Connection with Test Fixture
• Connection example for three terminals device by 2 channels of SMU
To connect to the 16442B test fixture for three terminals device by 2 channels of SMU,
two sets of N1294A-001 banana to triaxial adapter for 2 wire (non-kelvin) connection
and four 16494A triaxial cables are required.
Attach the banana to triaxial adapter to the B2900A source/measure terminals.
Connect the triaxial cables between the adapter and the 16442B as shown in the
following figure.
