To Connect Connector Plate
The available connector plates are listed in Table 3-3. Option 001 provides the
through connectors except for the Interlock connector that provides the soldering
patterns at the back side. For the option 002, the back of each connector is designed
for soldering. For connector plate installation information, see Keysight 16495
Installation Guide.
For the 16495H/J, the insulator is inserted between the panel and the outer
conductor of Triax connectors/BNC connectors.
Use the cables shown in Table 3-4 to connect from the B1500A connectors to the
connector plate’s relative connectors. For the cable connections from the connector
plate to the DUT interface such as manipulator and probe card, see “Mounting
Connectors” on page 3-29 as reference.
NOTE
Making non-Kelvin connection
The Force terminals can be used to force and measure DC voltage or current. If you
want to simplify the cable connections, open the Sense terminals and connect the
Force terminals only to the connector plate by using the triaxial cables.
If you make the Kelvin connection (remote sensing), use both Force and Sense
terminals. Connecting the Force and Sense lines together at the terminal of the
device under test minimizes the measurement error caused by the residual resistance
of the connection cables. The Kelvin connection is effective for the low resistance
measurement and the high current measurement.
