The Agilent/Keysight 10218A is a BNC adapter designed to connect resistive divider probes to standard BNC connectors found on oscilloscopes and other test instruments. This accessory bridges compatible probe outputs with BNC-equipped instruments, preserving signal integrity across measurement chains in electronic testing environments.
Technical Specifications
The 10218A functions as a passive BNC adapter for resistive divider probe integration. It provides direct mechanical and electrical coupling between probe connectors and standard BNC inputs without active signal conditioning.
– Key Features
• Connects resistive divider probes to BNC connectors
• Maintains signal path integrity for accurate measurements
• Passive adapter design with no active components
• Compatible with Keysight and Agilent test equipment featuring BNC inputs
– Typical Applications
The 10218A supports oscilloscope-based measurements where resistive divider probes—such as the HP 10020A—require BNC connectivity. This adapter enables probing workflows in general-purpose electronic testing, circuit characterization, and signal acquisition tasks that demand reliable signal coupling.
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for use with resistive divider probe models and instruments equipped with BNC connectors. The adapter integrates into existing Keysight and Agilent measurement systems without requiring additional configuration or accessories.
