The HP/Agilent 42030A Four Terminal Pair Standard Resistor Set is a precision calibration instrument comprising nine discrete resistor standards engineered for high stability and minimal temperature dependence. Designed specifically for four-terminal pair LCR meters and impedance analyzers, this set delivers traceable impedance verification across DC and AC conditions up to 13 MHz, supporting accurate calibration of demanding measurement equipment.
