Model 4342A
Section I
Paragraphs l-13 to l-22
1-13. SPECIFICATIONS.
16014A Series Loss Test Adapter:
1-14. Complete specifications of the Model
4342A Q Meter are given in Table l-1. These
specifications are the performance standards
or limits against which the instrument is
tested. The test procedures for testing the
instrument to determine if it meets its spe-
cifications are covered in Section V Mainte-
nance Paragraph 5-9 Performance Checks.
When the 4342A Q Meter is shipped from the
factory, it meets the specifications listed
in Table l-l.
l-15. ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED.
1-16. Fuses (HP Part No. 2110-0339 and 2110-
0044), the Operating and Service Manual, and
a power cord are furnished with the 4342A.
One of four types of power cords (HP Part No.
8120-1703, -0696, -1692 or -1521) is fur-
nished depending on the instrument destin-
ation. All accessories supplied are packed
in the instrument carton.
l-17. ACCESSORIES AVAIALABLE.
l-18.
Accessories are specially designed
devices which extend or enhance the measure-
ment capabilities of the 4342A.
The follow-
ing accessories are available for use with
the 4342A Q Meter:
16470 Series Supplemental Inductors:
A range of 20 inductors (model num-
bers 16471A to 1649OA), which can be
supplied separately or as a set, are
available for use with the 4342A Q
Meter.
These inductors are useful as
reference devices when measuring the
RF characteristics of capacitors, re-
sistors, or insulating materials.
For
4342A option 001 instruments, the
Model 16465A Inductor is additionally
available.
These inductors have three
terminals including a guard terminal
for stabilization of measurements.
16462A Auxiliary Capacitor:
The 16462A Auxiliary Capacitor is de-
signed to extend the Q and L measure-
ment capabilities of the 4342A. It is
especially useful when measuring small
inductors at low frequencies.
The 16014A Series Loss Test Adapter is
a special terminal adapter designed
for measuring low impedance components,
low-value inductors and resistors, and
also high value capacitors.
The
adapter adds convenience in connecting
components in series with the test
circuit of the 4342A Q Meter.
It con-
sists of a t rinted-circuit
base on which are mounted binding
posts to accept the supplemental in-
ductors,
and a pair of low-inductance
series terminals for the unknown.
16451A Dielectric Test Adapter (4342A-KOl):
The 16451A Dielectric Test Adapter is
a test fixture for measuring the di-
electric constant or dielectric loss
angle (tan 6) of insulating materials.
The 16451A has a pair of precision
variable electrodes (one side is fixed)
which hold the sample and which op-
erate similar to a micrometer to per-
mit direct reading of electrode spac-
ing. This test adapter is directly
attached to 4342A measurement
terminals.
Typical performance, characteristics, and ad-
ditional information regarding these accesso-
ries are given in Table l-2.
1-19. OPTIONS.
l-20. An option is a standard modification
performed in the instrument to meet a special
requirement desired by a user.
When an in-
strument model is ordered with an option num-
ber, the corresponding optional parts are
installed in/or packaged with instrument at
the factory.
An Option for obtaining a
lower measurement frequency range is avail-
able for installation in the 4342A.
l-21.
Option 001.
l-22.
The 4342A Option 001 covers a lower
frequency range, 1OkHz to 32MHz, instead of
the standard frequency range of 20kHz to
70MHz. All specifications that apply to Op-
tion 001 instruments are given in Table 1-1.
