Model 4210-MMPC-W
Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit
PA-1085 Rev. B November 2023 *PPA-1085B* 1
Overview
The Keithley Model 4210-MMPC-W multi-measurement prober cable kit provides a collection of matched
connection accessories. When properly installed, these accessories have the performance needed that allow
current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V), and pulsed I-V parametric characterization measurements to be
made using a single prober cable setup. This kit is for use with a Wentworth prober.
This prober cable kit requires the Keithley Articulated Arm (Wentworth part number 2026-96509). Contact your
Wentworth representative to obtain the necessary manipulator arm and instructions.
This document contains information about the installation and use of this cable kit:

Model 4200A-SCS instrument connections
To prevent injury or death due to electric shock, remove all power from the 4200A-SCS and
shut down the Wentworth prober before installing the prober cable kit.
Connect the Model 4200A-SCS instruments to the triaxial jacks on the prober bulkhead. See the following figure
for an example.

I-V testing
For I-V testing, connect the triaxial cables of the 4200A-SCS source-measure units (SMUs) to the standard
triaxial jacks on the bulkhead. The following figure shows the prober connections for two SMUs.
The 4200A-SCS to prober portion of the following figure shows SMUs that do not use preamplifiers.
These SMUs use triaxial cables that are terminated with a miniature triaxial connector on one end and
a standard triaxial connector on the other end. These cables are supplied with the 4200A-SCS. If your
SMUs are equipped with preamplifiers, use the supplied cables that are terminated with standard
triaxial connectors on both ends. The cable diagrams after the following figure show both cables.

C-V testing
You need two prober cable kits to connect the subminiature version A (SMA) cables of the CVU to the triaxial
jacks on the bulkhead of the prober. The following figure shows how to make the connections. Use the torque
wrench supplied with the 4200A-SCS to tighten the SMA connections to 8 in. lb.

Prober bulkhead to prober pin connections
The following figure shows the basic cable setup for the 2-pin I-V and 2-pin C-V testing scenarios described in this
document. The 4-pin I-V and 4-pin C-V testing scenarios require minor setup changes. Pulsed I-V setup, which is
more complex, is described in Usage scenarios (on page 9).
This setup requires two 4210-MMPC-W kits.

Installation guidelines
The following figure shows the prober cable assemblies of two 4210-MMPC-W kits installed in a
Wentworth prober.
To secure the cable assembly to the manipulator:
1. Secure each blue triaxial cable (2) to a manipulator using a single mounting screw (item 1 in the
following figure).

3. Route the blue cables along the sides of the manipulators as shown in the previous figure.
When routing the wires, consider the possible movements of the manipulators and the movements of
the camera or microscope.
4. Connect a black jumper (item 3) from one cable assembly to the other.
5. Insert the jumper plugs into the ends of the assembly blocks (4). It is good practice to install the second
jumper to improve the connection and is a good place to store the extra jumper (not shown in the figure).
6. Connect the cable wires of the cable assemblies (item 1 in the following figure) to the probe tips (2).

7. For each pin, connect the triaxial cable assemblies (3) to the supplied adapters (4).
8. Connect the triaxial cable assemblies (5) to the triaxial connectors on the bulkhead panel (6).

Usage scenarios
The following usage scenarios provide information on how to set up 2-pin and 4-pin I-V tests, 2-pin and 4-pin C-V
tests, and pulsed I-V tests.
I-V testing: 2-pin I-V setup
The setup for 2-pin I-V testing requires two prober cable kits.
To perform 2-pin I-V testing, connect two 4200-SMUs or 4210-SMUs to the prober bulkhead and then use the
setup shown in the following figure as a guide to connect to the device under test (DUT). The figure shows typical
triaxial SMU connections to the outside of the bulkhead.

I-V testing: 4-pin I-V setup
The setup for 4-pin I-V testing requires four prober cable kits.
With four SMUs connected to the prober bulkhead, use the setup shown in the following graphic to perform 4-pin
I V testing. The figure in I-V testing (on page 4) shows two SMUs connected to one of the bulkhead connection
panels. Connect two additional SMUs to the other bulkhead connection panel.
