Model 4200-RPC-X Remote PreAmp Cable Assembly
Packing List
PA-688 Rev. A /2-00
Description
The Model 4200-RPC-X Remote PreAmp Cable connects a Source Measurement Unit (SMU) installed in a Model 4200 Semi-
conductor Characterization System (SCS) to a remotely mounted 4200-PA PreAmp.
Model 4200-RPC-X is terminated at each end with a high density DB15 connector. One end mates to the PreAmp Control con-
nector on the 4200-PA mounted remotely (e.g., in a probe station); the other end mates to the PA CNTRL connector on the
matching Model 4200-SMU or 4210-SMU installed in the System. (See Figure 1).
NOTE
• Each PreAmp is matched to a specific SMU. Be sure to re-connect the remotely mounted PreAmp to the
SMU that it was originally connected to in the system.
• The 4200-RPC-X cable must be strain relieved at the PreAmp connection.
Model 4200-RPC-X is available in four lengths. The X in the model number represents the cable length in meters, as follows:
