Note for 4142B Users
The B1505A expands the maximum measurement range up to 40 A/3000 V from the range
10 A/1000 V covered by Keysight 4142B Modular DC Source/Monitor.
Because of the following reasons, the measurement setup and environments for the 4142B
cannot be used with the B1505A. The test fixture and the connection path from connector
plate to wafer prober must be designed, changed, or remade for the B1505A.
• Test fixture 16088A/B designed for the 4142B, cannot be used for the measurements
over 10 A/1000 V.
• The connection path, connectors, cabling, and wiring will not support up to
40 A/3000 V.
• Connector types are different from the 4142B.
