Keithley 2400 Series Source Meter, ±200 mV → ±40 V, 1-Channel, ±10 μA → ±5 A, 50 W Output

The Keithley SourceMeter Series 2400 offers the combination of low cost, tightly integrated sourcing and measurement, and wide dynamic range. This makes the Series 2400 models well suited for benchtop and system applications with low voltage requirements and with limited test hardware budgets. Principal applications include high brightness LED forward/reverse I-V and LIV (light-current-voltage) testing, solar cell efficiency test (source and sink current) and precision DC load characterisation - replacing readback supplies or supply/DMM combinations, which typically provide insufficient accuracy (IDDQ testing). Other applications include: active/passive component test, voltage/current/resistance measurements; battery operation validation for portable electronic devices; characterising implantable medical devices (e.g. pacemakers); characterising low-leakage electronic device/circuits (forward/reverse, transistor gain/leakage); calibrating 3- to 4-digit data acquisition boards, meters and DMMs.

Calibration services available for this product. Choose from a Standard Certificated Service or an internationally recognised UKAS accredited calibration
LEGACY PRODUCT: For new applications and designs, Keithley recommends you consider using the newer graphical model 2450

All SourceMeter instruments provide 4-quadrant operation. In the 1st and 3rd quadrants, they operate as a source, delivering power to a load. In the 2nd and 4th quadrants, they operate as a sink - dissipating power internally. Voltage, current and resistance can be measured during source or sink operation.
