Bench power supplies target high-density automated test rack applications

Available now from Farnell element14, Keithley's 2268 Series 850W (max) DC bench power supplies are available in six formats. The compact form factor units target high-density automated test (ATE) rack applications. They are the only power supplies that offer over 760W (up to 850W in some models) in a space-saving, 1U half-rack enclosure. Unlike competing products. The units also feature useful additional control outputs including separate 15V and 5V outputs for controlling relays and for interfacing with test fixtures and component handlers, thereby eliminating the need for additional instruments in the test system. The Series 2268 supplies also have isolated analogue control lines, so that when controlling the supply output with analogue signals, the isolated analogue inputs minimise potential ground loops. The range is aimed at the automotive, industrial products (control systems etc.) and defence / aerospace industries. The power supplies are particularly well suited for test engineers designing automated test systems, says the company.
