The Agilent 16442B test fixture is designed for testing packaged devices and electronic
components. The 16442B has six triaxial connectors for source/measure unit (SMU), the
GNDU connector for the ground unit of a parameter/device analyzer, the Interlock
connector for the interlock control, and six coaxial (BNC type) connectors for other
instruments. You can mount the suitable socket module on the 16442B, which allows you
to easily connect various devices to measurement units. See Agilent 16442B Test Fixture
User’s Guide for details and accessories of the 16442B.
To connect to the B2900A source/measure terminals, N1294A-001 or 002 Banana to
Triaxial adapter is required.
• Connection example for 2-wire Connections
To connect to the 16442B test fixture for 2-wire connections, N1294A-001 banana to
triaxial adapter for 2 wire (non-kelvin) connection and two 16494A triaxial cables are
required.
Attach the banana to triaxial adapter to the B2900A source/measure terminals.
Connect the triaxial cables between the adapter and the 16442B as shown in the
