Honeywell N6736B DC Power Module 100V 0.5A 50W

Product Overview

This 50 W module provides programmable voltage and current, along with essential measurement and protection features. It is designed to power your device under test (DUT) or system resources like fixture control, making it a versatile building block for test systems.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the N6736B are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

This module shines in ATE systems where multiple output channels are needed in a compact 1U chassis. Use it to power DUTs, control fixtures, or drive relays and solenoids. On the bench, the N6705 DC Power Analyzer integrates this module for precise I-V characterization of prototypes. The programmable voltage and current allow you to simulate various load conditions, ensuring your designs perform reliably.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Before installation, ensure the host mainframe (N6700 or N6705) is powered off. Slide the module into an available slot until it locks. Connect the output leads to your DUT, observing polarity. Set the voltage and current limits via the front panel or remote interface. For accurate programming, operate at 23°C ±5°C. Always use proper cabling rated for 100 V and 0.5 A. Refer to the mainframe manual for detailed configuration steps.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine maintenance is minimal. Periodically inspect the module for dust accumulation and ensure adequate airflow around the chassis. Check that all connections are tight and free of corrosion. Avoid operating in environments with excessive humidity or temperature extremes. Calibration is recommended annually to maintain programming accuracy. If the module fails to power up, verify the mainframe slot and power supply.

Compatibility & Integration

The N6736B is designed for the Keysight N6700 Low-Profile Modular Power System and the N6705 DC Power Analyzer. It supports GPIB, LAN, USB, and LXI interfaces, enabling seamless integration into automated test environments. With over 20 different DC power modules available, you can mix and match to meet your power requirements. The module is hot-swappable, allowing quick replacement without shutting down the system.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

When selecting a DC power module, consider your voltage and current needs. The N6736B offers 100 V and 0.5 A, suitable for low-current, high-voltage applications. If you need higher current, consider other modules in the series. At AutoDCSTech, we stock the N6736B and can advise on the best configuration for your test system. Contact us for availability and lifecycle status before ordering.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

If the module does not output voltage, check the output enable state and the voltage setting. Verify that the current limit is not set too low. If you see excessive ripple, ensure the load is within specifications and that you are using shielded cables. For communication errors, confirm the interface settings and cable connections. If problems persist, consult the mainframe manual or contact AutoDCSTech for support.
