PA-1063 Rev. A / March 2012 

 
 

Connections using a Model 2657A and Model 4200-SCS SMUs 

You can use the Model 2657A-LIM-3 with a Model 2657A source-measure unit (SMU) and the Model 4200-SCS 

SMUs. 

 

Typical test configurations 

A.  One Model 4200-SCS SMU, one Model 2657A, 2-wire sensing 
B.  One Model 4200-SCS SMU, one Model 2657A, 4-wire sensing 
C.  Two Model 4200-SCS SMUs, one Model 2657A, 2-wire sensing 
D.  Two Model 4200-SCS SMUs, one Model 2657A, 4-wire sensing 

 

Required accessories 

The following table lists accessory quantities for each test configuration. The connections for test configuration B 

are shown in the 

Connection summary

 (on page 15). 

 

A. Model 4200-SCS SMU, Model 2657A, 2-wire sensing 

 

 

B. Model 4200-SCS SMU, Model 2657A, 4-wire sensing 

 

 

 

C. Two Model 4200-SCS SMUs, Model 2657A, 2-wire sensing 

Accessory model 

 

 

 

D. Two Model 4200-SCS SMUs, Model 2657A, 4-wire sensing 

2657A-PM-200 protection modules 

CA-558 interlock cable 

CA-573-3 interlock cable 

236-ILC-3 interlock cables 

CA-568-120 ground cables 

4200-MTRX miniature triaxial cables 

4200-TRX standard triaxial cables 

237-TRX-T triaxial tee 

CA-554 high-voltage triaxial cables 

2*  2* 

CA-553 standard triaxial cables or 

CA-554 high-voltage triaxial cables 

* Because all Model 4200-SCS SMUs share a common LO, you only need to connect the LO,SL OUT connector of one Model 

2657A-PM-200 to the Model 2657A-LIM-3. 

Refer to Model 2657A-PM-200 User's Guide for more information on accessories required to connect 

the Model 4200-SCS SMU with the Model 4200-PA preamplifier to the Model 2657A-PM-200.
