B&K Precision’s Model 890C Dual Display Capacitance Meter is an 11,000-count handheld capacitance meter that measures capacitance up to 50 mF. Straightforward to operate, the BK 890-C Capacitance Meter can make measurements quickly and simplifies the capacitance sorting process.

Unlike other handheld instruments such as LCR meters that make measurements using an AC signal with a specific test frequency, the The B&K Precision 890/C Capacitance Meter measures capacitance by applying a constant current that briefly charges, then discharges the connected capacitor.

The 890C includes many handy functions. The compare mode which supports 25 sets of High/Low limits, provides a convenient means to sort capacitors without needing to set up the meter each time. Data logging, Hold/Min/Max Average recording, tolerance, and relative mode features offer additional component troubleshooting tools.
