GME Technology 236 In-Circuit ESR & DCR Capacitor Tester

Overview

The GME Technology 236 In-Circuit ESR & DCR Capacitor Tester is designed for efficient troubleshooting of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This Model 236 allows you to measure ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on capacitors ranging from 0.47µF to 2200µF, whether they are in or out of circuit. This saves valuable time during testing and troubleshooting. The device utilizes a 100 kHz output test frequency and a low 15 mVp-p output test voltage, preventing the activation of solid-state devices during testing. Microprocessor control and automatic capacitor discharge ensure accurate and safe operation.
