Solartron Metrology 12609517A Impedance Gain Phase Analyzer Board Module

Solartron Metrology 12609517A Impedance Gain Phase Analyzer Board Module is a high-precision measurement board designed to plug into Solartron's impedance/gain-phase analyzer system, enabling detailed impedance, gain, and phase measurements of electrical materials and devices. As part of the 1260/1260A family, the board supports a single-sine drive and analysis across a broad frequency range—down to microhertz up to the tens of megahertz—with input integration for harmonic and noise rejection and a sweep option that can vary frequency, amplitude, or bias during data collection. It delivers comprehensive voltage and current transfer characteristics, including impedance and admittance, and can present results in polar or Cartesian coordinates, with derived quantities such as inductance or capacitance alongside resistance, quality factor, or dissipation factor for both series and parallel configurations. In electrochemical and materials research, the 1260 family is commonly used for impedance spectroscopy of batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, corrosion studies, and electronic components; when paired with a compatible potentiostat (notably the 1287A in the Solartron ecosystem), it enables high-precision electrochemical impedance measurements from 10 μHz to 1 MHz. Software support includes ZPlot, ZView, and SMaRT, enabling data capture, plotting, and advanced analysis within familiar workflows. The 12609517A board thus represents a specialized front end within Solartron Metrology’s impedance analysis toolkit, offering accurate frequency response and impedance characterization capabilities for researchers and developers working on electrical materials and components.
