Connections for a Uniquely Shaped Device
If there is no socket module suitable for a uniquely shaped DUT, you can connect
the device by using the blank Teflon board or the universal socket module:
Blank Teflon Board
Connect all the terminals directly to the DUT on the blank Teflon board with the
miniature banana to miniature clip connection cables, as shown in the following
figure. Make sure to place the DUT on the blank Teflon board.
Universal Socket Module
The following figure shows an example of a universal socket module. You solder
the connection pins into the universal socket, then insert the pin plug of the
connection cable into the connection pin.
Note that hydrochloric acid residue deposited by solder may cause electrical
problems. Agilent Technologies recommend that you solder the wiring on the
universal board using
low
hydrochloric acid solder (Agilent part number:
8090-0433).
Do not use the universal socket module for low-current measurements (less than
1 nA) that require low leakage current.
