UNI-T UT61E Multimeter teardown photos.

Oh, I have an explanation. When you roll the dice, there is a certain amount of luck involved! :-DD

Those 4 MOVs are populated in the German version (which is down rated to CATIII 300V, CATII 600V). I think any UT61E manufactured after 2015 shares the same PCB design as the 'safer' German one.

hgg:
...and below is how I received my UT61E 'Special Edition'...
C8b is a capacitor on top of another and flux residue all over the place! :wtf:
Am I the only one with a special edition ? :)
joeqsmith:
5KY's was rated for CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V without the MOVs. It must be a safer version than the German one with the MOVs! Besides your meter having the MOVs, at a quick glance:
PCB is marked different
Metal can
Cap next to metal can is mounted differently
Slits in board near can are different
Added pot near can
Blue pot is backwards
Q5/6 are larger package
Fuses are sized differently (smaller parts used on higher CAT rated meter)

OK, so UNI-T is able to produce a good multimeter, but you cannot recognise it at the shop. :-- Oh, wait, you can buy an Amprobe meter, that is UNI-T design but with proper fuses, MOVs and PTCs. :P
