MCL42

Using Keysight's E4980A LCR meter as the core, the scanner unit measures temperature and frequency characteristics for up to 40 capacitor key characteristics, including

Product Features

  • Compatible with a wide variety of capacitors
  • Automatic measurement of temperature and frequency characteristics using HIFLEX-NEO series

  • Compatible with "4-terminal pair method" for high-precision measurement.
  • Individual OPEN/SHORT compensation for each channel, temperature, and frequency
  • LOAD correction can be made for each channel and frequency

4-terminal pair system

The 4-terminal pair method is a measurement method that reduces electromagnetic error factors in addition to the 4-wire method.

MCL42 realizes 4-terminal pair measurement with its self-developed scanner circuit.

Thorough elimination of measurement error factors

Since errors in measurement values occur due to the layout of the fixture and measurement cables, independent correction is required for each channel. The MCL42 can perform OPEN/SHORT correction for each channel as well as for each frequency and temperature.
