Agilent/Keysight 6621A DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6621A is an 80 W dual-output linear DC power supply engineered for automated test equipment (ATE) requiring precise voltage and current control. This 3U rack-mounted instrument delivers isolated outputs with dual-range capability, low-noise performance, and fast programming for reduced test cycles and improved measurement accuracy.
