Component tests up to 125 A DC bias current
To evaluate components at high currents the 3265B/25A DC Bias
Units may be used with either the Wayne Kerr 3255B Inductance
Analyzer or the 3260B Precision Magnetics Analyzer. Bias current may
be set from 25mA to 25A in steps of 25mA. These units may not be
used with a 3255BL.
Additional DC Bias Units can be added in parallel such that with
five units connected in parallel it is possible to set bias currents
up to a maximum of 125 A DC. For extended frequency, up to 3 MHz,
50A is available when two 3265BQs are used.
5A, 10A and 20A models are available which may be connected in
parallel to give up to five times the maximum rated DC bias
current.
The instruments have a number of safety and protection features
including a safety interlock system to protect the user against back
EMFs. It is also fully protected against over temperature, excess
voltage drop and sense lead failure.
3265B/25A DC Bias Unit can deliver up to 25 A of
DC bias current in steps of 25mA
SMD inductor tests up to 50 A
With the addition of the 1009 DC Bias Fixture DC bias currents up
to 50 A can be applied to an SMD inductor during component test in
order to evaluate the devices thoroughly at the operational bias
currents.
The fixture operates with either one or two 3265B Wayne Kerr DC
bias units and a 3260B Precision Magnetics Analyzer. The optional
1009 50A lead set, 5-328-2005, will be required if two 3265B/25As
are used.
Four rear panel mounted BNC connectors and two captive high
current cables ensure simplicity and ease of use with the 3265B.
Interchangeable component test carriers ensure that the 1009 DC
Bias Fixture may be used with a wide variety of devices. If a device
package is not supported by one of the standard carriers then a
custom carrier design service is available.
1009 DC Bias Fixture enables currents up to 50 A
to be applied to an SMD inductor
Stable component fixturing ensures high accuracy and repeatable
measurements. Enclosed fixtures, with safety interlocks, minimises
risk to operators.
