ALLOYSEED LC100-A Digital Inductance Capacitance Meter
Meet the ALLOYSEED LC100-A — a compact, high-precision LC meter built for engineers, hobbyists, and electronics technicians who demand accurate inductance and capacitance readings in a portable package. Whether you're bench-testing coils, sorting SMD components, or troubleshooting circuits in the field, the LC100-A delivers stable 1% accuracy across an impressively wide measurement range — all powered conveniently via a standard Mini-USB port.
Key Features
- High-Precision Measurement: Advanced measurement circuitry delivers 1% accuracy for both inductance and capacitance readings — reliable enough for lab work and demanding field applications alike.
- Wide Measurement Range: Covers capacitance from 0.01 pF to 100 mF and inductance from 0.001 µH to 100 H, handling everything from tiny SMD capacitors to large power inductors.
- Auto & Manual Modes: Automatic mode selects the optimal measurement range and parameters for you, while manual mode gives advanced users full control over settings.
- Live Test Frequency Display: The meter shows the current test frequency in real time — approximately 500 kHz for standard inductance/capacitance and ~500 Hz for large inductance measurements.
- 1602 LCD Display: A clear 4-digit, 1602 character LCD makes readings easy to read in both bright and dim environments.
- USB-Powered & Data-Ready: Powered by the included Mini-USB cable (5 V supply), with USB serial communication for data transfer, storage, and export to a PC.
- Compact & Portable: Measuring just 80 × 50 × 30 mm (3.15 × 1.97 × 1.18 in), it slips easily into a tool bag or lab drawer.
- SMD Construction: Built with surface-mount components for a stable, reliable, and long-lasting instrument.
