Re: recommend ESR meter, Multimeter, hot air rework station



Im just thinking is the ESRmicro measure so much more with low value caps. maybe the ESRmicro also measure ESR to high with low value electrolytic caps???...

Yes the ESRmirco is calibratet before use.

Re: recommend ESR meter, Multimeter, hot air rework station



I use my DMM and i measure fine with most of the caps, and i just cant believe that all these caps. is good.
Another thing that make me think that these caps is way out of spec. is that i use a ESRmicro 4.0 and the ERS readings is way to high, but again the capacitance is within spec.
Another thing is, i think the ESRmicro 4.0 it is not precise enough to measure such low values.

If i measure a new 10uF and a 6.8 uF cap. the readings is:
ESRmicro 4.0 measure: 12uF - 0.61...

Yes i know The Blue dont measure capacitance, i use my DDM for that.



Your spot on, its not a electrolytic i need to test, its PIO and Mylar cap.
I have alot of old PIO and Mylar caps. i want to test.

Happy packing Bob

Any recommendation for equipment to testing these old caps.

Thanks....

Can you test 0.02uF caps with the Blue meter?
