Rohde & Schwarz HMC8043-G.02 Triple Output DC Power Supply with GPIB

Overview

The Rohde & Schwarz HMC8043-G.02 is a triple-output DC power supply with integrated GPIB interface, designed for development labs and industrial environments. With a total output power of 100W distributed across three independent channels, each capable of 0-32V at 0-3A, this supply offers flexibility for multi-channel testing and prototyping. The unit features high energy efficiency with linear switching technology, ensuring cool and quiet operation even at full load.

The HMC8043-G.02 is half-rack width and rack-mountable, making it suitable for bench-top or integrated 19" rack installations. The GPIB option enables seamless integration into automated test systems. All connectors, including SENSE leads, are located on the rear panel with cage clamp facilities for easy rack installation and removal.
