I have an agilent 34401a digital multi-meter.
I need to use the 4-wire function for reading resistance in a sensitive PCB.
Kelvin test leads are recommended but very costly and the aligator type clips are not conductive to the probing required.
The data sheet on the kelvin clips state the jaws of the aligator clip must be isolated until they touch the component to be tested. That is how they are designed.
I was hoping to create my own 4-wire test leads with probes on the end by twisting the raw end of one pair of wires together and soldering to a probe. What will I lose by doing this?
Will using a double banana jack converging to a single banana at the point on the test equipment work also?
