Vektrex

Vektrex

Vektrex Electronic Systems is a U.S.-based manufacturer of precision source measure units (SMUs) designed for pulsed high-current testing applications. The company focuses on instruments for LED and solid-state lighting characterization, semiconductor device testing, and component burn-in. Vektrex SMUs are engineered for fast-pulse operation, offering programmable current and voltage sourcing with simultaneous measurement capabilities.

Vektrex instruments support nanosecond to microsecond pulse widths and high peak current levels, enabling characterization of LEDs, laser diodes, and power semiconductors under realistic operating conditions without inducing thermal stress from continuous DC drive.

Key Product Lines

• High-Current SMUs — pulsed source measure units delivering high peak currents for LED forward voltage, luminous flux, and efficiency characterization
• Precision SMUs — low-noise instruments for accurate characterization of sensitive semiconductor and optoelectronic components
• Automated Test Systems — integrated solutions for production-line testing, binning, and burn-in of LEDs and optoelectronic devices

Industries Served

Vektrex instruments are used in LED manufacturing quality control, solid-state lighting R&D, semiconductor wafer-level testing, and optoelectronics research. Applications span consumer electronics, automotive lighting, horticultural lighting, and industrial LED production where accurate pulsed current characterization is required.
