Hioki IM3523A LCR Meter – Precision Impedance Analyzer, New

Description

Features:

• IM3523 LCR Meter
• ± 0.05% accuracy with wide measurement range (DC, 40Hz to 200kHz, 5mV to 5V, 10uA to 50mA)
• Non-stop testing over mixed measurement conditions such as C-D and ESR at 10 times the speed of previous models
• Built-in comparator and BIN functions
• Rapid 2msec test time

Hioki LCR Meters and Impedance Analyzers range from 1mHz to 1.3GHz devices to suit a wide range of applications in the testing of electronic components. The IM3523 is designed for basic measurement on production lines so that it can be offered at a low price point, and delivers improved measurement reliability thanks to its contact check function.

1. Broad measurement frequency, voltage, and current ranges, accommodating an expanded array of applications

• All three instruments offer expanded measurement frequency and measurement signal ranges compared to previous models. These increases allow the devices to be used in a more extensive range of measurement applications while delivering a higher level of operator convenience.

2. Improved basic accuracy of ±0.05%

• All three instruments deliver basic accuracy of ±0.05% of reading for Z (impedance)* measurement. This improvement over the performance of previous models (which delivered ±0.08% of reading accuracy) allows the new models to take more accurate measurements. *Z (impedance): Resistance in an AC circuit.

3. Increased measurement efficiency with measurement times of half or less previous models’ numbers

• The IM3523 takes just 2 ms to perform measurements that took 5 ms (1 ms = 1/1,000 s) with previous models, dramatically boosting measurement efficiency. The instrument is particularly effective when used in a production-line setting, where its shorter measurement times translate into lower costs.

4. Contact check functionality for reduced risk of undetected defects

• The instruments’ contact check functionality detects broken wires and poor contact with samples during measurement, reducing the risk of undetected defects to enable higher-reliability measurement.

Instrument-specific Features

1. IM3523

• (1) Compact, lightweight design that is easily embedded in production line equipment The IM3523 is about 40% smaller than previous models in terms of installation area and about 20% lighter, making it easy to set aside enough space to install the instrument on production lines or inside automated testing equipment.

2. IM3533

• The IM3533 augments the IM3523’s functionality with the following features:
• (1) Functionality for measuring targets such as windings, induction coils, and transformers, accommodating a broader range of applications The IM3533 provides functionality that is well suited to the measurement of targets such as windings, induction coils, and transformers. DCR measurement with a temperature correction function is supported for windings and transformers, and the instrument’s support for internal DC bias measurement (within a ±5 V range) is useful when measuring tantalum and other polarized capacitors. The ability to measure specific components allows the IM3533 to perform a broader range of measurements.
• (2) Touch panel for improved operability
• The IM3533’s touch panel provides improved operability.

3. IM3533-01

• The IM3533-01 further augments the functionality of the IM3523 and IM3533 with the following feature, which is particularly well suited to research and development applications.
• (1) Frequency sweep function, ideal for use by research and development departments
• The IM3533-01’s frequency sweep function, which lets the user observe measurement variations at each frequency in a specified range, is an effective tool for research and development departments as they assess the characteristics of electronic components. Measurement results can be saved on computers and other devices via a USB memory stick or other interface, allowing data for each frequency point to be analyzed.
