Model 8011 High Current Test Socket Kit connection instructions
WARNING
Before proceeding, please read, understand, and follow all safety precautions provided at the
end of this document (page 14).
The Model 8011 High Current Test Socket Kit is designed for testing high power devices with 2600A Series
SourceMeter instruments and the Model 2651A High Power SourceMeter In strument 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 i s
designed for testing type TO-247 packaged parts and axial 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.

Safety precautions
WARNING
The 8011 High Current Test Socket Kit is designed to work exclusively with the 2651A High
Power System SourceMeter® Instrument and should never be connected to voltage sources
that may exceed 40 V DC. The socket should be used within a comprehensive test system (for
example, a protective enclosure or safety barrier) that provides adequate safety measures to
prevent hazards such as accessible voltage, fire and explosion from causing harm.
The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumentation. Although
some instruments and accessories would normally be used with nonhazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous
conditions may be present.
