HP Agilent Keysight 6214C DC Power Supply

The HP Agilent Keysight 6214C is a compact, modular DC power supply delivering 0–10 VDC at 0–1 A (10 W output). Purpose-built for breadboarding, circuit development, and troubleshooting of sensitive electronic devices, this instrument combines stable voltage and current regulation with low ripple performance. The stackable modular design permits flexible multi-voltage and multi-polarity configurations on a single test bench, making it ideal for laboratory environments where space and configuration flexibility matter.
