To maintain adequate measurement performance, keep the elec-
trodes and the short plate in good condition. Contaminants and
abrasion on these parts considerably affect measurement results,
especially for low value measurements. Periodic fixture cleaning and
part replacement is recommended to avoid deterioration of measure-
ment performance. The 16196x fixtures are designed with simplicity
in mind, so that an operator can easily replace parts. Spare parts,
which are likely to be abraded, are supplied with the 16196U
Maintenance Kit.
16196U Maintenance Kit
Opt. 16196U-010: Upper electrode, 5 piece set (common to
16196A/B/C models)
Opt. 16196U-100: Short plate for 0603 (inch)/1608 (mm) size, 5
piece set (for 16196A)
Opt. 16196U-110: Lower electrode, 5 piece set (for 16196A)
Compensation and Measurement: First of all, install the appropriate
insulator assembly into the fixture. Then, perform compensation.
Open and short compensations are recommended in combination
with the electrical length compensation before measurement. The
fixture’s electrical length must be entered into the electrical length
compensation function of the measurement instrument first. Next,
open compensation is performed by placing the furnished open plate
on top of the insulator assembly. Short compensation is performed
by placing the furnished shorting plate on top of the insulator
assembly. After performing open and short compensations in combi-
nation with the electrical length compensation, the DUT is inserted
into the test fixture. Once the measurement of the DUT is complete,
remove the DUT from the fixture, by using the furnished push ring.
The following figures show how compensation and measurement is
performed.
