Handheld Digital Meter identifies, tests electronic components.
Press Release Summary:
With gold-plated tips, Quick-Test Tweezers accelerate circuit board testing and component identification for electronics manufacturers. Nonmagnetic tips automatically recognize and make reliable contact with small semiconductors, regardless of whether they are mounted or not. Also suited for conventional parts with wire leads too short for test terminals, one-touch instrument lets users sort and evaluate loose components as well as perform on-board measurements and continuity checks.

Aven Quick-Test Tweezers Identify, Test Electronic Components
ANN ARBOR, MI -- A handheld digital meter with gold-plated tips speeds circuit board testing and component identification by electronics manufacturers. The new Quick-Test Tweezers from Aven, Inc. are designed to replace bulky multi-meters for troubleshooting and parts recognition.
The compact measurement device lets users sort and evaluate loose components, perform on-board measurements and do continuity checks. Precise, nonmagnetic tips automatically recognize and make reliable contact with the smallest semiconductors, whether mounted or not. The probe also is ideal for conventional parts with wire leads too short for test terminals.
"This one-touch instrument simplifies quality assurance and diagnostic tasks," says Mike Shahpurwala, president of Aven. "Its automatic recognition feature usually is available only on higher-end models."
Components are identified automatically on an LCD screen as a resistor, capacitor or diode. During continuity checks, a buzzer sounds when resistance is below 30 ohms.
Applications in R&D, assembly, training and tech support also include testing for shorts, determining diode polarity and extracting parts from a printed circuit board. One-hand use allows note-taking during operation.
Aven's Quick-Test Tweezers have a thermoplastic rubber coating for comfort and durability. An auto-power shutoff and overload protection preserve the long-life Lithium battery, which is included. A low-power indicator shows when battery replacement will be needed. The instrument's storage box has two spare test pins, which are gold-plated to reduce resistance and prevent rust.
