Keysight 16034E Basic SMD Test Fixture, AC/DC, 42 V, 40 MHz

The Keysight 16034E is a basic SMD test fixture engineered for precise impedance characterization of surface-mount components from DC to 40 MHz. It connects directly to nine compatible Keysight LCR meters and impedance analyzers, providing a 2-terminal measurement interface for chip-type devices without lead wires. The fixture accommodates SMD sizes as small as 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm and supports AC/DC testing with a maximum bias voltage of ±42 V peak (AC+DC). Its V-mount center section features a loading lever mechanism and adjustable contact pins locked via knobs, enabling reliable electrical contact across varying component dimensions.
