The Keysight/Agilent 16089A is a 940mm Kelvin/Alligator Clip Lead has been designed to operate specifically with the LCR Meter and impedance analyzers. The device makes it possible to measure odd-shaped components that cannot be measured with conventional test fixtures. The device consists of a direct attachment, four-terminal-pair type test leads that are equipped with two insulated Kelvin clips.
The Kelvin Clip lead is equipped with two large Kelvin clips. It has an inherent stray capacitance, residual inductance, and residual resistance that affect the measurement. To cancel the effects caused by these residuals and thus minimize their effect on measurement accuracy, the measurement instruments OPEN and SHORT compensation capabilities must be used.
