There are two main styles of Kelvin Table 5.5. Overview of instrument connector types
SMU connections. When connecting
B1500A Type A
instruments together, you need to make
sure that you have the correct type of
Kelvin triaxial cables.

Type A connectors have two screws, one

guide pin, and two triaxial terminals. Type
B connectors have one screw and two
triaxial terminals. These connectors are
also different in their width and thickness.

Several possibilities exist for connecting Table 5.6. SMU cables overview
the Source Monitor Units (SMUs) to the
16493K 16494B
DUT. The great variety of available cables
can be categorized into mainly three
types:

Triaxial cables have three layers or

leads: a center conductor for the signal,
a middle conductor that is actively

driven to be at the same potential as the

If you need parts to fix a connector plate, 16495F—Half size connector plate for matrix
see Table 5.8. Order the quantity you need. 16495F-001 has 12 triaxial through connectors (female to female), an Intlk

is four.) back of the Intlk connector is designed for soldering.

16495F-002 has 12 triaxial connectors, an Intlk connector, and a GNDU

connector. The back of each connector is designed for soldering.

16495G—Full size connector plate for matrix

16495G-001 has 24 triaxial through connectors (female to female), an Intlk
connector, and a GNDU connector (triaxial through, female to female). The
back of the Intlk connector is designed for soldering.

16495G-002 has 24 triaxial connectors, an Intlk connector, and a GNDU

connector. The back of each connector is designed for soldering.

16495H—Half size connector plate for analyzer

16495H-001 has 6 triaxial through connectors (female to female), 6 BNC
through connectors (female to female), an Intlk connector, and a GNDU
connector (triaxial through, female to female). The back of the Intlk connector
is designed for soldering.

16495H-002 has 6 triaxial connectors, 6 BNC connectors, an Intlk connector,

and a GNDU connector. The back of each connector is designed for soldering.

16495J—Half size connector plate for analyzer

16495J-001 has 8 triaxial through connectors (female to female), 4 BNC
through connectors (female to female), an Intlk connector, and a GNDU
connector (triaxial through, female to female). The back of the Intlk connector
is designed for soldering.

16495J-002 has 8 triaxial connectors, 4 BNC connectors, an Intlk connector,

and a GNDU connector. The back of each connector is designed for soldering.

16495K—Half size connector plate with universal cable holder

16495K-001 does not have any connectors. This plate provides the cable hole and the cover with
rubber used to block the light from the cable hole. This plate will be used with the Keysight E5288A
Atto Sense/Switch Unit (ASU) or the Keysight N1301A-200 Guard Switch Unit (GSWU) that will be
installed in the shielding box. The cable hole is to pass the cables from the ASU or GSWU to the
instrument such as the Keysight B1500A, E5270B, and so on. And the cables will be fixed to the
shielding box by using the cover with rubber that will close the opening of the cable hole.
