Description:
Smart Tweezers™ is a handheld LCR meter of a new concept.
It provides a perfect solution for testing and identification of Surface Mount Devices (SMD) as well as for troubleshooting of complex electronic systems.
Its unique mechanical and electronic design combines a pair of durable gold-plated tweezers and a precise LCR meter in compact, lightweight instrument.
Smart Tweezers™ found its applications at Intel, RIM (Blackberry), Boeing, Los Alamos Nuclear Labs, Lockheed Martin, NASA and many other global R&D-intensive agencies and companies.
Features:
- Handy Tool for Tiny SMD Components
Surface mount devices are usually tiny and without wire leads, making it more difficult to test and identify SMD than conventional components.
Smart Tweezers™ gives users an easy way to sort and evaluate loose components and to perform on-board measurements and debugging.
Precise gold-plated tips made of non-magnetic steel are able to pick and reliably contact even smallest SMD components (as small as 0201 format) or take measurements from the devices already mounted on a board. The probe can also be used to test conventional components with wire leads too short to insert into the test terminals.
- Automatic Component Recognition
Smart Tweezers™ automatically determines type of the component (resistance, capacitance or inductance), selects proper range and signal frequency for highest accuracy measurements. Manual overrides are available as well.
Unit’s display clearly indicates the type of the component, measurement result and test conditions. The primary display shows the present reading. The secondary display (on top) shows the present reading of additional parameters or measurement conditions when the primary display shows some other feature (L, C).
When multiple features present, the secondary display shows one of the values. The Bar Graph provides an analog indication of the measured input.
- Ergonomic Design and Convenient Controls
- Voltage Measurement, Continuity/Open Test, Diode Polarity Testing
Smart Tweezers™ features dual mode voltmeter function. In the AUTO mode, the DC voltage is measured. In the TRACE mode waveform of the AC signal is shown.
The unit has a continuity detector with the beeper sound for resistance reading below threshold.
Smart Tweezers™ can test diode polarity and indicate if the diode is short.
