Measurement Procedure and Examples
Measurement Contacts
Contact Resistance
Contact resistance between the contacting terminals and the DUT causes 
measurement error when measuring large values of capacitance, especially in 
D (dissipation factor) measurements.
When measuring large capacitance values, the four-terminal measurement 
contacts have the advantage of less measurement error as compared to the 
two-terminal method. Select a test fixture which can hold the DUT tightly to 
stabilize the connection.
