4263B LCR Meter
The 4263B LCR meter is Agilent Technologies’ most cost-effective
low-end LCR meter, designed for both component evaluation on the
production line and fundamental impedance testing for bench-top
applications. The 4263B has five test frequencies that allow you to
simulate testing under the correct conditions: 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz,
10 kHz, and 100 kHz. An optional 20 kHz test frequency can be
added to those five frequencies (4263B-002).
High-Speed Measurements
The 4263B can boost throughput with a measurement speed of 25 ms
at any test frequency. This ability improves the throughput of elec-
trolytic capacitor and transformer testing. The 4263B can check the
contact condition between the test terminals and the device-under-
test (DUT). This function ensures the reliability of PASS/FAIL testing
with automatic handlers in production. The quick recovery system of
the 4263B improves throughput. Normal operation is resumed the
instant a faulty DUT is removed from the handler, so the handler can
always be operated at its full speed.
Electrolytic Capacitor Measurements
The 4263B’s accuracy and wide measurement range are the right
tools to make precise measurements of electrolytic capacitors.
Charged capacitors can discharge through the front end and destroy
an instrument. The 4263B’s front end is designed for protection and
maintains test integrity.
Transformer Parameter Measurements
With the 4263B’s ability to make turns ratio (N), mutual inductance
(M), and dc resistance (DCR) measurements, data calculations and
changing test setups are no longer time-consuming tasks (4263B-001).
The flexible signal level setting and the voltage-and-current monitor
function facilitate the use of the 4263B for level dependent DUTs, such
as core inductors.
