The B&K Precision models 885 and 886 synthesized in-circuit LCR/ESR
meters are the first handheld meters of this type on the market, with a wide
range of test frequencies up to 10 kHz for model 885 and 100 kHz for
model 886, many measurement parameters including Z, L, C, DCR, ESR, D,
Q, and Ø as well. The 885 and 886 are designed for both component
evaluation on the production line and fundamental impedance testing for
benchtop applications. With a built-in direct test fixture, you can test the lead
components very easily. The optional 4-wire test clip can give a convenient
connection to larger components and assemblies with the accuracy of 4-wire
testing. The LCR meters offer fast, reliable, and versatile testing at low cost,
making the 885 and 886 the most advanced handheld LCR meters available
on the market today.
