J2131A DC Bias Source

Inductor measurement under bias is essential for properly characterizing the series inductors. The J2131A Inductor Bias system allows you to perform this test accurately and quickly using any VNA or oscilloscope with FRA features using the popular 2-port shunt-through impedance measurement.

Key Features
  • High current DC Bias Source for measuring inductors
  • DC Bias Source is 0-125Amps (from a 5A power supply input)
  • Uses the 2-port shunt- through measurement to compute value over frequency and DC bias
  • Multiple levels of protection for inductor disconnects
  • Measure inductors from nH to 1uH

Note
Excessive overheating of the inductor can desolder it from the mount. This or breakage of the inductor can damage the instrument. 

USE ONLY PICOTEST INDUCTOR MOUNTS. DO NOT OPERATE MORE THAN 10 MIN AT 125 AMPS.

To avoid equipment damage and/or severe injuries or death ensure that the absolute maximum ratings are observed and not exceeded at all times.
