• For use with models 2601B, 2602B, 2611B, 2612B SourceMeter Instruments
• Stand-alone, self-powered module
• Provides fast transient (< 100 µs) current spike limiting and overvoltage (> 220 V) clamping for use in current and voltage-sensitive devices and applications
• Maximum DC voltage (V): 220 V (Hi to Lo)
• Maximum DC current (I): 0.5 A up to 20 V maximum (SMU panel Force Hi to Lo 2-wire mode)

The Model 2600B-PM-2 Protection Module is a stand-alone, self-powered module that provides fast transient (< 100 µs) current spike limiting and overvoltage (> 220 V) clamping for use in current and voltage-sensitive devices and applications.

The protection module is designed for use with the following source-measure units (SMUs):

•  Model 2601B Single-Channel System SourceMeter Instrument
•  Model 2602B Dual-Channel System SourceMeter Instrument
•  Model 2611B Single-Channel System SourceMeter Instrument
•  Model 2612B Dual-Channel System SourceMeter Instrument

The protection module is intended for use in applications where a device or interconnection current, voltage breakdown, or other potential signal level failure could result in damage to the device under test.

Specifications and characteristics are typical and subject to change without notice.

Maximum DC current (I): 0.5 A up to 20 V maximum (SMU panel Force Hi to Lo 2-wire mode)

Maximum current (I) pulse/duty cycle: 0.75 A (up to 20 V maximum)

• Maximum on time: 30 ms
• Minimum off time: 70 ms
• Maximum 30% duty cycle, 10 Hz to 500 Hz cycle

Mounting location: Rear panel with support bracket or in line, standard Model 2601/02/11/12B connector

• Supplied support bracket reversible for CH 1 and CH 2 use with Model 2602/12B dual-channel SMUs
