Current amplifier module thingy.

Current amplifier module thingy.

Current amplifier module thingy.

(OP)
I have a deice that puts out 0-10V that I have to feed into many other devices to control their outputs.  Each one draws about 10mA.  My source is good for about 30mA.  I essentially want to buffer this output for about 200mA+.

Sure I can make a buffered voltage follower by tagging a transistor on the back of an op-amp to up the current, and yes, I could use an off-the-self power op-amp to build a current booster, but I'd rather just buy a puck of some sort that has either flying leads or screws.

Any suggestions?
