Overview
The Keithley Model 4210-MMPC-S multi-measurement prober cable kit is a collection of standard and custom
connectors and accessories used to make I-V and C-V measurements using a single prober cable setup. It is also
used with the Keithley Model 4225-PMU or Model 4200-PIV-A package to perform pulsed I-V measurements.
This kit has been assembled for use with the Suss MicroTec PA200/300 prober series.
This document contains the following information about the installation and use of this cable kit:
▪
How to connect 4200A instrumentation to the prober bulkhead.
▪
How to install the prober cable kits, which explains how to make connections from the prober bulkhead to the
prober pins.
▪
Specific prober cable setups:
▪
I-V testing (2-wire and 4-wire).
▪
C-V testing (2-wire and 4-wire).
▪
Pulsed I-V measurements using the Keithley Model 4200-PIV-A.
▪
Pulsed I-V measurements using the Keithley Model 4225-PMU with the 4225-RPM.
For C-V testing, this document applies to the 4200-CVU, 4210-CVU, and 4215-CVU cards. For pulsed
I-V testing, this guide also applies to the 4200-PG2, 4205-PG2, 4220-PGU, and 4225-PMU pulse
cards.
