MEAN WELL announced in January that a number of popular ranges had not been recommended for new design.

As per their July 2019 update, all of these units have now entered their end of life (EOL) procedure.

Once this procedure has been completed, the specified ranges will no longer be in production.

Due to the slow down in the quantity of these units produced, they are now only available with the longer lead-times listed below.

Fortunately, MEAN WELL have released new and more cost-effective models to replace each of the discontinued units (see below).

We encourage you to switch over to these newer units as soon as possible, so that you are ready for when the discontinued models become obsolete.
