Voltage-boosted output, 5725A
Low Thermal EMF Test Leads [Note 1]
5730A-7002 (banana plugs) or
5730A-7003 (spade lugs)
(Output is at the Calibrator front panel.)
Current-boosted output, 5725A
16-gauge or heavier twisted pair insulated wire,
as short as possible to minimize resistance and
inductance. (Output is at the amplifier terminals.)
Current-boosted output, 52120A
Refer to the 52120A manual for cable
requirements.
[1] Spade lugs provide a slightly better thermal EMF performance. However, some UUTs have repressed
banana connectors that cannot accommodate spade lugs.
