You can use a multimeter with capacitance-measurement capability to measure the length of wire or cable to an open circuit. The capacitance of a pair of wires (or a wire to a shield) is directly ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

We’re big fans of surface mount parts. SMD components are cheaper, take less board space, and don’t require drilling; all the coolest new parts are only available in SMD packages. Smart Tweezers are a ...

Fluke Corp. has introduced a digital multimeter with a detachable wireless display. Designed by Fluke engineers and manufactured at the Fluke Worldwide headquarters in Everett, Washington, the Fluke ...

ABB has announced the development of a portable capacitance meter, the CB-2000, that is simpler to use and easier to carry than any other measuring devices previously available. ABB has announced the ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

You don’t see them much anymore, but there was a time when any hobbyist who dealt with RF probably had a grid dip meter. The ...

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing is widely used to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures. However, other types of semiconductor devices and technologies ...
