LCR Meter for 1k USD
(1/1)
strahd_von_zarovich:
Hi everyone,
I am planning to buy an LCR meter and I need your suggestions.
I am going to use it for measuring low values of capacitance and inductance of surface mount passive components. I don't need any extra features like biasing, remote control etc. Measurements like ESR, ESL etc. will be pretty handy. I am not going to characterize components, so, high frequency measurements is not a must.
I want to see if the capacitor is 1pF or 2pF. In that regard, 0.1pF resolution for caps, 1nH resolution for inductors, 0.1ohm resolution for resistance is enough for me.
I won't use it for higher values , maximum values will be 1mF, 1mH and 10M ohm. 
Since, I am going to use it for very small packages down to 0201, are tweezer ones more practical?

Thanks in advance.

For such small packages you'll need an SMD fixture. I'd look at bench LCR meters from Tonghui. Be prepared that the SMD fixture alone can set you back $200 to $300.

So while high frequency is not a must, at what frequency you need to measure? Results will depend on frequency.
