Provides 0.1% Accuracy and 4-Terminal Configuration with Auto Detect Mode
YORBA LINDA, CA, June 6, 2016 — B&K Precision today announced the expansion of its current 878B and 879B 40,000-count handheld LCR meters with the addition of a new 100 kHz model, the 880. This new portable LCR meter can measure inductance, capacitance, and resistance with 0.1% basic impedance accuracy. Offering many features typically found only in bench LCR meters, the 880 provides test frequencies up to 100 kHz, selectable test signal levels, and 4-terminal measurement capabilities. With a fast auto ranging function, convenient single-push auto detect mode, and versatile functions such as data recording, tolerance sorting, and relative mode, the 880 is suitable for characterizing components in the field or laboratory environments.

The 880 features a dual display with 40,000-count and 10,000-count resolution for primary and secondary measurements, respectively. Selectable test frequencies include 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz along with selectable test levels of 0.3 Vrms, 0.6 Vrms, and 1 Vrms. In addition, the LCR meter provides DC resistance measurement capability.
Whereas many manufacturers of LCR meters typically only include a few accessories as standard, 880 users can expect a full set of useful accessories supplied with the instrument. Standard accessories include an AC adapter with rechargeable 9 V battery, mini USB cable, shorting plate, banana-to-alligator test leads, Kelvin clip test leads, and additional tweezer accessory for convenient measurement of SMD components.
Available immediately, B&K Precision’s 880 100 kHz handheld LCR meter comes with a 3-year warranty and is listed at a price of $399.
