Model 8011 High Current Test Socket Kit connection instructions

Before proceeding, please read, understand, and follow all safety precautions provided at the

end of this document.

The Model 8011 is designed for testing high power devices with 2600A Series SourceMeter instruments and

the Model 2651A High Power SourceMeter Instrument at currents up at 50 A pulsed and voltages up to 40 V.

The Model 8011 includes two test boards, the 8011-DTB and the 8011-CTB, and cables and connectors for

simplifying connections between the SourceMeter instruments and the device. The 8011-DTB Device Test

Board is designed for testing type TO-247 packaged parts and axial-lead components. The 8011-CTB

Customizable Test Board provides a blank space for user customization — the user can use the socket type of

his or her choice.

The High Current Test Socket Kit provides several types of connections to allow you to make connections to

meet the needs of your application.

In general, when making connections:

•Remove power from the SourceMeter instrument before making connections.

•Make connections to the SourceMeter instrument before making connections to the Model 8011 boards.

•Connect the force leads of the SourceMeter instrument to terminals 4, 5, and 6 of the Model 8011 boards.

Connect the sense leads to terminals 1, 2, and 3.

•Install the device under test (DUT) after making the SourceMeter instrument connections.

Use-cases are shown below that demonstrate some typical connections.
