The 2450 is Keithley’s next-generation SourceMeter source measure unit (SMU) instrument that truly brings Ohm’s law (current, voltage, and resistance) testing right to your fingertips. Its innovative graphical user interface (GUI) and advanced, capacitive touchscreen technology allow intuitive usage and minimize the learning curve to enable engineers and scientists to learn faster, work smarter, and invent easier. The 2450 is the SMU for everyone: a versatile instrument, particularly well-suited for characterizing modern scaled semiconductors, nano-scale devices and materials, organic semiconductors, printed electronics, and other small-geometry and low-power devices. All this combined with Keithley SMU precision and accuracy allows users to Touch, Test, Invent® with the new favorite go-to instrument in the lab for years to come.

Learn Faster, Work Smarter, and Invent Easier

Unlike conventional instruments with dedicated push-button technology and small, obscure, limited-character displays, the 2450 features a five-inch, full-color, high- resolution touchscreen that facilitates ease of use, learning, and optimizes overall speed and productivity.

A simple icon-based menu structure reduces configuration steps by as much as 50 percent and eliminates the cumbersome multi-layer menu structures typically used on soft-key instruments. Built-in, context-sensitive help enables intuitive operation and minimizes the need to review a separate manual. These capabilities combined with its application versatility make the 2450 the SMU instrument inherently easy to use for basic and advanced measurement applications, regardless of your experience level with SMU instruments.

Fourth-Generation, All-in-One SMU Instrument

The 2450 is the fourth-generation member of Keithley’s award-winning SourceMeter family of SMU instruments and leverages the proven capabilities of the 2400 SourceMeter SMU Instrument. It offers a highly flexible, four-quadrant voltage and current source/load coupled with precision voltage and current meters. This all-in-one instrument gives you the capabilities of a:

• Precision power supply with V and I readback
• True current source
• Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and power with 6½-digit resolution)
• Precision electronic load
• Trigger controller
