Description
The 16092A spring Clip Fixture is used for measurement of both axial and radial lead
components and lead-less chip elements. Spring clip contacts are capable of holding
samples of dimensions given below:
Figure 1-2
A combined slide gauge provides direct readouts of the physical length of the sample
tested.
Usable frequency range: DC to 500 MHz
Electrical Length: 0.34cm (typ.).
Maximum Voltage:
±
40V peak max. (AC + DC)
NOTE A special skirted grounding terminator is furnished with the 16092A spring Clip Fixture.
The terminator provides an optimum shorting configuration between the High terminal and
ground of the test fixture. When the test fixture is short-circuited, the residual resistance
and inductance of the fixture terminal can be measured in the L-R(inductance-series
resistance) mode of the 4191A using the following procedure.
Remove the slide clip contact (twin clip contact) assembly from the test fixture deck.
Attach (screw) the special grounding electrode, with its concave slide down to test fixture
positive contact post. Under this condition, the residual inductance and resistance are
displayed on DISPLAY A and DISPLAY B, respectively.
The left and right spring clip assemblies on the 16092A spring Clip Fixture are composed
of the same parts and are assembled and disassembled in the same way as shown in the
figure.
