The HP/Agilent 16117B Low Noise Test Leads connect to the Agilent 4339A and 4339B High Resistance Meters for precision measurements in high-impedance applications. Built with triaxial shielded cables and a high-voltage BNC connector, these leads preserve signal integrity across resistance ranges spanning 1 × 10⁵ Ω to 1 × 10¹¹ Ω. An interlocking circuit automatically enables and disables source voltage while limiting current to 0.5 mA maximum, providing essential safety control during high-voltage testing.
