B&K Precision 9205B DC Power Supply

Overview

The B&K Precision 9205B is a multi-range programmable DC power supply designed for benchtop and system integration applications. Unlike conventional supplies with fixed output ratings, this unit automatically recalculates voltage and current limits for each setting, providing full output power in any volt/ampere combination within the rated voltage and current limits (60V/25A, 600W maximum).

The supply offers a numerical keypad for direct data entry and convenient cursor controls with analog-style knobs for incremental adjustments. It features standard USB (USBTMC-compliant) and RS-232 interfaces with SCPI command support for remote control and integration into automated test systems.

Key Features

• Multi-range operation with automatic voltage and current recalculation
• High programming and readback resolution of 1 mV/0.1 mA
