Seller: alltronics ✉️ (28,483) 99.7%, Location: Santa Clara, California, US, Ships to: US, Item: 181171316406 AnaTek Blue ESR/Low Ohms Meter - Complete Kit for Assembly. The AnaTek Blue ESR/Low Ohms Meter is the latest and best Bob Parker design and successor to the famous Dick Smith ESR/Low Ohms Meter. This is a kit and requires assembly. It is handy and affordable meter measures capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) in the circuit. ESR is a very important characteristic of capacitors greater than 1 uF.  See manual for more details, quality test leads with banana jacks and alligator clips included. This meter makes measurements which are often impossible to check with capacitance meters. Also great for measuring very low values of resistance. This is an indispensable piece of test equipment for a system designer or product technician!  Please note : We are sorry but eBay has decided to take out all external links so for access to information/comparisons  please  goto anatekinstruments.com

ESR Meter Features:

Supplied in kit form with  Instructions & manual online

  • Two foot leads made with super flexible test lead wire with 4mm banana plugs
  • Test lead resistance compensation
  • Resistance measurements from 0.01 Ohm to 99 Ohm.
  • Automatic power off when reading is unchanged for 3 minutes
  • Low battery voltage warning
  • Easy-to-read, high brightness 0.5 inch (13mm) piercing blue LED display
  • Easy to read chart of good capacitor ESRs on the front panel with capacitor voltage values from 10V-450V, 1->10,000uF capacitance
  • Test ESR on polarized and non-polarized capacitors with the value of >1 uF
  • Measures ESR for capacitors in circuit, ideal for PCB level de-bug
  • Can also be used to test the low resistance grounding of ANSI/ESD S20.20, ANSI/ESD S6.1, ESD TR20.20 and compliance verification for grounding systems
  • Detection of shorts on PCB's and shorted coils in transformers
  • Assess health for alkaline and rechargeable batteries
  • Operational down to 5.5v battery voltage, maximizes battery life
  • Kits made in Silicon Valley California, USA

From our Past Customers on the Web: 

"I appreciate the great service, the kit went together extremely well. I am very impressed with the quality of the PC board and how well the meter works". - Peter

"Works well. I ordered tweezers for making it easier to test on board components. Even without the tweezers, this esr meter is easy to use with an easy to read chart on the front" G. Michael Phillips

"I am heavily involved with repairing and building vacuum tube amplifiers and use this piece of test equipment regularly. Great device! Kar M. Sandoval

"I'll tell you why I DO feel lucky, and that's having purchased from someone who still understands the meaning of customer service! That goes a long way in my book (well, if I had a book.)" Todd

" I am extremely happy with the purchase. It quickly determines the good or bad status of caps and would recommend its purchase. It will be worth the price the first time you diagnose a clean looking cap that is in fact internally damaged" Dan A Peterson

"I use a "Blue ESR Meter" which works great for testing ESR in circuit, as well as battery health, such as AA alkaline and re-chargeables. I found it's accuracy to be close to that of a Sencore analyzer with a 5 digit price tag" ThatOneGuy

Saw Uncle Doug using this on YouTube and thought I should get this as I had an old Fender amp I was restoring. This is the tool to have for checking old electrolytic capacitors. James C.

Very useful to identify bad capacitors that otherwise would not be detected. If you repair or work with vintage electronics you need this. Mark M.

Works well. I ordered tweezers for making it easier to test on board components. Even without the tweezers, this esr meter is easy to use with an easy to read chart on the front. Mike Phillips

I purchased my esr meter about a year ago and have used it from time to time and have yet to replace the battery. My guess is that battery usage would be similar to that of a typical ohm meter. I am extremely happy with the purchase. It quickly determines the good or bad status of caps and would recommend its purchase. It will be worth the price the first time you diagnose a clean looking cap that is in fact internally damaged. Dan A Peterson
