Safety precautions WARNING The 8011 High Current Test Socket Kit is designed to work exclusively with the 2651A High Power System SourceMeter® Instrument and should never be connected to voltage sources that may exceed 40 V DC. The socket should be used within a comprehensive test system (for example, a protective enclosure or safety barrier) that provides adequate safety measures to prevent hazards such as accessible voltage, fire and explosion from causing harm.
