Test fixture for SMD/chip components
The GW INSTEK LCR-15A is a test fixture for measuring chip/SMD components, specified for DC to 30 MHz. The product is stated by the manufacturer as an accessory compatible with the LCR-8200 series and comes with a STD-LOAD kit for high-frequency measurement calibration.
Function and construction
The LCR-15A provides a two-terminal DUT connection and is mounted on the measuring instrument via four BNC terminals with fastening handles. The test fixture has adjustable HIGH and LOW test pins, a test stage for placing the component, and an L-shaped bracket that can be mounted for increased stability. The STD-LOAD (specified as 100 Ω) is supplied as part of the kit for HF LOAD calibration at frequencies above 3 MHz.
Measurement procedure and calibration
This test fixture is designed to be used with the instrument's CORRECTION or FIXTURE COMPENSATION function. The manufacturer's guide describes step-by-step installation and recommended procedure for:
- Attaching BNC terminals to the LCR instrument using fastening handles.
- Adjusting the interval between LOW and HIGH test pins for correct DUT fit.
- Performing OPEN, SHORT and HF LOAD corrections; HF LOAD calibration is recommended at measurement frequencies >3 MHz.
- Placing the DUT vertically in the test stage and ensuring correct contact between test pins and component.
