Enabling transient overcurrent protection
Each connector card contains a 10 A fuse to allow maximum pulse current from each SMU instrument.
Removing this fuse enables transient overcurrent protection. This transient overcurrent protection is useful for
protecting probes and other sensitive interface hardware at the device under test. For more information, see the
Model 8020 High Power Interface Panel User's Manual.
Transient overcurrent protection is only available on the 200 V channels within the Model 8020. When using a
connector card in the HV channel, be sure that the 10 A fuse is installed.
