Commonly used leads
and adapters
A40B Precision Current Shunts
Adapters, cables and
connectors
A40B-LEAD/4MM
N to 4 mm double banana connector lead
A40B-ADAPT/LCN
LC female to N male inter-series adapter
A40B-LEAD/N
N male to N male lead
A40B-ADAPT/LC
LC male to LC male adapter
This lead permits connecting the A40B shunt’s
N-type connectors to instrumentation that uses
dual banana plug connection terminals. Using
two leads permits connecting the shunt’s voltage
output to a voltage measuring instrument and
also connecting the shunt’s current input to a
UUT current source rated 20 A or less.
This adapter enables connecting the N-type input
connectors of A40B shunts rated 20 A or less with
sources that have male LC current connectors.
This lead permits connecting the A40B shunt’s
N-type output connector to a voltage measurement
device with a female N-type input connector.
This adapter permits connecting current sources
with LC female current connectors to A40B LC
female shunt input connectors (the 50 A and
100 A shunts). This can also be used with the
A40B ADAPT/LCN if a female mating connector
is required.
Technical Data
A40B-ADAPT/SPADE
LC male to spade lug terminals
This adapter enables connecting the LC style
input connector of the 50A and 100A A40B shunts
with sources that use cables equipped with spade
lug connectors. This is intended for dc and low
frequency ac current measurement applications
(up to approximately 1k Hz in frequency).
2 Fluke Calibration A40B adapters, cables, and connectors
The high current adapter is used when calibrating
the A40B shunts at current levels of more than
2 A. It connects together the current source and
two shunts for calibration measurements. This
adapter uses LC connectors. In this configuration,
a certified or reference shunt is connected in
series with a shunt that is being calibrated, which
in turn are in series with a current source.
The low current adapter is used to calibrate
shunts at currents levels of 2 A or less. It connects
together the current source and two shunts for
calibration measurements. This adapter mates with
N-type connectors to the shunts and a dual banana
connection to the source. In this configuration, a
certified or reference shunt is connected in series
with a shunt that is being calibrated, which in
turn are in series with a current source.
