7158
Low Current Scanner Card
10-channel
The Model 7158 provides quality low-current
switching at an affordable price . The offset
current error generated is specified <1pA, with
typical performance at <30fA . When used with a
voltage source and electrometer or picoammeter,
this card can easily automate insulation resistance
tests, reverse leakage tests on semiconductor
junctions, or gate leakage tests on FETs .

7158
low Current
scanner Card
The Model 7158 is designed to maintain the
current path even when the channel is deselected .
Input connectors are BNC for shielding of the
sensitive measurements and for compatibility with
low noise coaxial cables such as Keithley accessory
cables Models 4801 and 4803 . Two outputs are
provided to allow for chaining several scanner
cards to one measurement instrument, and an
isolation relay in the output HI minimizes interac-
tion between cards .
CHANNELS PER CARD:
10 .
CONTACT CONFIGURATION:
Single pole, simultaneous break
and make for signal HI input . Signal LO is common for all 10
channels and output . When a channel is off, signal HI is con-
nected to signal LO .
CONNECTOR TyPE:
BNC .
RELAy DRIVE CURRENT:
100mA per card typical (regardless
of channel closures selected) .
MAXIMUM SIGNAL LEVEL:
30V, 100mA peak (resistive load) .

7168
Nanovolt Scanner Card
8-channel, 2-pole
The Model 7168 is an 8-channel, 2-pole card
with <30nV of thermal offset . It will switch any
one of eight signals to one output in less than
3ms . Channel offset leakage current is <50pA
at 23°C . When the 7168 is used with the Model
2182A, the noise and drift performance of the
2182A is not degraded .
CHANNELS PER CARD:

CONTACT POTENTIAL (HI to LO) BETWEEN CHANNELS:
<30nV when properly zeroed with supplied leads (see manual
for recommended procedure) . Typically <60nV without
zeroing .
