The AVR-EB series was designed for MIL-STD-750E diode switching time tests. The AVR-EB2A-B is intended for reverse recovery testing of high-speed low-current switching diodes. The current waveforms generated by these instruments are suitable for MIL-STD-750E Method 4031.4 Test Condition A tests.

Prices - USA and Canada
Standard US/Canada prices are listed below. We can also provide you with a formal quote. Please note that this item is subject to export controls.
| Base Model | P/N | Price | Notes |
| Semiconductor Test Pulser | AVR-EB2A-B |
$15680 |
Base model. Units with the -B suffix include the IEEE-488.2 GPIB, VXI, and RS-232 computer control feature, and a 2m/6ft GPIB cable. Includes one AVX-CA-AXPOST test jig, unless otherwise specified. |
| Production status: last-time order date is January 31, 2025. | |||
| Connectivity Options | |||
| Ethernet port, for remote control using VXI-11.3, ssh, telnet, and web | -VXI | $0 | Option. Standard feature for orders after Jan 14, 2019 - it is no longer necessary to specify this option. Adds a rear-panel Ethernet connector, allowing the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. In particular, the VXI-11.3 features allows software like LabView to control an instrument using standard VISA communications drivers and network cabling, instead of using old-style GPIB cabling. (This eliminates the need for a GPIB controller card and its proprietary drivers.). |
| Extra Documentation | |||
| Provide a Certificate of Conformance | -CC1 | $106 | Option. |
| Provide an installed IUID-format label | -ID1 | $106 | Option. Label only. Does not include data registration. Records the manufacturer CAGE code, the instrument serial number, and the model number. |
| Miscellaneous Options | |||
| Rack Mount Kit | -R5 | $322 | Option. For 17-inch-wide models only. Check datasheet for instrument dimensions. (All -B units are 17 inches). |
| Extra GPIB cable, 1 meter | -X1 | $53 | Option. |
| Extra GPIB cable, 2 meters | -X2 | $75 | Option. |
| Extra GPIB cable, 4 meters | -X4 | $97 | Option. |

It is strongly recommended for all shipments to China. Pelican model 1690 for full-rack-width (17 inch / 430 mm) units, including all -B units. Pelican model 1610 for half-rack-width (8.5 inch / 215 mm) units. This option increases the shipping weight by 45 lbs / 20 kg (1690) or 24 lbs / 11 kg (1610). |
| Shipping Method | |||
| Ship to USA or Canada, on Avtech FedEx Priority account | $0 | Included in base price. | |
| Ship globally, on customer FedEx or UPS account | $0 | Excludes Austria, China, The Czech and Slovak Republics, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey. Consult your local representative for pricing. | |
| Ship globally, on Avtech FedEx Priority account | Contact Avtech for pricing. | Excludes the above countries. | |
| Ship globally, using a customer-specified freight forwarder | Contact Avtech for pricing. | Excludes the above countries. Not recommended. Due to the increased likelihood of shipping damage, the -ATA3 option (heavy-duty ATA shipping case) is mandatory for -PS, -C, and -B models. | |
These prices are in U.S. dollars, and apply only to orders placed directly with Avtech from the United States and Canada. Reseller prices may be higher. A 5% academic discount is available for North American universities. Orders are non-cancellable, non-returnable.
