Wayne Kerr PSH-6018

The Wayne Kerr PSH-6018 is a precision shunt box that extends the measurement capability of impedance analyzers into the low impedance domain. It provides a known, stable shunt impedance that enables accurate characterization of components with very low resistance values by allowing subtraction of the known shunt value from total measured impedance.

– Technical Specifications

The PSH-6018 is engineered to maintain measurement integrity when paired with Wayne Kerr impedance analyzers operating at frequencies up to 120 MHz with basic accuracy of 0.05%. The accessory introduces a precisely defined shunt impedance designed to complement these high-precision instruments without degrading overall system performance.

– Key Features

• Known, stable shunt impedance for low-impedance measurement correction
• Designed for integration with Wayne Kerr’s impedance analyzer ecosystem
• Maintains accuracy standards consistent with host analyzer specifications
• Laboratory and industrial-grade construction

– Typical Applications

The PSH-6018 is used to improve measurement accuracy for:

• Low-value resistors
• Contact resistances
• Conductive materials
• Interconnect characterization

Applications benefit from the device’s ability to provide correction when device-under-test impedance is significantly lower than the shunt impedance, enabling precision characterization that would otherwise be limited by analyzer resolution.

– Compatibility & Integration

The PSH-6018 interfaces with Wayne Kerr impedance analyzers and LCR meters, including instruments from the 6500B series. Integration with analyzer test fixtures and measurement configurations follows Wayne Kerr’s standard accessory interface protocols.
