looking to buy lcr meter what are you options on brands

<< < (5/5)

BravoV:
LCR meter input protection circuit will affect the measurement accuracy and consistency, hence even those expensive bench top ones never have it.

A proper way to measure any capacitor or inductor is thru out of circuit, meaning must be diligently desoldered 1st, and cap must be fully discharged before measurement takes place.

Those in-circuit testers and/or with input protection against a charged cap, are basically indicative measurement only, aka quick & dirty measurement, and one should not expect too much from such meter for accuracy and consistency.

Personally after using benchtop units and if needing to measure SMD too I'd get a pair of smart tweezers instead.

Still if you must have a bench unit Defpom checked out a bench LCR meter that Bangood sent him:

BravoV:
That freebie LCR meter that Defpom got, the test feequency maxed out only at 10kHz, and close to OP budget.  :--

These days, any newly acquired LCR meter, must at least capable of 100kHz test frequency.

Yes, Bangood sent him their cheapest model not the 100 KHz model.
