The HP/Agilent 16092A Spring Clip Fixture is a two-terminal test accessory for precision impedance measurement of leaded components, axial and radial lead devices, and surface mount components (SMDs). The fixture combines interchangeable spring clip modules—one with parallel electrodes for SMD contact and another for lead component retention—enabling reliable, repeatable measurements across DC to 500 MHz. With APC-7 connectors, ±40V DC bias capability, and support for both open and short compensation, the 16092A integrates directly with industry-standard impedance analyzers and LCR meters for R&D, quality control, and production environments.
