2.2.2 Hook

Terminals

The hook terminal provides a good contact to the binding post and can be used anytime.
The maximum wire gauge should be limited to AWG10.

2.2.3

Direct Insertion into Binding Posts

This is the most convenient way to connect the load input to the DUT. The maximum wire
gauge AWG14 can be used in this application.

2.2.4 Plug

Connectors

and Hook Terminals

This method is recommended when input current is greater than 20A or long lead wires.

2.2.5 Plug

Connectors

and Direct Insertion

This method is also recommended when input current is greater than 20A or long lead wires.
A major consideration in making input connection is the wire size. The minimum wire size is
required to prevent overheating and to maintain good regulation.

Note:

SLD-series dual Electronic Load's Channel A and Channel B Load input connector has
common connections, this means the ground common point (Black binding post) for
Channel A and B is wired together.

• 2 positive (+) load modules should be used for two positive output power supply test

applications

• one positive (+) one negative (-) load module should be used for one positive (+) one

negative (-) output power supply test application

• 2 negative (-) load modules should be used for two negative output power supply test

applications,

However, each Dual DC Electronic Load module common input is isolated to the other
Load module, therefore, please make a polarity combination consideration for power
supply and the Dual Load module. See Figure 1-9 to Figure 1-11.
