This adapter facilitates the integration of Ossila Micromanipulators with standard banana-connectorized SMUs. It features four SMA inputs mapping to four Banana outputs. This enables 4-wire Kelvin measurements (Force HI/LO and Sense HI/LO) to eliminate lead resistance errors and is crucial for integrating of Ossila Micromanipulators with a range of source measure units.

Chassis Grounding
The SMA shields on Ossila Micromanipulators are not electrically connected to the probe tip. If they are left floating, the shield of each cable can behave like an unintended antenna, allowing environmental noise to capacitively couple into the signal path.
To avoid this, the adapter provides a single, controlled grounding point. All coaxial cable shields are routed to the Force LO terminal so they effectively form a Faraday cage. This is a barrier against external interference, maintaining signal quality in unguarded setups while preventing unwanted ground loop paths.
