The Agilent/Keysight 16373A is a component test fixture engineered for impedance analysis of electronic components. It provides a stable, reliable connection interface that minimizes measurement errors through consistent contact geometry and low-resistance pathways. The fixture accommodates both surface-mount and leaded devices, delivering accurate and repeatable impedance characterization across component types.
Technical Specifications
The 16373A facilitates measurement of impedance and related parameters including L-R and C-R configurations. Connection to the impedance analyzer is established through standard coaxial connectors or dedicated interfaces. Contact resistance is minimized to support precision impedance measurements, while high insulation resistance between contacts and ground prevents leakage currents that would compromise measurement fidelity.
– Key Features
• Stable connection interface for reliable component-to-analyzer coupling
• Low contact resistance design for accurate impedance characterization
• High insulation resistance to eliminate parasitic leakage paths
• Supports measurement of impedance and derived parameters (L-R, C-R)
• Accommodates both surface-mount devices (SMDs) and leaded components
• Compact benchtop construction with accessible terminals and component deck
– Typical Applications
The fixture enables impedance analysis of passive and active components across a range of frequency bands. Keysight impedance analyzers paired with this fixture operate from 300 kHz to 14 GHz or 20 GHz depending on analyzer model, allowing characterization across DC through microwave frequency ranges.
– Compatibility & Integration
The 16373A is designed for use with Agilent/Keysight impedance analyzer families. It interfaces through standard coaxial connectors or manufacturer-specific dedicated interfaces. Component connection modules support different package geometries and lead configurations, enabling flexible test setup for diverse component types.
