These Switching DC Power Supplies by BK Precision® come in 3 models that are sure to cover the range of your DC power needs. Each unit features a small profile that may be stacked on your workspace for maximum efficiency. Safety is ensured by precise settings adjusted via rotary controls, a bright and easy-to-read LED display, as well as superior protection for all circuitry components. |
- Rotary control with bright, clear LED display facilitates precise voltage and current settings
- All functions undergo self-checks when the power supply is switched on, increasing safety by alerting the user to malfunctioning components
- Analog remote capability allows you to turn the unit on or off and control all settings remotely
- Small, lightweight form factor makes this unit easy to install and transport, and saves space at your workstation
- Built-in cooling fan keeps the unit at optimal operating temperature
- 5A front auxiliary output allows you to connect a low-current device without moving the unit to a new location
