Title: LCR Meter
Post by: tubesornothing on September 20, 2010, 10:50:47 am

Anyone have an LCR meter on their bench?

Popular ones:

B&K 875B  ~ $200
Protek ~ $114
Extech ~$200
Dealextreme ~$21 (cheapo chinese)
CircuitTest ~$130

Anyone have experience with these meters or brands?  Anyone have other LCR meters that they like?

Well, I had an inrush of cash and got a deluxo B&K 879.  Resistance, inductance, impedance, capacitance, esr.

PRR is going to scoff at me for throwing my money around...

I use a vintage Heath IT-28 - perfect when it comes to reform 'lytics, an old but still kickin' Sencore LC53 bench model and a modern Tecpel LCR-612 portable.

I´ve got a Beckman handheld digital LCR meter.Use it mainly to check the values of inductors.
