rise to an accident. Avoid the following locations.
• Exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature
• Exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
• Exposed to water, oil, chemicals, or solvents
• Exposed to high humidity or condensation
• Exposed to a strong electromagnetic eld or
electrostatic charge
• Exposed to high quantities of dust particles
• Near induction heating systems (such as high-
frequency induction heating systems and IH cooking
equipment)
• Subject to vibration
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the device, protect it from physical
shock when transporting and handling. Be especially
careful to avoid physical shock from dropping.
• Do not slant the device or place it on top of an uneven
surface. Dropping or knocking down the device can
cause injury or damage to the device.
• When using the IM9100 with the 9268-10 DC Bias
Voltage Unit, to prevent damage to the IM9100 and
the connected measuring instrument, do not short the
contact probes of the test head while a DC voltage (DC
bias) is being input.
• The template which xes a sample becomes dirty
and there is a possibility that a function may fall
by deformation etc.
When dirt adheres, please remove with soft
IMPORTANT
brush, cloth, etc.
• The template, short correction jig, and open
correction jig are expendable items. If there
are signs of deterioration due to deformation of
or other damage, contact your dealer or Hioki
representative to order a new one.
Overview
The IM9100 SMD Test Fixture is a test xture for SMD components
that connects directly to the measurement terminal (UNKNOWN
terminal) on a HIOKI LCR meter. It allows you to perform 4-terminal
measurement of three types of compact chip component (0.4 mm ×
0.2 mm, 0.6 mm × 0.3 mm, and 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm).

Inspection Before Use
Before using the device, verify that it operates normally to ensure
that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you nd any
damage, contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
CAUTION
When disconnecting the BNC connector, be sure
to release the lock before pulling off the connector.
Forcibly pulling the connector without releasing the lock,
can damage the BNC connector.
You will need: Phillips-head screwdriver
Align the device’s BNC connectors with the
1
instrument’s BNC connectors, insert them, and lock
the device in place with the lock lever.

Open Correction
To reduce measurement error, open correction is performed. The
correction method varies with the instrument to which the device is to
be connected. See the user manual that came with the instrument.
You will need: Open correction jig, tweezers
Using the pair of tweezers, attach the open
1
correction jig to the 1005 measurement position on
the test head.
Open correction jig
Orient so that surface with
electrodes faces down.
Gradually apply the tip pin to the open correction
2
jig.
Perform correction with the instrument.

For more information, see “Measurement Method”
in the user manual.
Even if you will be measuring 0402- and 0603-size
IMPORTANT
samples, perform open correction using the 1005
measurement position.
To reduce measurement error, short correction is performed. The
correction method varies with the instrument to which the device is to
be connected. See the user manual that came with the instrument.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to contact probes, lower the
contact probe with the probe up/down operation knob
when attaching or removing the template.
• When attaching the template, insert it so that the
xing screws pass straight through the screw holes
and tighten it in place using an appropriate amount of
force. Over-tightening may damage the screw holes.
• Screw tightening torque: Max. 0.015 N·m
You will need: No. 0 precision Phillips-head screwdriver,
short correction jig

CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the device and samples, lower
the contact probe with the probe up/down operation
knob when attaching samples. Additionally, apply the
tip pin to samples gradually so as not to subject them
to excessive force.
• Do not apply the tip pin to the contact probe without
rst attaching a sample.
• To avoid damaging the tip pin, do not move the pusher
unit horizontally while the pusher is in the lowered
position.
You will need: Tweezers
