This unit
The Keithley 7156 General Purpose Scanner Card is a signal-routing component for automated test and data-acquisition systems integrated with Keithley 7000 Series switch/control mainframes. It has configurable channel density and fast switching to support multi-point measurement and signal-path control across laboratory and production environments.
Technical Specifications Channel Configuration
10 channels (2-pole mode) or 20 channels (1-pole mode)
2-pole Form A relay contact configuration
37-pin D-sub connector interface Relay & Switching Performance
Relay drive current: 30 mA (7156-D) or 50 mA (7156-M)
Actuation time: Less than 2 ms (exclusive of mainframe)
Contact resistance: Less than 2 Ω to rated life
Contact potential: Less than 100 µV per contact pair; typically less than 50 µV Signal Handling
Maximum signal level: 150 V, 250 mA, 10 VA peak (resistive load)
Contact life: 10⁸ closures (cold switching); 10⁷ closures (at maximum signal level)
Key Features
Dual relay-drive options accommodate different mainframe architectures
Low contact resistance and millivolt-level potential drop suit precision measurement applications
Fast sub-2 ms switching enables high-throughput automated test sequences
Extended contact life under cold-switching conditions supports long-term production use
Typical Applications
General switching and test configuration
High and low current testing
High and low voltage measurement
Temperature measurement
High-frequency and RF testing
Compatibility & Integration The 7156 inserts into Keithley 7000 Series switch/control mainframes and integrates with DMM and SourceMeter® instruments for coordinated measurement and switching control.
