  • Page 13 Attaching a Socket Module onto HP 16442A Test Fixture After choosing correct socket module for DUT, install the socket module into HP 16442A. The following figure shows how to attach socket module to HP 16442A. Use the following procedure to attach the socket module: 1.
  • Page 14 Three universal socket modules and a blank Teflon board module for uniquely shaped devices. 1. Non-Kelvin Connections Use connection cables to connect the FORCE terminals on HP 16442A to the FORCE terminals on the socket module. 2. Kelvin Connections Socket Modules for Power Devices The three socket modules for power devices have separate FORCE and SENSE terminals for Kelvin connections.
  • Page 15 Figure 1-3, use miniature banana—pin plug connection cables to connect both FORCE and SENSE terminals of HP 16442A to the FORCE terminal on the socket module as follows: insert one pin plug into the FORCE terminal of the socket module, then insert the other pin plug into the tail hole of the inserted pin plug.
  • Page 16 Note that hydrochloric acid residue deposited by solder may cause electrical problems. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you solder the wiring on the universal board using low hydrochloric acid solder (HP part number: 8090-0433). Do not use the universal socket module for low-current measurements (less than 1 nA) that require low leakage current.

  • Page 17: Maintenance

    Performing test Servicing Cleaning HP 16442A Test Fixture To maintain high performance, HP 16442A must be kept clean. Oil, perspiration, hair, dust, and dirt degrade board insulation, which increases leakage current and decreases measurement accuracy. Hewlett-Packard recommends the following cleaning procedure: Chassis, lid, inner plate, and socket modules: 1.
  • Page 18 This section provides information for trained service personnel to repair the test fixture. ”Replaceable Parts” provides the HP part numbers of replaceable parts. When a part needs to be replaced, order the parts from the nearest HP Sales and Service Office.
  • Page 19 Figure 1-4. Removing the Bottom Cover When wiring the test fixture and socket modules, use low hydrochloric acid solder (HP part number: 8090-0433) to prevent the flux in the solder from spreading unnecessarily. When soldering, make sure the terminals do not make contact with each other. After soldering, make sure that there are no lint bridges so that leakage current is minimal.
