2461

The 2461, Keithley’s next-generation SourceMeter source measure unit, a 100V, 10A, 1000W instrument, truly brings Ohm’s law (current, voltage, and resistance) testing right to your fingertips. Its innovative GUI and advanced, capacitive touchscreen technology allow intuitive usage and minimize the learning curve to enable engineers and scientists to learn faster, work smarter, and invent easier. With its 10A/1000W pulse current and 7A/100W DC current capability combined with dual 18-bit 1MS/s digitizers, it is optimized for characterizing and testing high power materials, devices, and modules such as SiC, GaN, DC-DC converters, power MOSFETs, solar cells and panels, LEDs and lighting systems, electrochemical cells and batteries, and much more. These new capabilities, combined with Keithley’s decades of expertise in developing high precision, high accuracy SMU instruments, will make the 2461 a “go-to instrument” for high current applications in the lab and in the rack for years to come.
