1Introduction to the L4400 Series LXI Instruments

Interconnection Solutions Overview

Depending on your specific requirements, you can connect your DUT

to the L4400 LXI instrument using the following optional interconnection solutions. See the L4400 series Product Data Sheets for additional information. The data sheets can be located on the Web at:

www.agilent.com/find/L4400

Terminal Blocks Detachable terminal blocks are available for most of the L4400 series instruments and offer a flexible method for connecting external wiring (300V rated). Each terminal block is customized for a specific module.

Ordering Information: 349xxT(e.g., 34921T, 34937T, etc.)

Shielded Cables Standard cables are available for 50- pin D- sub and

78- pin D- sub connectors. Depending on the module and your specific requirements, one or two cables may be required per module.

Ordering Information:
