Description
The Keithley 2461 High Current SourceMeter Source Measure Unit features advanced Touch, Test, Invent® technology. Keithley 2461 combines an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) with capacitive touchscreen technology to make testing intuitive. The GUI also minimizes the learning curve to help engineers and scientists learn faster, work smarter, and invent easier. Keithley 2461 High Current SourceMeter features a 10A/1000W pulse current and 7A/100W DC current capability combined with dual 18-bit 1MS/s digitizers.
The Keithley 2461 High Current SourceMeter is optimized for characterizing and testing high-power materials, devices, and modules. These devices include silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), DC-DC converters, circuit protection devices, solar cells and panels, high brightness LEDs and lighting systems, electrochemical cells, and batteries, and more. Keithley 2461 is ideal for use with high current sourcing and high-speed measurement applications.
A modern curve tracer solution
Install I-V Tracer Software to your 2400 Series Graphical SMU and create a functional replacement to traditional curve tracers like the Tektronix 576 or 370. Quickly trace out two-terminal device characteristics without configuring sweeps or connecting to other software.
Making the big power switch
Demand for more efficient high-voltage semiconductors in 5G, automotive, and alternative energy markets is driving increasingly complex testing and research into new technologies like SiC and GaN. Your testing equipment will need to evolve to keep up.
The 2470 SMU adds capabilities in measurements like breakdown voltage, leakage current, isolation testing, hi-pot and dielectric withstanding tests to get you to insight faster.
Make measurements at a whole new level
SMU instruments capture more-detailed device behavior and can characterize the device in extended ranges, so you can understand your device better, enhance its quality and improve its performance.
Intuitive UI. Smart and fast
Measure, see and discover more on the intuitive, multi-touch user interface – from raw readings to histograms to time-based and voltage/current-based waveforms—and get to your answers more quickly.
Unmatched versatility and return on investment
SMU instruments bring versatility to a new level for today’s applications and tomorrow’s innovation. Configure yours as a precision power supply, 6½-digit DMM, current source, voltage source, picoammeter, electronic load and more.
