Keithley Model 8011 — High‑current device test socket kit for SourceMeter instruments; designed for pulsed currents up to 50 A and voltages up to 40 V, and includes dedicated device and current test boards (8011‑DTB, 8011‑CTB) with cables and connectors for TO‑247 and axial‑lead parts
The Model 8011 High‑Current Test Socket Kit is a purpose‑built fixture for characterizing high‑power discrete devices when used with Keithley/Tektronix SourceMeter SMU instruments (notably the 2600A Series and the 2651A High‑Power SourceMeter). It is intended to simplify connections, protect low‑power instruments in multi‑SMU setups, and support pulsed test regimes for power semiconductors and axial components.
Electrical capabilities and limits
• Pulse current capability: designed to support up to 50 A pulsed when paired with appropriate SourceMeter instruments.
• Voltage rating: supports device test voltages up to 40 V in typical high‑current test scenarios.
• Protection: the fixture and associated wiring are arranged to isolate and protect lower‑power SMUs from high‑voltage/high‑current faults during multi‑instrument tests.
