The Agilent/Keysight 60503A is a DC electronic load module that provides programmable control and monitoring of power source behavior across current, voltage, and resistance parameters. Operating from 3 V to 240 V at up to 10 A, it dissipates a maximum of 250 W and supports three independent operating modes: Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), and Constant Resistance (CR). The module integrates into 6050-series and 6051-series mainframes, enabling multi-module configurations for expanded test capacity.

– Typical Applications
The 60503A serves R&D environments, production testing, and incoming component inspection where power source evaluation and load simulation are required. Its three operating modes and transient capability support diverse test scenarios from steady-state characterization to dynamic response measurement.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed exclusively for mainframe integration with Agilent/Keysight 6050A and 6051A platforms. The 6050A accommodates up to six load modules; the 6051A supports up to two. The 60503A is compatible with 60501B, 60502B, and 60503B modules within these mainframes but is not compatible with N3300A or N3301A platforms.
