Key Features and Functions
The Keysight 16196A surface mount devices (SMD) test fixture offers excellent repeatability and usability, with accurate correlation up to 3 GHz. 16196 series fixtures are custom designed to fit specific SMD sizes, and provide repeatable DUT positioning with reliable contacts to enable stable measurement results - reducing the possibility of operator-induced error. Traditionally, SMD inductor evaluation up to 3 GHz has been difficult to implement - now with the 16196 series, it’s easy to perform accurate and repeatable measurements.
The 16196A, 16196B, 16196C, and 16196D are test fixtures for measuring chip components. They enable chip type capacitors, inductors and other components to be measured with high precision and measurement repeatability. The 16196A/B/C/D also is compatible with measuring frequencies up to 3 GHz. The 16196A is for size 1608 parts *1, the 16196B is for size 1005 parts *1, the 16196C is for size 0603parts *1, and the 16196D is for size 0402 parts*1. (*1. These sizes, 1608, 1005, 0603, and 0402, are all nominal sizes in millimeters.)
