B&K Precision 1687B 36V 10A Switching DC Power Supply
A switching bench supply delivering 1 to 36 volts and up to 10 amps with automatic CV/CC crossover and three user presets
- Product typeElectronic
- Adjustable 1-36 V output suits many test setups
- Delivers up to 10 A for higher-current loads
- Automatic CV/CC crossover protects the device under test
- Three voltage and current presets speed up repetitive work
- Analog remote control adjusts output without front-panel access
Compact bench power supply for lab and test work
The B&K Precision 1687B is a switching DC power supply designed for bench use in R&D, service, production testing and university labs. It delivers adjustable output from 1 to 36 V and 0 to 10 A in a lightweight, compact form factor. Automatic CV/CC crossover protects the unit and the device under test during operation.
Three user presets and analog remote control
Three user-defined voltage and current presets allow quick recall of common test configurations without re-entering values. The analog remote control function lets you adjust output power, voltage and current externally without touching the front panel. Dual-action coarse and fine rotary encoders make setting levels fast and precise.
10 A maximum output current
The supply provides up to 10 A across its 1-36 V range, which determines whether it can power a given load. Builders who need more current for high-power applications will need a different unit.

Questions about this item
How often will the internal fan on the 1687B need cleaning or replacement?
The unit uses forced-air cooling; keep the intake vents clear and clean dust from the fan periodically to maintain airflow.
What limit will I hit first when running the 1687B at full 10 A output continuously?
The 36 V / 10 A ratings define the maximum continuous output; sustained operation at the edge of both limits will trigger thermal protection before any electrical limit is exceeded.
How much heat and noise does the 1687B produce during all-day bench use?
As a compact switching supply it generates noticeable heat at high load; the internal fan runs whenever the chassis temperature rises, producing audible airflow noise.
