[volt-nuts] Test Leads

Randy,

Here is the Cal Lab standard solution but the most expensive:

The Keysight leads are made by Pomona:

Pomona banana plug:

You can find the Keysight or Pomona with combinations of spade-lug and banana plug. I like spade-lug for the reference end and banana plug for the 3458a side.

These are my favorite everyday Cal leads:

You can usually find these on eBay.

Don't forget to get two sets for 4-wire ohms standards.

Regards...
Don

Subject: [volt-nuts] Test Leads

I recently acquired a Fluke 752A to go with my Fluke 732A and HP-3458A.
Now I need to address the need for low thermal test leads.  Does anyone have any suggestions for test leads that have low thermal contributions to measurements?  I have looked at Pomona 1756 Low Thermal EMF Cables as a starting point but haven't found any other candidates.

I have heard that old TV twin lead works well since most are stranded copper wire.  I have tried it between my 732A and 3458A and it seems to work fine but I would like to use more professional looking test leads, particularly with correct copper spade lugs (Pomona 2305 Low thermal EMF spade lug, Gold-plated?).  Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Randy Evans AE6YG
