B1505A Power Device Analyzer/Curve Tracer Creating Custom Socket Modules for Packaged Power Devices

PublishTime：2021-03-25

The Keysight Technologies B1505A Power Device Analyzer/Curve Tracer is a total solution for power device measurement, providing superb measurement accuracy and resolution, high voltage and current sourcing capability (up to 3000 V and 20 A), and an easy-to-use MS Windows based software environment.Measurement environment safety is extremely important for power device characterization because the high voltages and currents used can cause serious injury and are even potentially fatal. To prevent this Keysight offers the N1259A packaged part test fixture for use with the B1505A. The N1259A is equipped with an interlock function that does not allow the B1505A to force more than 42 V unless the fixture lid is closed. Keysight also supplies an inline package socket module (N1259A-010) with the N1259A that allows you to measure TO-220 and TO-3P type packaged power devices safely. However, although these package types are widely-used for power devices, surface mount device (SMD) style packages are becoming increasingly popular for power transistors. Obviously, the N1259A-010 socket module cannot be used to test these types of power devices.To meet this need, the Keysight B1505A also supports the universal socket module (N1259A-011) shown in igure 1. The N1259A-011 allows you to develop a custom socket module to measure the package type of your choice.This product note describes the procedure to develop custom socket modules to measure packaged power devices other than TO-220 and TO-3P with the Keysight B1505A.
