Description
IM3536 LCR Meter for High-Precision Component Testing
The Hioki IM3536 LCR Meter sets the standard for general-purpose electronic component testing. Its wide measurement frequency range from DC to 8 MHz (customizable to 10 MHz) allows engineers to evaluate components under conditions that closely mimic real-world operation. This makes it particularly suitable for testing high-frequency power supply inductors, laminated ceramic capacitors, and electrolytic capacitors.
Fast, Reliable, and Accurate
With a measurement time of just 1 millisecond and an accuracy of ±0.05%, the IM3536 ensures rapid, precise readings without compromising reliability. The device can measure very low impedances, starting from 1 mΩ, with unmatched repeatability. Its DC bias function allows testing components under simulated operating voltages or industry-standard conditions, providing accurate performance assessment.
Versatile Applications
The IM3536 supports comprehensive analysis of electronic components:
- Capacitors: Measure capacitance accurately for both electrolytic and ceramic types across a broad frequency and voltage range.
- Inductors and Coils: Evaluate inductance, Q factor, and frequency characteristics, including self-resonant frequency considerations.
- Power Supply Components: Measure components with DC bias and high precision to ensure performance under operating conditions.
Easy Data Management
With interfaces for USB, GP-IB, and RS-232C, measurement data can be transferred seamlessly to a computer. Sample application software allows automatic measurement, data logging, and export to Excel or text files. This makes the IM3536 ideal for integration into automated production lines or R&D testing setups.
