The Keysight PX0106A is a D-sub 25-pin to SMB adapter that enables signal routing and connection management in precision test and measurement systems. It provides five SMB outputs from a single D-sub 25-pin input with path-through signal transmission. The adapter integrates force and sense lines for each channel, with internal connections between force and sense pairs to eliminate external wiring complexity and improve measurement accuracy in voltage and current delivery applications.
Technical Specifications
• Input Connector: D-sub 25-pin
• Output Connectors: 5 × SMB
• Signal Path: Path-through connection
• Force/Sense Configuration: Internally connected per channel
– Key Features
• Five independent SMB output channels from single D-sub input
• Integrated force and sense line pairs for each channel
• Path-through design ensures minimal signal degradation
• Internal force-sense connections reduce component count and wiring errors
• Direct signal transmission optimized for precision measurement applications
– Typical Applications
The PX0106A addresses demanding measurement scenarios where precise voltage and current delivery to the device under test is critical. Primary applications include source measure unit (SMU) systems requiring separate force and sense signal paths, test instrument interfacing where D-sub 25-pin outputs must connect to SMB-terminated test points, and laboratory system integration requiring flexible multichannel signal distribution.
– Compatibility & Integration
The adapter integrates with Keysight M9614A and M9615A measurement modules, as well as PZ2100 series SMU instruments including the PZ2130A and PZ2131A modules. Its D-sub to SMB conversion enables compatibility with systems designed around either connector standard while preserving force-sense measurement integrity across all five channels.
