Overview |
HP 4338B |
Overview
HP 4338B Milliohmmeter is a precise, reliable, and high speed test tool for measuring low resistance.
Features
Low and selectable test signal current: 1 A to 10 mA Wide measurement range: 10 to 100 k
10 resolution
1 kHz ac measurement
High speed measurement: 34 ms Built-in comparator
Auto measurement mode
Precise Low Resistance Measurement
Contact failure of electro-mechanical components in low current circuits is a key issue in determining these components' reliability. The HP 4338B o ers selectable low level ac test signals (1 A to 10 mA), so now low current conditions can be characterized. A high resolution of 10 allows you to determine the slightest di erences in contact resistance testing of relays, switches, connectors, PC board traces, and cables. The 1 kHz test signal eliminates potential errors introduced by thermo-electric e ects across the DUT contacts.
The 1 kHz ac test signal is the best solution for evaluating the internal resistance of batteries because it avoids dc energy consumption.
High Speed Measurements
The high speed (34 ms), built-in comparator, and HP-IB/handler interfaces makes it possible to construct a measurement system using an automatic handler and an external computer to minimize production test time.
Auto Measurement Mode
When performing gross continuity testing where the test signal level is not a signi cant factor in the test, the auto measurement function allows the HP 4338B to select the appropriate test signal level and measurement range.

|
|
Warning |
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not turn on the HP 4338B when |
|
there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of the outer enclosure |
(for example, covers, panel, or display)
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for
completeness and the HP 4338B has been checked mechanically and electrically. The contents of the shipment are as follows:
HP 4338B LCR Meter
Power Cable
Operation Manual(This Book)
User's Guide
If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the analyzer does not pass the power-on selftests, notify the nearest Hewlett-Packard o ce. If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of unusual stress, notify the carrier as well as the Hewlett-Packard o ce. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.
Ventilation Requirements
To ensure adequate ventilation, make sure that there is adequate clearance of at least 400 mm behind, 100 mm sides and 15 mm above.
Instruction for Cleaning
For cleaning, wipe with soft cloth that is soaked with water and wrung tightly without undue pressure.
