Dual-Lead Adapter
The dual-lead adapter makes an easy connection to 0.025 diameter connec-
tor pins (see Figure 3-54). One lead connects to a ground reference pin, and
the other to the signal pin. The adapter prevents burring and pin damage that
can result when a retractable hook tip is used on soft pins. A single-lead
adapter is also available. These adapters can also be used with the SMT
KlipChip to provide access to very small signal and ground test points.
Although the dual-lead adapter is an improvement over the long ground leads
in terms of added inductance, measurements at frequencies greater than
30 MHz may require using one of the low-inductance ground leads. Because
of the length of the signal lead, the dual-lead configuration is also more
susceptible to signal crosstalk than other tip configurations.
