Model 8011 High Curr ent Test Socket Kit connection instructions

Before proceeding, please read, understa nd , 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.

Assembly instructions

1. Select the TO-247 Device Test Board (8010-120) or Customizable Test Board (8010-130), as appropriate
for your application.

2. Connect one end of the ground cable to the ground screw at the center of the mounting plate.

®

3. Attach the ground cable with the #6-32 Keps

4. Thread the four nylon hex standoffs onto the four threaded posts on the mounting plate.

5. Place the 8010-120 or 8010-130 board on the standoffs.

6. Thread four of the Phillips flat-head screws through the 8010-120 or 8010-130 board.

7. Tighten the screws.

8. Attach the other end of the ground cable to protective earth (ground).

The ground wire must be attached to a known safety earth (g round). Failure to attach the
ground wire to a known safety earth (ground) may result in electric shock.

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.

Use-cases

Two-terminal DUT using a Model 2651A set to local sense

These instructions provide general information about connections to the Model 2651A. For detail on
the connections, see the Model 2651A user documentation.
