Keysight U1782B SMD Tweezers for LCR Meters

The Keysight U1782B SMD Tweezers are a precision accessory designed for use with the Keysight U1700 series handheld capacitor and LCR meters. They enable the simple and efficient measurement of surface-mount device (SMD) components directly on a circuit board.

A key feature is the inclusion of a guard end on the tweezers, which is to be connected to the meter's guard terminal. This design provides enhanced noise immunity, ensuring more stable and accurate readings in electrically noisy environments. The tweezers have been redesigned with a new shielded, rigid cable, which further improves both usability and long-term measurement stability.

Applications & Use

These specialised tweezers are intended for testing the capacitance, inductance, or resistance of SMD components. Their design allows for easy probing of small components without the need for desoldering, making them an essential tool for electronics repair, quality assurance, and prototyping work.

Specifications & Performance

The tweezers offer high measurement accuracy, with a capacitance accuracy (tweezers open) of less than 0.7 pF, a resistance accuracy (tweezers shorted) of less than 0.5 ohm, and an inductance accuracy (tweezers shorted) of less than 1.2 µH. The total cable length is 815 mm, providing ample reach for convenient testing. Constructed from durable materials, they are built to withstand regular use in professional and laboratory settings.

With their focus on precision, noise reduction, and ease of use, the Keysight U1782B SMD Tweezers are a reliable and effective solution for anyone requiring accurate in-circuit measurements of SMD components.
