Hioki LCR Meters and Impedance Analyzers range from 1mHz to 3GHz devices to suit a wide range of applications in the testing of electronic components. The 3504 series are dual-band capacitance meters suited for large-capacitance MLCC inspections using a constant voltage.
Key Features • High speed measurement of 2ms • Supports C measurements with voltage dependency characteristics through the use of constant voltage testing (CV) • Model 3504-60 can detect contact failure on all 4 terminals for increased reliability • BIN function on the 3504-60/-50 is ideal for sorting machines • Model 3504-40 offers high speed and affordability, perfect for integrating into taping machines • In all models, contact error is constantly monitored during measurement, contributing to increased yield | Model No. (Order Code)
