Installation
Mounting Connectors
To Connect GNDU Output
The GNDU output connection examples are shown in Table 3-7
Table 3-7 GNDU Output Connections
CAUTION Use Agilent 16493L GNDU cable to connect the GNDU to your connector plate or
test fixture. Do not use the triaxial cable. The GNDU is rated for up to 4.2 A, while
the maximum current rating of the triaxial cable is 1 A.
Kelvin connections non-Kelvin connections
Use a low-noise coaxial cable (Agilent part numb
er
8121-1189) from the connector to the prober,
socket, or DUT as shown.
To cancel the effects of cable resistance, connect the
Sense line and Force line
as close as possible to the
terminal of the DUT.
Short the Sense and Force on the connector as
s
hown belo
w. Measurement data will include the
residual resistance of the connection wire.
Use AWG 22 single-strand insulated wire
(Agilent
part number 8150-2639) from the
connector plate to the prober, socket, or DUT.
For a quick connection where measurement
accu
racy is not critical, connect only Force to the
DUT, without shorting the Sense and Force. With
this connection, the measurement data will
include residual resistance from the connection
cable between the GNDU and the connector
plate.
