MTECH Laboratories' current controllers are highly stable current sources that can be used in a variety of testing and laboratory applications. The model B1-1CC is a basic single-channel current controller stable to 10 ppm (2 ppm typical). It has a compliance voltage of up to 12 V and a maximum output current of 1 A (higher currents are available). The controller can be wired as a current source or sink.
The current controllers can be configured for any number of channels. Each channel features a manual current adjustment, on-off switch, and polarity switch. Current can be adjusted by a ten-turn front panel potentiometer or by an analog signal (0 V to 10 V) for remote computer control. The controllers require a dc power supply, which can be provided as an option.
