Keithley 2401 Single Output Variable Bench DC Power Supply

The Keithley 2401 is a Single Output Variable Bench DC Power Supply/ Source Measuring Unit (SMU) from the 2400 Series.

This instrument has been designed specifically for test applications that demand tightly coupled sourcing and measurement. The 2401 provides precision voltage and current sourcing as well as measurement capabilities. The instrument is a true 6½-digit multimeter and a highly stable DC power source.

The power source characteristics include low noise, precision, and readback. The multimeter capabilities include high repeatability and low noise. The result is a compact, single channel, DC parametric tester. In operation, this instrument can act as a voltage source, a current source, a voltage meter, a current meter, and an ohmmeter.

Manufacturers of components and modules for the communications, semiconductor, computer, automotive, and medical industries will find this instrument invaluable for a wide range of characterisation and production test applications.
