Data Sheet

Smart Tweezers™ is a handheld LCR meter of a new
concept. It provides a perfect solution for testing
and identification of Surface Mount Devices as well
as troubleshooting of complex electronic systems.
Its unique mechanical and electronic design
combines a pair of precise gold-plated tweezers
and a digital LCR meter in compact, lightweight,
battery powered instrument. The probe is able to
measure resistance, capacitance, inductance with high
accuracy and automatic component identification
Testing Surface Mount Devices
Surface mount devices are usually tiny and without
wire leads, making it more difficult to test and
identify SMD than conventional components.
Smart Tweezers™ gives users an easy way to sort
and evaluate loose components and to perform
on-board measurements and debugging.
Precise leads produced by IDEAL-TEK S.A., Switzerland
reliably contact even the smallest SMD components and
take measurements from already mounted devices. The
probe can also be used to test conventional components
with wire leads too short to insert into the test terminals.
Automated Measurements
Do measurements faster with Smart Tweezers™ using
the automatic component identification function
eliminating unnecessary trial and error time.
Smart Tweezers™ automatically specifies L, C, or R
with parallel and series mode and selects a proper
measurement range and test frequency for high accuracy
measurements. The unit displays component type and
more detailed component analysis such as Z and ESR.
Lightweight and Ergonomic
The integrated measurement head allow the operator
to use one hand and focus attention on the tested
component and on the job at hand. Sorting, testing and
troubleshooting become more efficient and cost effective.
4-wire shielded Smart Tweezers™ handles assure low
capacitance and resistance offset during measurements.
