The 66000 modular power system simplifies test-system assembly, cabling, programming, debugging and operation. It is ideal for ATE and production test environments, where it can supply bias power and stimulus to subassemblies and final products. The modular power system saves rack space, the 7-inch-high (4-EIA units) mainframe can accommodate up to eight DC power modules.
The HP 66102A DC Power Module may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Provides programmable DC power supply functions with configurable voltage and current outputs, designed to integrate into modular electronic test systems for powering devices under test; interfaces via a standardized mainframe connector to control instruments and test equipment, supporting automated test sequences and system-level power management in R&D and manufacturing environments.
Platforms
Designed to operate within VXI mainframe chassis systems requiring C-size module slots with standard VXI bus connectivity for instrument control and data communication. Interfaces through VXI backplane using register-based messaging protocol and supports remote programming via SCPI commands over VXI bus. Compatible with VXI-based automated test equipment systems and can be controlled by external computers through VXI system controllers. Requires regulated cooling airflow within VXI mainframe and standard VXI power supply voltages for operation.
Applications
Used in automated test systems for precise voltage and current sourcing and measurements. Suitable for research and development, manufacturing, and design validation of electronic components and systems. Ideal for powering DC devices under test, simulating battery charging and discharging, and conducting power consumption analysis in laboratory and industrial settings.
Accessories
Requires HP 66000A Mainframe chassis. Interfaces include proprietary backplane connection to mainframe; front-panel binding posts for DC power output and remote sensing. Mainframe provides rear-panel AC power input (IEC 320 C14) and GPIB (IEEE-488, 24-pin female D-sub) for remote control. Associated cables: AC power cord, GPIB cable, customer-supplied output load and remote sense cables.
Interfaces
Requires 66000A Modular Power System Mainframe for operation. The module installs into the mainframe, connecting via a rear proprietary card-edge backplane connector for power and control. The front panel provides DC power output and remote sense connections through a 4-position screw terminal block (+, -, +S, -S).
Specifications
A single-output, 50W programmable DC power module (0-20V, 0-2.5A) designed for the 66000A modular power system mainframe. It provides precise voltage and current regulation with measurement readback and remote sensing to compensate for lead-wire voltage drop. The module interfaces with the mainframe via a backplane connector, with DC output on front terminals. Controlled via mainframe GPIB, USB, LAN, or RS-232 interfaces, it is used in automated test equipment (ATE) for R&D, design validation, and manufacturing test of electronic components and devices.
