Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought

 

The DER DE-5000 is the one I have been considering as an adjunct to my ancient
impedance bridges. I want something portable for checking NOS tantalums at the
local surplus electronics store. It is too bad it does not do leakage or simple
DC voltage or current as well.

I got a DER DE-5000 LCR Meter with TL-21 TL-22 TL-23 off ebay for only
$82. They are well discussed on the EEVblog.

In many of the discussions by this Group, it is highly recommended to
test capacitors (and sometimes inductors) using LCR meters. I can
measure resistors with my DMM, but have no way (yet) to measure/test
capacitors and/or inductors.

What relatively affordable LCR meters do you guys (and ladies)
recommend for a hobbyists use at home? I doubt that I need a
NIST-certified or other high-end bench-top meter, just something
decent to give reliable enough measurements/tests for home/hobbyist
use -- a portable meter would fit my needs just fine, I think.

Thanks,

Bob
