PCX Acquires Sencore LC103 In-Circuit Capacitor/Inductor Analyzer For Speedy In-House Testing

April 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Pacific Component Xchange, Inc. has acquired the Sencore LC103 adding electrical testing capabilities for capacitors and inductors families of parts.  The Unit includes the following testing parameters (http://www.sencore.com/products/In-Circuit-Capacitor-Inductor-Analyzer-LC103_183.html):

   **Analyzes capacitors/resistors/inductors for all four failures out-of-circuit:
      *Value from 1pF to 20F
      *Equivalent series resistance
      *Leakage with up to 1,000 volts applied
      *Dielectric absorption
   **Tests SMT components in-circuit and accurately with exclusive, time saving    accessories
   **Analyses inductors with exclusive, patented tests for:
      *Value from .1uHto 20H
      *Opens or shorts
      *Even on shorted turn with patented “Ringer” test
   **Makes all test, compares the results to EIA standards, and tells you ‘GOOD’ or ‘BAD’ -    automatically

“The Sencore LC103 In-Circuit Capacitor/Inductor Analyzer gives us the ability to test a units’ proper value and quality which allows us to thoroughly analyze every shipment of inductors and capacitors insuring they meet manufacturer’s specs precisely.” Said Ed Dimmler, Director of Quality and Warehouse Operations.   “Furthermore we are able to test for in-circuit capacitor value, ESR tests  along with automatic out-of-circuit test for capacitor value, leakage, and dielectric absorption,” said Mark Pappas, Quality Technician.

“Our team’s ability to screen and protect our clients effectively against counterfeit and suspect-counterfeit material has been significantly increased with the addition of this capability,” said Gilles Aouizerat, CEO, PCX Inc.  “we will continue to invest in our abilities, as an organization, to be on the cutting edge of the fight against a rising tide of counterfeit material proliferation in the supply chain.  We are committed to continuously add to our capabilities and quality measures.”
