Condition: New

The Chroma 6310A Series is a modular programmable DC electronic load platform designed for the test and evaluation of multi-output AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, chargers, and power electronic components. The system is configured by plugging user-selectable load modules into a mainframe — the 6312A accepts two modules, and the 6314A accepts four — allowing up to eight independent channels in a single chassis when dual-channel modules are installed. Twelve module variants are offered, spanning 20W to 1200W of power dissipation, current ratings from 0.5mA to 240A, and voltage ratings from 0.5mV to 600V.

The 6310A Series is built for applications across research and development, production test, and incoming inspection. Specific use cases identified in the product documentation include multi-output switching power supply testing, DC-DC converter validation, battery charger simulation, battery discharge testing with built-in timing measurement, super capacitor discharge characterization, over-current protection (OCP) verification on modern switching supplies, and synchronized loading of multiple outputs for full-product test scenarios. Load modules can also be paralleled to reach 1200W for higher-current and higher-power test requirements.

ValueTronics maintains the 6310A Series — both new units from authorized Chroma distribution and verified pre-owned mainframes and modules — at our 20,000 sq ft secure facility at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Every {{CONDITION}} unit is staged, inspected, and functionally verified by our in-house technical team before shipment, with module-to-mainframe compatibility confirmed on the test bench. Operating since 1992, ValueTronics is a single-source supplier for the full 6310A ecosystem — mainframes, the twelve module variants, GPIB and USB interface cards, remote controllers, rack mount kits, and softpanel software — which removes the multi-vendor coordination that mixed new-and-used Chroma load builds typically require.

Compare Other Models in This Series

The 6310A Series is a modular family built around two mainframes — the 2-slot 6312A and the 4-slot 6314A — and twelve user-installable load modules. The mainframe provides power, control electronics, the LCD display and keypad, photo-coupled isolation between channels, and the communication interfaces. Each module is an independent load with its own MOSFET stack, A/D converter, and operating-mode logic, and modules can be operated independently to test multi-output supplies or paralleled for higher combined power.

Module selection is driven by the device under test's voltage range, current range, power dissipation, and whether LED-load simulation is required. The family covers low-voltage / high-current modules (e.g., 63112A at 80V/240A/1200W and 63123A at 120V/70A/350W for low-voltage rail and battery test), mid-range general-purpose modules (e.g., 63101A, 63103A, 63106A, 63108A), and dedicated LED Load Simulator modules (63110A, 63113A, 63115A) for LED driver characterization.

Each new 6310A mainframe and module model linked below is listed on its own product page with condition-specific pricing and availability. Because the 6310A is a modular system, mainframes and modules are tracked and quoted separately — the mainframe slot count (2 or 4) and the module power, voltage, and current ratings together determine the configuration suitable for a given application.

Mainframes differ in slot count and physical size: the 6312A accepts two modules and measures 194 × 275 × 550 mm (15 kg), while the 6314A accepts four modules and measures 194 × 439 × 550 mm (21.5 kg). Both mainframes accept the same module set, share the same control architecture, and use the same communication interface cards. Both are 19-inch rack mountable with the A631006 (6312A) or A631007 (6314A) rack mounting kit.

Modules differ along four primary axes — maximum power, voltage range, current range, and operating-mode set. The comparison table that follows lists each module's power, voltage, and current ratings, plus whether the module supports the dedicated LED Mode. Modules without LED Mode (63101A, 63102A, 63103A, 63105A, 63106A, 63107A, 63108A, 63112A, 63123A) provide CC, CR, CV, and CP modes; LED-capable modules (63110A, 63113A, 63115A) add the LED Mode with programmable VF and Rd parameters for LED driver load simulation.
