- Description
- The product is a handheld electronic tester which is used to check that electronic components are working properly. The unit measures a capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) which helps show whether the capacitor is faulty. It also measures its capacitance value components when removed from the printed circuit board (PCB), to see how much electrical charge it can hold. The unit is made up of a PCB, an LCD screen, a battery and test leads. Housed in a plastic enclosure. The test leads are applied to components when not in circuit to test their values. The goods are packaged in a small cardboard box (21 x 14 x 3cms) along with a detailed manual.
