling are common. MEAN WELL’s compact, high-reliability DC/DC converters are essential for maintaining the separation between the high-voltage traction battery and the low-voltage electronics in EVs. MEAN WELL shapes the Power Electronics and EV industries by providing the power infrastructure, reliability, and modularity necessary for innovation and growth.
