Model 4210-MMPC-C
Multi-Measurement Prober Cable Kit
Quick Start Guide
Installation guidelines
Figure 7 shows the prober cable assemblies of four Model 4200-MMPC-C kits installed in a Cascade Microtech
12000 series prober.
Figure 7: Four prober cable assemblies installed in a Cascade prober
To install the Cascade prober kit:
1. Referring to Figure 7, mount each grounding bracket onto the tube of a manipulator.
2. Firmly tighten the set screws to secure the brackets to the tubes.
3. Black jumpers are used to connect the commons of the cable assemblies together. The jumpers plug into
the grounding brackets. Referring to Figure 7, connect the jumpers from one grounding bracket to another.
For the basic 2-pin setup in Figure 6, it is good practice to install the second jumper. It not only improves the
connection, but it is a good place to store the extra jumper.
NOTE
Figure 7 shows an example of good routing for the jumper wires. When routing the
wires, consider the possible movements of the manipulators.
4. Referring to Figure 6, connect the prober manipulators to the prober bulkhead connectors using the supplied
triax cables. Each cable is terminated with a full-triax connector on one end and a mini-triax connector on
the other end. Figure 7 shows the mini-triax connectors mounted on the manipulators.
