Description
SME-8360 Chip Capacitor Measurement Electrode
The SME-8360 Chip Capacitor Electrode is a dedicated measurement jig developed to support accurate and repeatable resistivity testing of chip capacitor tips. When paired with Hioki super megohmmeters, this electrode provides a practical solution for evaluating insulation resistance at the capacitor terminal, which is a critical parameter in capacitor performance and reliability assessment.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the SME-8360 Chip Capacitor electrode features an adjustable jig that can be set up to 11 mm in length. This allows users to measure a wide range of chip capacitors, starting from 0603 inch size and larger, without the need for custom fixtures or modifications. The adjustable structure ensures stable contact with capacitor tips, improving measurement consistency and reducing setup time during repeated inspections.
Safety is a key design consideration of the SME-8360 Chip Capacitor electrode. When connected to Hioki megohmmeters using the DSM8104F Interlock Cable, the system automatically turns the measurement voltage off while the lid is open. This interlock function helps protect operators during setup and sample changes, making the electrode suitable for both laboratory environments and production lines where frequent handling is required.
The SME-8360 integrates seamlessly with Hioki’s super megohmmeter lineup, supporting precise insulation resistance measurements for component evaluation, material development, and quality control processes. For users of the SM7000 series, the Z5010 Conversion Adapter is required to ensure proper electrical compatibility. With the correct configuration, the electrode becomes a reliable extension of the measurement system, maintaining accuracy while improving usability.
Its robust mechanical design and generous lead length allow flexible placement on workbenches or test stations. The SME-8360 Chip Capacitor electrode is particularly valuable for manufacturers and researchers who need dependable measurement of capacitor tip resistivity to support product validation, failure analysis, and process optimization.
By combining adjustability, safety-focused operation, and compatibility with advanced Hioki measurement instruments, the SME-8360 Chip Capacitor electrode delivers a balanced solution for precise and efficient capacitor resistance testing.
