Product overview: 8508A-LEAD | Comprehensive Measurement Lead Kit
The 8508A Reference Multimeter has excellent performance specifications. But stability and accuracy can be compromised by the use of inappropriate connecting leads and associated processes when performing measurements.
For the most demanding and most sensitive measurement applications, the 8508A-LEAD set includes high quality, low leakage, low dielectric absorption PTFE insulated cables, terminated with 6 mm gold plated copper spade terminals. Their insulation properties make them ideal for resistance and current measurements minimizing leakage current and charge storage problems; their low capacitance makes them ideal for ac applications; and the 6 mm gold plated copper spade terminals ensure low thermal emfs for dc voltage and resistance work.
Also included in the 8508A/LEAD set is the 8508A's general purpose lead set. (This general purpose lead set also comes standard with the 8508A.) These leads provide the convenience of making rapid connections for less demanding applications and troubleshooting. This kit includes test leads with various test probes and alligator clips.
