Keysight E4981A – Capacitance Meter (REQUIRES PURCHASE OF FREQUENCY OPTION)

• A FREQUENCY OPTION MUST BE ORDERED IN ADDITION TO THE INSTRUMENT
• High speed measurement: 2.3 ms (1 MHz), 3.0 ms (1 kHz), 11.0 ms (120 Hz)
• Accurate C-D testing: 0.07%, 0.0005
• Accurate and repeatable measurements, even small capacitance can be measured.
• Wide measurement range from small to large capacitance 0 F to 2.0 mF

The E4981A capacitance meter offers a high speed with reliable measurements for ceramic capacitor testing in the production lines. The E4981A realizes the measurement capabilities of capacitance from small to large values with accurate measurements. The E4981A capacitance meter contributes to improvements of the test throughput while attaining excellent component quality for ceramic capacitor testing.

Please note, it is necessary to order a frequency option with this instrument. Part numbers and frequencies are as follows:

• E4981A-001 – 120 Hz/1 kHz/1 MHz
• E4981A-002 – 120 Hz/1 kHz

Bin sorting

Up to 9 bins for C-D/Q/R/G pass/fail

Scanner interface

Open/Short/Load channel-by-channel error correction up to 256 channels.

Contact check function

The contact check function permits detection of possible contact failure. No additional time is required to perform it.

Synchronous source

The test signal can be applied while a measurement is performed. This function reduces contact pin abrasion due to large test current, because the test signal is not applied at the moment the device is contacted and removed.

Frequency shift -2%, -1%, +1% and +2% is available. When two or more capacitance meters are needed to integrate into an auto handler system, such as the array-type capacitor test system, this function eliminates the interference between adjacent measurement terminals. The fluctuation in measurements can be reduced.
