Description
The Model 2651A-KIT is a high-current, low-impedance coaxial cable assembly that is used to connect the Model
2651A High Power System SourceMeterInstrument to the Model 8010 High Power Device Test Fixture. It also
connects to the Model CS-1626-2, which is a 2-pin male (receptacle housing) termination block. The Model
CS-1626-2 termination block is supplied with the Model 2651A.

You can order the cable in three different lengths (see table below).
There are multiple applications for the Model 2651A-KIT; three example applications are described below.
Use this cable to connect the Model 2651A directly to the Model 8010 High Power Device Test Fixture.
1. Plug one end of the cable into the OUTPUT connector on the Model 2651A.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate INPUT connector on the Model 8010.

Rated voltage and current
Use this cable with the Model CS-1626-2 termination block to connect the Model 2651A to a device under
test (DUT):
1. Use insulated cable wires (12 gauge or thicker) to connect the Model CS-1626-2 termination block to the
DUT.
2. Twist the cable wire pair to minimize inductance.
3. Plug one end of the Model 2651A-KIT cable into the Model CS-1626-2 termination block.
4. Plug the other end of the Model 2651A-KIT cable into the OUTPUT connector on the Model 2651A.
Use this cable with the Model CS-1626-2 termination block to connect the Model 2651A to the Model 8011
High Current Test Socket Kit:
1. Connect the unterminated ends of banana-plug cable wires to the screw terminals of the Model CS-1626-2.
Unterminated banana-plug cables are available from Keithley Instruments (Model CA-567).
2. Twist the cable wire pair together to minimize inductance, and then plug the cables into the binding posts of
the Model 8011 test socket board.
3. Plug one end of the Model 2651A-KIT cable into the Model CS-1626-2 screw terminal block.
4. Plug the other end of the cable into the OUTPUT connector on the Model 2651A.
