Figure 66: Full-Kelvin preamplifier to ground unit connections
Ground unit terminals and connectors
(on page 2-12) for the locations and configuration of the GNDU
terminals. Basic information about these connectors is summarized below. Refer to
(on page 2-1) for additional information about signal connections for
ground units.
The maximum allowed voltage between circuit COMMON and chassis ground is ±32 V dc.
FORCE terminal
The FORCE terminal is a standard triaxial connector used as a return path for the SMU or
preamplifier FORCE current. The center pin is FORCE, the inner shield is GUARD, and the outer
shield is circuit COMMON.
The ground unit FORCE and GUARD signal terminals are connected to circuit COMMON.
