The Keysight E36100B Series is a family of programmable single-output DC bench power supplies, the latest addition to Keysight's family of bench power supplies. It is engineered to power designs safely and quietly during manual tests or automated sequences, with five models offering up to 5 A or up to 100 V so a user can choose the model best suited to the application. Compact size, an OLED display, and standard remote I/O are emphasized across the line.
A DC power supply delivers controlled, regulated DC power to a device under test, providing the known voltage and current a circuit needs to operate while it is being characterized or debugged. The E36100B Series is intended for both bench-side manual work and computer-controlled automated test sequences, and includes a highly accurate low-current measurement feature for demanding low-current measurements on a connected DUT.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Keeping equipment on hand lets us match the right instrument and condition to a specific application and get it out the door quickly.
Keysight Technologies traces its roots to Hewlett-Packard, whose test and measurement business was spun off as Agilent Technologies in 1999. In 2014, Agilent's electronic measurement division was established as Keysight Technologies, the company that produces this instrument today.
The E36100B Series comprises five single-output programmable DC bench power supplies that share a common 2U quarter-rack platform, OLED display, front-panel knob-and-keypad interface, and standard LAN (LXI Core) and USB connectivity. The models differ primarily in their maximum voltage and current ratings, letting a user select the output envelope that fits the device under test rather than over-buying capability.
Every model in the series carries the same programming and readback accuracy class and the same protection set — overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature — so the choice between models comes down to the voltage and current required at the output, not to feature tiers.
Each model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the specific model your application requires, then choose the new listing that fits your budget and lead-time needs.
The five models span a range of output envelopes: the E36102B is rated 6 V / 5 A (30 W), the E36103B 20 V / 2 A (40 W), the E36104B 35 V / 1 A (35 W), the E36105B 60 V / 0.6 A (36 W), and the E36106B 100 V / 0.4 A (40 W). As maximum voltage increases across the line, maximum current decreases, so higher-voltage models trade current capacity for voltage reach.
Because the models differ in output rating, their per-model regulation, ripple, accuracy offset, and resolution figures also scale with the rating. Refer to the comparison table that follows for the exact voltage, current, and power values of each model so you can match the supply to your DUT's requirements.

|---|---|---|---|
| E36104B | 35 V | 1 A | 35 W |
| E36102B | 6 V | 5 A | 30 W |
| E36103B | 20 V | 2 A | 40 W |
| E36105B | 60 V | 0.6 A | 36 W |

Important: Low-range current measurement specifications apply in constant voltage mode and at ≥1% of rated voltage only.
Important: Overvoltage protection (OVP) activation time is less than 1.5 ms only when the trip voltage is greater than or equal to 3 V.
Important: To convert the power supply for different mains power, use the two switches on the bottom of the instrument; see the product manual for details. The factory AC input is set per Option 0E3 (230 VAC), 0EM (115 VAC), or 0E9 (100 VAC).
Recommended pairing: add the E36110A rack mount kit to install the supply in a standard equipment rack, or the J1520AC universal shelf rack or J1526AC metal sliding shelf for shelf mounting.
