Newly released PC board-type measuring instrument module, C meter board "ZM-C2H-PE," compatible with the inspection of mass-produced multilayer ceramic capacitors that are becoming smaller and higher capacity.

コンテック
Contec has developed a measurement instrument module for mass production inspection of multilayer ceramic capacitors, and has started accepting orders today, December 17, 2024, for the PCI Express compatible C meter board "ZM-C2H-PE" (hereinafter referred to as the new product). The new product is a PCI Express bus-compliant C meter board capable of measuring capacitance (C) and loss coefficient (D) with high speed and precision. It features 4-terminal measurements for two channels, allowing a single unit to incorporate the functionality of two benchtop instruments into a Windows PC, contributing to the miniaturization and cost reduction of electronic component inspection systems. In recent years, the demand for multilayer ceramic capacitors (hereinafter referred to as MLCC) has increased due to the proliferation of smart devices such as smartphones and the electrification of mobility, including automobiles. Additionally, these devices require miniaturization and extended battery life, leading to advancements in the miniaturization and high capacity of MLCCs. The new product enables measurements of capacitance (C) ranging from 400pF to a maximum of 1400μF and energy loss coefficient (D), making it suitable for inspecting high-capacity MLCCs.
