Component tester: Atlas vs cheap Aliexpress
<< < (3/3)
schmitt trigger:
FWIW, I have owned an Atlas device for 13+ years and has been very reliable and trustworthy all of these years. It required a software upgrade to detect germanium transistors.
HKJ:
Atlas do not make universal component tester, but specialized ones, i.e. one for RCL, one for semiconductors and one for triac/SCR. They are more precise than the Chinese ones (They are not originally Chinese) and can do more testing.

But in most cases the cheap Chinese is sufficient, they can usually identify a component, say if it works and give an idea about value. They only issue is that they do not work for small inductors.
DaneLaw:
Many of these cheaper CN-ones also comes packed with other features, outputs with dedicated sockets/screw terminals at the top & bottom...
like freq counter, freq generator, 10bit PWM control, signal out & and all that jazz, though if it's to any use in practice, likely varies from person to person.

Got this one from the UK a handfull of years back (Banggoods UK store)., was around 10 euro with an acrylic case delivered to DK. https://i.imgur.com/Hxdmnd9.mp4

If its a good component tester, I dont know. havent compared it to others, - I do like the fact that it constantly updates values 0n the screen when adjusting pods etc, or checking components, but check Youtube for reviews to gain an overview of which model does what - and how well, as there are so many models of these "CN component testers" that you literally could feed pigs with them.
a minor con on some of them is the lack of an inbuilt battery, though an easy fix.
