Lutron LCR Meter (LCR-9173) Inductance, Capacitance & Resistance

Lutron LCR Meter (LCR-9173) Inductance, Capacitance & Resistance

The LCR-9173 is a high-precision LCR meter designed to measure inductance, capacitance, resistance, and impedance across multiple test frequencies. With four selectable frequencies (100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, and 10 kHz), it provides flexible measurement options suitable for both laboratory and field applications. The meter supports a wide range of components, including SMDs, and offers advanced features like data hold, open/short calibration, and dual power supply options. Compact and user-friendly, the LCR-9173 is ideal for accurate component testing and troubleshooting.
