    Question to other AADE LC meter owners

    Hi all,

    I have just ordered for myself a kit for AADE's LC meter, and was reading through the instruction manual to get a hang of what's involved to get it together.

    One thing I noticed as I was going through the parts list is that the design consisted of a pair of 2 capacitors, C2a and C2b, of which the total capacitance is vital to the operation of this thing.

    I was actually considering swopping the capacitors out for some higher quality ones Wimas, but I guess I won't be able to do it now.

    I don't like a tool that I don't understand how it works, it seems like the meter will potentially go "off" calibration after some time (http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/a...ter_review.htm), and since I am assuming Neil is also a fairly old gentleman, it might leave me with a meter that I am unable to troubleshoot or recalibrate in the future!

    Does anyone know the mystery behind the values of C2a and C2b? How are their values determined?

      Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
      by proxneo
      Dear reader

      I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

      At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

      3 x 470uF 10VDC
      3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
      4 x 47uF 50VDC
      8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
      1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
      5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

      Which...

      Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
      by chth96
      I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

      "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
      Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
      It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

      Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

      Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

      I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

      Nvidia GTS 250M Laptop graphics - Inductor and Capacitor values
      by rashidjafar
      I am looking for capacitor & Inductor values for my TOSHIBA Qosmio X500-110 - mobile graphics - Nvidia GTS 250M Laptop.

      Values for :-
      =========
      PC43 : Capacitor [3x1.5mm]
      PL7 : Inductor [2x1mm]
      PC39 : Capacitor [1x0.5mm]

      Any ideas would be appreciated.




      I can get Capacitor values from nearby components but wanted to know the max ratings also I dont have equipment to measure inductors....

      Changing the scale of an analog meter
      by jorpec
      Hi

      I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
      I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

      Thnaks
