    If you want to add two more channels for a total of four, you can order another 16440A, which is called the “selector expander”. The selector and selector expander have identical circuits. The only difference is the channel naming. The selector has CH 1 and CH 2, and the selector expander has CH 3 and CH 4.
  • Page 11 CH 1 and CH 3 can have four switching states: all open, SMU on, PGU on, and PGU open. CH 2 and CH 4 can have three switching states: all open, SMU on, and PGU on. Agilent 16440A User’s Guide, Edition 5...
  • Page 12 When the switching state changes from “PGU on” to “PGU open”, only the semiconductor relay switches. This reduces the amount of times the mechanical relay is switched. The semiconductor relay has a much longer switching life than the mechanical relay. Agilent 16440A User’s Guide, Edition 5...

  • Page 25: Replaceable Parts

    Maintenance Replaceable Parts When soldering, use low hydrochloric acid solder (Agilent part number: 8090-0433) to prevent the flux in the solder from spreading unnecessarily, and make sure that adjacent terminals are not bridged. After soldering, make sure that there are no lint bridges, which would increase the leakage current.
