Agilent/Keysight CX1206A

The Keysight CX1206A is a high-current adapter that expands the measurement range of the Keysight CX1101A current sensor. This sensor head accessory enables measurement of higher currents through ESL reduced shunt resistor technology and connects directly to the CX3300 analog channel via dual banana jack terminals. It delivers precise current monitoring for demanding test and measurement applications.

Technical Specifications

• Current Measurement Range: Up to 10 A maximum


• Minimum Detectable Current: Less than 3 mA


• Bandwidth (with CX1101A): 3 MHz (-4 dB)


• Shunt Technology: ESL reduced resistor design


• Interface: Two banana jack terminals for ammeter connections

Key Features

• Extends current measurement capability of the CX1101A sensor


• Low-noise shunt resistor design minimizes measurement error


• Dual banana jack output for direct integration with CX3300 channel


• Measures currents from sub-3 mA levels to 10 A


• 3 MHz bandwidth supports dynamic current waveform analysis

Typical Applications

• Device current waveform monitoring in electronic circuits


• High-current measurement in power supply testing


• Current profile analysis during functional validation


• Transient current capture in switching applications

Compatibility & Integration The CX1206A is designed exclusively as an accessory for the Keysight CX1101A current sensor and integrates with the Keysight CX3300 Series Device Current Waveform Analyzer. Connection is achieved through the two banana jack terminals that interface with the ammeter terminals of the CX3300 analog channel.
