The Keysight 16048A is a four-terminal-pair test lead assembly designed to extend the measurement capabilities of LCR meters and impedance analyzers. It connects user-fabricated test fixtures to instrument measurement ports via four BNC male-terminated coaxial leads and includes a BNC female connector board. The assembly operates from DC to 30 MHz and supports peak voltages to ±42 V (AC+DC) with DC bias capability up to ±42 V. At approximately 1 meter cable length and 315 g total weight, the 16048A delivers the four-terminal configuration necessary for precise impedance and component characterization across a wide frequency spectrum.
