The Agilent/Keysight 3465B is a 4½-digit digital multimeter engineered for precise DC and AC measurements across benchtop and field environments. This manual-ranging instrument delivers midrange DC accuracy of ±0.02% ±1 digit, with autopolarity and autozero functionality standard. An optional touch-hold probe allows measurement retention for hands-free operation.
Technical Specifications
DC Voltage: Full-scale ranges from 20 mV to 1000 V; 20 mV range provides 1 µV resolution. Additional ranges: 100 mV, 1 V, 10 V, 100 V.
AC Voltage: 40 Hz to 20 kHz measurement capability.
DC Current: Resolution to 10 nA.
AC Current: Resolution to 10 nA across supported ranges.
Resistance: 200 Ω to 20 MΩ coverage with 10 mΩ maximum resolution. Ranges include 200 Ω, 2 kΩ, 20 kΩ, 200 kΩ, 2000 kΩ, and 20 MΩ. Open-circuit voltage limited to 5 V on the most sensitive ohms range, protecting semiconductor devices during test.
Accuracy: ±0.02% ±1 digit at midrange DC.
– Key Features
• Manual ranging with autopolarity correction
• Autozero for baseline offset elimination
• Touch-hold probe compatibility for measurement retention
• Compact streamlined plastic case with carrying handle
• Multiple power options: rechargeable Nicad batteries with internal charger, alkaline D cells (≈60 hours continuous operation), AC line power, or external DC supply via calculator battery chargers
– Typical Applications
Field service and bench troubleshooting requiring stable, manual-controlled measurements. Low-voltage analog circuit characterization. Semiconductor device testing where limited ohms-range voltage is critical.
– Compatibility & Integration
This instrument operates independently without network or USB connectivity. The touch-hold probe accessory extends measurement workflow flexibility for single-handed operation in confined spaces.
