Description
3506-10 C Meter for MLCC Production Testing
The Hioki 3506-10 C Meter is purpose-built for manufacturers who require fast, accurate, and stable capacitance measurements of multi-layer ceramic capacitors in high-throughput production environments. As a dedicated capacitance meter, it focuses on delivering consistent results at critical test frequencies commonly used in MLCC evaluation.
Speed and Measurement Stability
With an analog measurement time of just 0.6 milliseconds at 1 MHz, the 3506-10 C Meter supports high-speed inspection without compromising accuracy. This performance makes it ideal for inline testing where every millisecond matters. The dual-band design allows measurements at both 1 kHz and 1 MHz, ensuring stable evaluation of low-capacitance components when used with automated taping machines.
The instrument’s enhanced noise resistance improves repeatability, even in electrically noisy production environments. This stability helps reduce false rejects and ensures consistent quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
Production Line Integration
Designed specifically for automation, the 3506-10 integrates easily with taping machines, component sorters, and handler systems. Its BIN function enables rapid classification of components based on user-defined criteria, simplifying sorting and screening operations. This capability helps manufacturers maintain tight quality standards while increasing overall production efficiency.
The meter supports RS-232C communication using a crossover cable, allowing straightforward connection to external control systems. While probes and test fixtures are not included, the instrument is compatible with a wide range of production-ready accessories to suit different testing setups.
Reliable Quality Control
By combining speed, stability, and automation-friendly design, the 3506-10 C Meter delivers dependable performance for ceramic capacitor testing. It is an ideal solution for manufacturers looking to improve throughput, reduce measurement variation, and maintain consistent product quality across large production volumes.
