Source Measure Units (SMU)

In addition to the classic electronic loads presented above, there is a group of devices similar in functionality, which are called calibrators-multimeters or Source Measure Units (SMU) - source-measuring devices. These devices are more expensive and significantly less powerful than electronic loads, but are great for applications where accuracy is very important: in scientific research and metrology laboratories. The table below shows the best models of these devices of the brand Keithley.

Help in choosing equipment

Choose and buy inexpensive and high-quality electronic load not always easy. When choosing a model, in addition to the standard parameters: voltage, current and power, additional aspects must be taken into account: operating modes (CV, CC, CR, CP), resolution (mV and mA), built-in overload protection (current, voltage, power, overheating and polarity), the presence of a battery and power source test mode, the ability to automatically work according to a list of setpoints, the possibility and convenience of programming, built-in digital interfaces, a set of additional functions, operating temperature range, quality and durability of the device, manufacturer's reputation, professionalism and reliability of the supplier, service availability, warranty period and much more. To simplify the process, you can use our experience and recommendations when choosing an electronic load. For this it's simple call us or write to us at E-mail and we will be happy to answer your questions.
