Keysight Handheld Capacitance and LCR Meters

This video introduces Keysight Handheld Capacitance and LCR Meters, engineered to deliver bench‑level accuracy in a lightweight, portable form factor ideal for field testing and on‑the‑go troubleshooting. These handheld instruments provide reliable impedance measurements for capacitors, inductors, resistors, and diodes, allowing engineers and technicians to quickly characterize components in production environments, service operations, and remote locations. Their compact design, intuitive button layout, and thumb‑operable controls enable one‑handed use, even in tight or awkward spaces.

These meters feature automatic component identification, eliminating the need to manually configure measurement mode and reducing setup time. A backlit dual‑display enables simultaneous viewing of multiple parameters—such as capacitance and dissipation factor or inductance and quality factor—even in dim or low‑light conditions. With long battery life of up to 16 hours per charge or battery set, these handheld LCR meters provide extended operation for field work and minimize downtime between tests.

Handheld Capacitance and LCR Meters support maximum test frequencies up to 100 kHz and capacitance measurements up to 199.99 mF, with available models tailored for general LCR measurements or specialized capacitance testing. Their rugged portability and accuracy make them suitable for component verification, troubleshooting passive circuits, validating repairs, and screening components before installation. For users requiring more advanced impedance capabilities—such as high‑frequency analysis, materials characterization, or complex parameter extraction—Keysight’s benchtop LCR meters and impedance analyzers provide expanded performance and analytical functionality.

Key features include:

• Compact & Portable: Lightweight, ergonomic design with intuitive controls for one‑handed operation in tight spaces.
• Automatic Component Identification: Automatically detects resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes without manual setup.
• Backlit Dual‑Display: View two measurement parameters simultaneously, even in low‑light environments.
• Long Battery Life: Operate continuously for up to 16 hours on a single charge or fresh batteries.
• High Measurement Capability: Up to 100 kHz maximum frequency and 199.99 mF capacitance measurement range, with dedicated capacitance‑meter configurations.
   

Keysight LCR meters and impedance analyzers enable precise characterization of passive components, evaluate circuit behavior, and support detailed impedance analysis across production, lab, and field environments.
