Figure 18: Two-terminal local sense connections using the SMA to SSMC adapter cable
This connection method eliminates the triaxial guard (inner shield).
A
Triaxial plug to BNC socket adapter (supplied with the RPM)
B
BNC plug to SMA socket adapter (supplied with the RPM)
C
White SMA cable, 20.32 cm (8 in.) (supplied with the RPM)
D
SMA to SSMC adapter cable (4200-PRB-C, supplied with the PMU)
The needle holders shown in the previous two figures are supplied by the user.
When using two RPMs for four-terminal testing, two Y-cable assemblies are required. Make sure to
connect the two local grounds of the two cable assemblies together (see the figure in
RPM
connections to a prober (on page 2-18)).
Remote sensing using RPM connections to a prober
Optional prober cable kits are available from Keithley Instruments. These kits provide connections to
a DUT:
• Model 4210-MMPC-S: Use this cable kit with the Suss Micro Tec PA200/300 series prober.
• Model 4210-MMPC-C: Use this cable kit with the Cascade Microtech 12000 series prober
(manipulator type DCM-200 series).
• Model 4210-MMPC-L: Use this cable kit with a Lucas Signatone Wavelink series prober.
• Model 4210-MMPC-W: Use this cable kit with the Wentworth prober.
