Wayne Kerr 3260B

Specification summary

Printed output of test results

Using the parallel Centronics interface the user can directly print test results including graphs for further analysis and archiving.

In addition, via the IEEE488 GPIB interface, the instrument can be controlled from a PC and results can be read back for analysis and storage. LabVIEW™ drivers are available upon request or may be downloaded from this website providing a base from which a user can develop a specific test application.

Bin sort

The bin sorting function allows component manufacturers to sort components in up to ten bins. Sorting is carried out either by absolute values or by percentage of values.

Component tests with up to 125 A DC bias current

3265B DC Bias Unit is used can deliver up to 25 A of DC bias current in steps of 0.025 A

To evaluate components at high currents up to 125 A the optional 3265B DC Bias Unit is used.

25 A of DC bias current can be set in steps of 25 mA with one unit whilst up to five units can be used in parallel to give up to 125 A DC bias current. The standard 3260B Precision Magnetics Analyzer can provide an internal DC bias from 25 mA to 1 A.

The 3265B has 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.

SMD inductor tests up to 50 A

1009 DC Bias Fixture enables currents up to 50 A to be applied to an SMD inductor

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 one or two 3265B Wayne Kerr DC bias units and a 3260B Precision Magnetics Analyzer.

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.

Stable component fixturing ensures high accuracy and repeatable measurements. Enclosed fixtures, with safety interlocks, minimises risk to operators.
