TB-414X Specifications

These specifications apply to the TB-414X Screw Terminal Connector Kit for PXIe-414x (NI Part Number 787611-01).

Notice This device is intended for use only with the PXIe-4140, PXIe-4141, PXIe-4142, PXIe-4143, PXIe-4144, PXIe-4145, and PXIe-4147 SMUs, which are referred to collectively as PXIe-414x SMUs. For more information about the PXIe-414x SMUs, refer to ni.com/manuals.

Definitions

Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.

Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.

  • Typical specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
  • Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.

Specifications are Warranted unless otherwise noted.

Voltage, Current, and Resistance

Notice Refer to the specifications of the module with which you are using the TB-414X to note the maximum voltage and current ratings. The specifications listed below are the maximum for the TB-414X only.

Channel operating voltage[1]1 Maximum voltage measured between the HI, HI Sense, LO, LO Sense, or Guard terminals. SMU specifications take precedence if the SMU model is rated for lower voltage.

60 V DC

HI/LO pin current[2]2 SMU specifications take precedence if the SMU model is rated for lower current.

3 A

Note It is critical to ensure that the LO terminal for each channel in use is connected when the total current from all channels exceeds 3 A. The TB-414X is rated for the force pins carrying a maximum of 3 A average current, however, individual pin currents above 4 A may damage or degrade the lifespan of the pins. Systems that have a common path between the LO of each channel at the DUT end of the cable must ensure that LO path wiring resistances are matched within ±20% to prevent the LO terminal of one channel from carrying a significant portion of another channel’s LO current and exceeding the 4 A individual pin limit.

Force path resistance[3]3 Combined resistance in the HI and LO force traces and connectors for a channel of the TB-414X. Does not include any output resistance contributions of the SMU module or user wiring. Refer to SMU module specifications to determine if this resistance is included in the voltage load regulation specification or if it should be accounted for separately.

30 mΩ, typical

Leakage resistance[4]4 Applies between HI and LO terminals. Leakage performance may be degraded for operation above 70% relative humidity. When transitioning a device from a storage or operation environment with operating humidity above 70%, allow the device to stabilize in the lower humidity environment for several hours before use.

23 °C

>100 TΩ, typical

Isolation

Caution Isolation voltage ratings apply to the voltage measured between any channel pin and the chassis ground. When operating channels in series or floating on top of external voltage references, ensure that no terminal exceeds this rating.
Attention Les tensions nominales d'isolation s'appliquent à la tension mesurée entre n'importe quelle broche de voie et la masse du châssis. Lors de l'utilisation de voies en série ou flottantes en plus des références de tension externes, assurez-vous qu'aucun terminal ne dépasse cette valeur nominale.
Caution Do not connect the TB-414X to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Attention Ne connectez pas le TB-414X à des signaux et ne l'utilisez pas pour effectuer des mesures dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV.

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.

Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.

Isolation voltage, channel to earth ground[5]5 While TB-414X channels are isolated from each other, this isolation is considered functional isolation for the purpose of allowing the separation of return currents and is not intended to operate continuously under significant voltages or provide safety isolation. The TB-414X is intended for use with PXIe-414x SMUs which are isolated from earth ground, but share a common LO for all channels (bank isolation).
