Hello,

a small video explaining the process (and a suboptimal but working design for the HP 4262A) is here:

It's not so much that there is a clip named Kelvin, but that there's a thing called a Kelvin connection, in which you drive the DUT with one pair of wires, but sense voltage with a separate pair. This connection eliminates errors due to voltage drop along the inevitable resistance/impedance of the driving pair.

thanks for all answers! I didn't know that the name of those clips was "kelvin".
BTW i checked digikey for them and was shocked by their prices! a set of 2 clips cabled to banana plugs was about 200€!!!
