Current Sensitive Preamplifier Price & Specs
Ametek / EG&G / Princeton Applied Research 181 Current Sensitive Preamplifier Description
Ametek Model 181 Current Sensitive Preamplifier is engineered for high-performance amplification of low-level current signals in demanding scientific and industrial applications. This specialized instrument, often found in setups by legacy brands like EG&G and Princeton Applied Research, provides a crucial interface for converting weak current outputs from various sensors and detectors into measurable voltage signals, enabling precise data acquisition. It plays a vital role in experimental physics, chemistry, and other research areas requiring sensitive current measurement. The Model 181 is designed to integrate seamlessly into complex measurement systems, enhancing the detection capabilities of downstream instrumentation. Its architecture provides a stable platform for amplifying extremely small currents, essential for applications where signal integrity is paramount. This preamplifier facilitates accurate current-to-voltage conversion in setups requiring high input impedance and low noise performance.
Functions
Low-noise, low-input-impedance transimpedance preamplifier converting extremely low detector or device currents to voltage with selectable sensitivities from 104 to 10? V/A, DC to ~200 kHz bandwidth, and single-ended virtual-ground input with adjustable negative bias for photodiodes or semiconductor devices. Provides high dynamic range for small AC signals in presence of large DC currents, main and monitor outputs for connection to lock-in amplifiers or measurement instruments, and operates from ±15/±24 V supplies in bench or system environments.

What Customers Are Saying
- Albert P.
I just want to thank you and the staff at Artisan for your prompt dispatch of the 34401A main board. I got it a couple of hrs. ago, removed the old board, installed the new and the result is as shown in the attachment. It not only works, but is calibrated to the last digit! I am very pleased and will definitely recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues. I really appreciate doing business with a firm that values service.
