1. Introduction 1.1 Product Overview The 12706A test fixture is a sample box that connects to a measuring instrument such as 8340A, 8240 or 8252 to perform insulation resistance measurement and VSIM (voltage source current measurement) of capacitors and other electrical components.
The storage temperature range is from -25°C to +80°C. When not in use for a long time, cover the 12706A with a plastic sheet or put in a card- board box, and store it in a low humidity area away from direct sunlight.
1.2.3 Parts with Limited Service Life The 12706A use the following parts with limited service life. Check these parts by reference to the durability in the table. If any abnormality such as a con- tact failure is found, the parts need replacing. Please contact ADC Corporation or your sales representative.

This section describes the procedure of connecting the 12706A with the 8252. Procedure: (1) Connect the INPUT of the 8252 to the INPUT of the 12706A by using the TRIAX-TRIAX cable (A01009). (2) Connect the HI and LO of the 8252 (short circuit between LO and GND) to the V SOURCE of the 12706A by using the output cable (A01044) and the banana adapter (A08531).
(3) For the 8340A or 8252, set to voltage source current measurement (VSIM) or voltage source resistance measurement (VSRM). For the 8240, set to DC current measurement. (4) Closing the cover of the 12706A will turn on the applied voltage switch, allowing mea- surement. CAUTION 1.
