Keithley 2440-C SourceMeter
The Keithley 2440-C SourceMeter is an advanced testing solution tailored for applications requiring precise sourcing and measurement. This powerful device combines the precision of a high-stability DC power source with the advanced capabilities of a 5-1/2 digit instrument-grade multimeter, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Engineered for versatility, the Keithley 2440-C offers low noise, precision voltage and current sourcing along with exceptional measurement accuracy. It operates as a voltage source, current source, voltage meter, current meter, and ohmmeter, making it ideal for manufacturers in the communications, semiconductor, computer, automotive, and medical sectors.
This SourceMeter's dynamic range supports a variety of applications, including testing high-power pump lasers for optical amplifiers, laser bar testing, and other high-power component evaluations. With a 5A source and measurement capability, it seamlessly integrates into the Keithley L-I-V Test System, proving invaluable for design and production testing.
One standout feature is the Contact Check function, which enhances test integrity by confirming connections within just 350 microseconds before initiating an automated test sequence. This ensures the elimination of measurement errors and mitigates false product failures caused by contact fatigue, contamination, or any connection-related issues.
