AVR-EB4-B Semiconductor Test Pulser

The AVR-EB series was designed for MIL-STD-750E diode switching time tests. The AVR-EB4-B is intended for reverse recovery testing of high-speed power rectifiers. The similar AVR-EB5-B is intended for more specialized reverse recovery testing of long-lifetime high-voltage PIN diodes, and the AVR-EB7-B is intended for low-current small-signal diodes. The current waveforms generated by these instruments are suitable for MIL-STD-750E Method 4031.4 Test Condition B tests.

Base Model P/N Price Notes
Semiconductor Test Pulser AVR-EB4-B
$15680
Base model. Units with the -B suffix include the IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 computer control feature and a 2m/6ft GPIB cable. Includes one AVX-TRR-MIX test jig, unless otherwise specified.
Connectivity Options
Ethernet port, for remote control using VXI-11.3, ssh, telnet, and web -VXI $0 Option. Standard feature for orders after Jan 14, 2019 - it is no longer necessary to specify this option. Adds a rear-panel Ethernet connector, allowing the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. In particular, the VXI-11.3 features allows software like LabView to control an instrument using standard VISA communications drivers and network cabling, instead of using old-style GPIB cabling. (This eliminates the need for a GPIB controller card and its proprietary drivers.).
Extra Documentation
Provide a Certificate of Conformance -CC1 $106 Option.
Provide an installed IUID-format label -ID1 $106 Option. Label only. Does not include data registration. Records the manufacturer CAGE code, the instrument serial number, and the model number.
Miscellaneous Options
Rack Mount Kit -R5 $322 Option. For 17-inch-wide models only. Check datasheet for instrument dimensions. (All -B units are 17 inches).
Extra GPIB cable, 1 meter -X1 $53 Option.
Extra GPIB cable, 2 meters -X2 $75 Option.
Extra GPIB cable, 4 meters -X4 $97 Option.
Test Jig Configuration
Axial no-bend test jig -AXPOST $0 Option. Suitable for low-to-medium current reverse recovery tests. Replaces earlier -ANB design.
DO214AC test jig -DO214AC $1728 Option. Accepts DO214AC type SMT packages in a Loranger 03481 101 6218 socket.
High-current low-inductance axial test jig -HPOST $0 Option. Suitable for low-to-high current reverse recovery tests, and forward recovery tests. Replaces earlier -ANB design.
Loranger socket for axial devices -LORAX $0 Option. Uses a Loranger 03186 021 6215 socket for the DUT. Only suitable for reverse recovery tests due to relatively high inductance.
MIX jig, with a variety of pin sockets -MIX $0 Option. Provides a mix of pin sockets to accept leaded devices. Leading bending required.
SOD123 test jig -SOD123 $1728 Option. Accepts SOD123 type SMT packages.
SOD123W jig -SOD123W $1728 Option. Accepts SOD123W type SMT packages.

Shipping Case
ATA shipping case -ATA3 $1398 Option. Ships the instrument in a heavy-duty ATA-style transport case, instead of the normal cardboard box. It can also serve as a storage case. This option is recommended for shipments outside of North America and Europe, and is mandatory when using a freight-forwarder or when shipping by any method other than FedEx/UPS. It is strongly recommended for all shipments to China. Pelican model 1690 for full-rack-width (17 inch / 430 mm) units, including all -B units. Pelican model 1610 for half-rack-width (8.5 inch / 215 mm) units. This option increases the shipping weight by 45 lbs / 20 kg (1690) or 24 lbs / 11 kg (1610).
