Synthesized In-Circuit LCR/ESR Meters Models 885 & 886

Product Description

The B&K Precision models 885 and 886 synthesized in-circuit LCR/ESR meters are the first handheld meters of this type on the market, with a wide range of test frequencies up to 10 kHz for model 885 and 100 kHz for model 886, many measurement parameters including Z, L, C, DCR, ESR, D, Q, and Ø as well. The 885 and 886 are designed for both component evaluation on the production line and fundamental impedance testing for benchtop applications. With a built-in direct test fixture, you can test the lead components very easily. The optional 4-wire test clip can give a convenient connection to larger components and assemblies with the accuracy of 4-wire testing. The LCR meters offer fast, reliable, and versatile testing at low cost, making the 885 and 886 the most advanced handheld LCR meters available on the market today.
