Product Description

LC-200A

UCTRONICS handheld LC meter U6228 is based on the LC resonant principle, and it adds precision measurement calculation of high-speed microcontroller, so that the meter has the advantage of wide measuring range and high precision, especially suitable for creating radio frequency filters, traps and other radio related stuff. It is very good when dealing with <10pF or uH where other measurement items fall down.

  • Supply Voltage: 5V
  • Power Supply: Φ5 DC power supply and mini USB cable (both of them included), or 4*AA batteries (not included)
  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 150 x 89 x 29mm
  • Weight: 198g

NOTE：

  • The capacitor under test must have been completely discharged, otherwise, the meter will be damaged.
  • It needs more time to measure a big capacitance (over 10mF, more than 1s; 100mF, about 8s).
  • If the meter needs to switch the testing mode, it should be calibrated to keep measurement accuracy.
  • For measuring the electrolytic capacitors, the selected mode should be “Hi.C”.

Un muy buen aparato de Laboratorio /Very good lab equipment
Hice varias pruebas con diversos componentes especialmente condensadores al nivel pf así como bobinas al nivel de uH y combrobé que su medición es muy precisa. Me siento muy satisfecho por cuanto estuve durante mucho tiempo buscando un medidor de inductancia y las alternativas disponibles eran solamente equipos de muy alto costo debido a su marca (EXTECH por ejemplo). El principio de funcionamiento es legendario y aquí se realiza de forma muy eficiente usando tecnología de microprocesador hoy ampliamente disponible.

I got this because my DMM doesn't have sufficient range to measure small capacitance values, and because this device has a little clamp to measure SMD capacitors. It can be powered by a USB port or charger, by a wall-wart that comes with it, and by batteries. I put 4 AA batteries in it and tested some capacitors. One thing to note is that one does need to calibrate the unit pretty much every time it is turned on. No big deal, just hold the little clamp open, and press the calibration button, and one second later when it says OK it is calibrated. Then I tested some 1208 SMD capacitors, a couple with nominal values listed as 100 nF tested as 94 or 95 nF, which is okay, since these were 10% capacitors. Then I tested some 5% 50 pF capacitors, and they tested as 44-45 pF. So that's off a bit more than 5% from the nominal value, but I don't know for sure if the capacitors I have are quite, as advertised, 50 pF 5%. But it is good enough for my purposes, which is to find the approximate capacitance of (usually) unlabeled SMD capacitors so I can reuse them after they come off a circuit board or once they are loose from their tape. So, while I can't verify the promised accuracy of this device, it does work. Another note: the leads on the supplied little clamp are rather short (and the alligator clips too for that matter), making picking up an SMD capacitor with the clamp a bit more of a hassle than with the (more expensive) tweezer-style capacitance meters. All in all, worth the money.

So far it seems to work fine, I compared it to readings on a Wavetek Multimeter (made in Taiwan in the 1990s). For the same measured components, the resistor, capacitor and inductor values tracked closely. The Uctronics meter was more sensitive for capacitor and inductance values than my old meter. I'm pleased with it to date.

Disclosure, not a pro at electronics. Unit is surprisingly repeatable and has high resolution. It can handle large and small capacitors. If you are trying to build/optimize isolated gate drives for MOSFETs, it is extremely useful. Comes will a wall adaptor and USB plug for power.

Capacitance measurements were fairly consistent but with inductance it was all over the place, inconsistent. Moreover the display doesn't work properly with the usb or dc power supplies, and keeps flickering on and off. The quality of this unit is extremely poor and I will be returning this piece of garbage.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022

I needed an inductance/capacitance that is easy to use with acceptable accuracy. This fits the bill nicely. I checked measurement against my other devices and this compares nicely but has a broader range. The only negative hit that knocked a star off is that they skimped on a very important part: the test leads. The test wire keeps coming out of the banana plug that uses a cheap set screw which doesn't hold at all. I had to get some more reliable test leads and now it's fine. So count on spending extra for a set of test leads or make your own.

I'm a Staff-level RF EE. I haven't compared this unit with the bench-top or HH Keysights, Agilents etc at work, but for home radio projects, this unit works just fine. Can't beat it for the money.

BTW, the spec mentions 1% accuracy down to 1pf. 1% at 1pf??? That's funny.
