Agilent/Keysight 6116A DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6116A is a precision DC power supply delivering 20 W of stable, low-noise output across 0–100 V and 0–200 mA. Built for component testing, circuit design, and quality control, the 6116A operates in both constant voltage and constant current modes with 0.1% output voltage accuracy and excellent line/load regulation. The compact bench-top form factor and remote control interface make it suitable for both standalone operation and system integration in automated test environments.

Though obsolete, the 6116A remains available through technical support and calibration services.
