Keysight PD1000A Test Fixture Operating Guide

Customizing an SMD Test Fixture

Customizing an SMD Test Fixture

The SMD Test Fixture and as provided by Keysight is suitable for TO-263 seven 

pin SMD devices. These devices must have Pin 1 connected to the Gate of the 

device under test. The device Tab must connect to the Drain or Collector. The 

Source or Emitter pin(s) must connect to GND.

Figure 16 shows the primary components of the SMD Test Fixture. Refer to the 

following instructions.

IMPORTANT:

 Because each SMD devices is unique, the customer is 

required to create and assemble a PC board, frame guide, and 

Calibration Standards specific to the device(s) they intend to test. 

This section provides general guidelines to customize the SMD 

test fixture.
Detailed CAD files (.dxf) for the PC Board, the Frame Guide and 

Calibration Standards for standard MOSFET and IGBT devices are 

available as part of the PD1000A installation.
You will also need to purchase a Keysight Frame.
