Banana Test Leads/Cable Adapter Information

Description

The Model 2460-BAN safety banana test leads/adapter assembly allows you to make multiple test connections
from the Model 2460 to a device under test (DUT). The 1 m (3.28 ft) adapter cable connects the rear-panel
screw terminal on the Model 2460 High-Current Interactive SourceMeter® Instrument to six color-coded,
stackable banana test leads.

The maximum floating (common mode) voltage for a source-measure unit (SMU) is ±250 V.
Exceeding this level may cause damage to the instrument and create a shock hazard.

Using an external source to float a SMU could create a shock hazard in the test circuit. A
shock hazard exists whenever >42 V peak is present in the test circuit. Appropriately rated
cables or insulators must be provided for all connections to prevent access to live parts.

When >42 V is present, the test circuit must be insulated for th e voltage used or surrounded
by a metal safety shield that is connected to a known protective earth (safety ground) and
chassis ground.
