The cabling from the RBT output is SMA, which will directly connect with RF probe
manipulators using the DC probe adapter cables described below.
DC Prober Interconnect
For DC structures, an adapter cable (4200-PRB-C) is included to convert from the
SMA to dual SSMC connections on DC manipulators. The adapter cable is shown
in Figure 3-30. Two 4200-PRB-C cables are included with the 4200-PIV-A
package, which allows testing of either three or four terminal FETs.
Many DC probe manipulators are available with SSMC connections at the probe
needle holder:
• Cascade DCM-2xx Kelvin DC probe manipulators
• Suss Microtec probe tips
• Signatone SCA-50 coaxial probes
• American Probe and Technologies:
– 74CJ series coaxial probe holder
• Any probe interconnect with SSMC connectors near the probe tip
Figure 3-31 shows the schematic diagram of the PRB-C adapter cable. The
Ground Tap is to be connected to the Ground Tap of the second PRB-C adapter
cable, as shown in Figure 3-32.
