Agilent/Keysight 6443B DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6443B is a solid-state regulated DC power supply engineered for benchtop and rack-mount deployment. It delivers continuously variable output from 0 to 120 VDC at 0 to 2.5 A, with automatic crossover between constant voltage and constant current operating modes. The unit combines low output noise, excellent regulation, and fast transient response, making it suitable for precision electronics testing, component characterization, and manufacturing environments where stable power and repeatable results are critical.
