Simple way to test capacitors?
« on: June 09, 2020, 06:35:35 am »
Hi,

What is the best way to test capacitors that have been removed from a circuit? Is there a reasonably priced device I can use to perform the test?

Thanks,

You can use an LCR meter to measure ESR, capacitance and other characteristics of the capacitor.

For around 20$ you can buy a Component Tester and for 100$ a decent LCR meter (Der EE DE-5000)
