How do i use the Capacitance on this meter

how do i use the Capacitance on this meter with that attachment, it hooks up to the meter and has a little ball on the end up it. how do i use that?

The item you think is for capacitor is a K type thermocouple for measuring temperature the meter is a millimeter it can be used to give you a rough idea of a limited range of measurement you should have instructions with it so as to know how it works.

You need to introduce the capacitor pins in the two rectangular sockets, just above the 20 Amp yellow round socket and , of course, put the scale switch in F ( Farad ) ...

Don't forget to discharge the capacitor first, especially if it is large value\used for high voltage.

Depending on what you use it for, I'm not sure how much good that meter's capacitance measurement feature is going to be, though. If the range selector is anything to go by, it can only measure up to 20uF.

For low value capacitors like ceramics etc that would be OK but in PSUs and Motherboards etc most capacitors are usually 470uF - 4700uF.

was just curious.

It's handy to have one though, without it you have no idea if a capacitor is correct or not. Same with an ESR meter.
