MastechMS-5308 MGL MASTECH

The MASTECH MS5308 is a professional dual-display LCR/ESR meter for precision resistance, capacitance and inductance measurements.

Technical description

The MS5308 automatically identifies L/C/R and supports auto or manual ranging, DCR measurement, series/parallel equivalent-circuit modes and secondary parameters D, Q, ESR and phase angle. It provides test frequencies of 100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz and 100kHz, with a 20000-count main display and 2000-count secondary display. Overall ranges extend to 200MOhm resistance, 20mF capacitance and 20kH inductance. It also provides Data Hold, backlight, Auto Power Off and a computer interface.

Typical applications

Testing and sorting capacitors, inductors and resistors, ESR measurement, component selection for filters and power supplies, R&D laboratories, electronics repair and quality control.

Compatibility note

The MS5308 is an LCR/ESR meter, not a general-purpose voltage/current multimeter. Capacitors must be discharged before connection and external voltage must not be applied to the measurement terminals.
