LCR Elite2 - An Elite LCR Meter for SMD Components
The LCR Elite2 is our latest tweezer-style LCR meter from the Elite series. It has been redesigned and re-engineered to surpass the LCR Elite1, and to improve your experience on LCR measurements.
The LCR Elite2 comes with our patent pending Aegis Technology, which automatically protects your meter from being damaged by energized components.
The chipset and algorithm are more powerful and deliver more accurate results.

Innovative Aegis Technology – Protect Your LCR Meter
The LCR Elite2 is protected by the Aegis Technology, our patent pending solution to automatically protect the meter from being damaged by energized components.
The traditional LCR meters have a common vulnerability to high voltage and current from the component they are measuring. In many cases, the component under testing can have stored energy, for example a charged capacitor or a powered on board. The energy in the component is a common problem that causes damage to LCR meters, thus requiring expensive and time-consuming repairs.
The Aegis Technology solves this problem. It provides over voltage protection up to +/-48Vdc (or +/-34Vac). In normal operation, it is transparent and doesn’t affect the measurement results thanks to the low parasitic design. When an abnormal voltage is applied on the meter’s test tips, no matter positive or negative, the Aegis Technology detects it right away and automatically disconnects it from the meter. The “OVER VOLT” message is shown on the display to remind the user to de-energize the component under testing. To return the LCR Elite2 to normal operation mode, simply remove the meter from the component and press the button. No components are damaged and no fuse replacement is required.
An Accurate LCR Meter with Self Calibration
Built with more advanced chipset and algorithm, LCR Elite2 greatly improves measurement accuracy. It delivers a basic accuracy of 0.2% for both resistance and capacitance and 0.4% for inductance. Each meter is fully calibrated during production and shipped with a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable calibration certificate.
The LCR Elite2 provides self calibration function that can be done in less than 30 seconds by simply shorting and opening two test tips. The self calibration significantly reduces the device’s internal and external parasitic parameters for better accuracy, especially for measuring smaller resistance, capacitance or inductance where the parasitic parameters may greatly influence the test results.

The LCR tweezers are accurate, easy to use and easy to read. They also read quickly and don't "feel around" for a stable reading. Works left and right handed. K6JEY

The LCR Elite2 is an excellent instrument for SMD component measurement and in-circuit troubleshooting.I use this instrument primarily for board repairing. It works almost exactly as described – accurate, precise and fairly easy to use. I can find bad components on the board in a matter of minutes, which is much more convenient than holding two test probes and connecting them to a multimeter.I really like the Elite2’s “Aegis” over-voltage protection function as well. It’s a “just-in-case” hardware that’s definitely good for just general peace of mind, since it’s pretty easy to forget about the board power when I have to test so many boards a day.The Elite2 is also good at measuring and sorting loose components. I have a bunch of SMD components with different sizes and values. The Elite2 can easily pick up these components and show accurate results with its automatic detection feature, so I don’t need to manually switch test settings between measuring different components. It makes the measurement very convenient, especially for identifying the components that are not clearly marked.The Elite2 provides 0.2% basic accuracy and 10KHz test frequency which meet the requirement for my daily use, but for users who need to measure very small inductors and capacitors, I suggest the LCR Pro1 model which provides 0.1% basic accuracy and 100KHz test frequency.

To sum up my review, the LCR Elite2 is a great LCR tweezers for SMD component measurements and in circuit troubleshooting. I highly recommend this product.When I was shopping around for LCR tweezers, I found several different models on Amazon, from the high-performance models, which sell for around $300 with 0.1% accuracy and 100KHz bandwidth, to the less expensive models, which typically sell under $200 with 0.5% accuracy and 10KHz bandwidth. After carefully comparing their features and price, I bought the Elite2 LCR tweezers because it was the best for my purposes. This instrument provides 0.2% accuracy and 10KHz bandwidth. Although it has lower specs when compared to the high-end models, it is more than sufficient for my application. With the $200 price range, this is, in my opinion, the best performance to price LCR tweezers on the market so far.I have been using the Elite2 LCR tweezers for about a month now and am very impressed with the performance of this instrument. As a R&D engineer in the semiconductor industry, I am using it primarily on SMD component identification and prototype board troubleshooting. This LCR tweezers is super convenient. It reaches SMD components easily and shows measurement results accurately and quickly, especially in the auto mode that detects component type (resistor, capacitor or inductor) automatically using optimized test frequencies. The self calibration function is handy too. It makes the results more accurate when measuring components with low values.I also love the tweezers’ over voltage protection function. This is a must-have feature for me because my previous LCR meter was damaged by high voltage when I used it to measure on a board that was powered on. With the over voltage protection function, I have a peace in mind and don’t need to worry about such damage anymore in case I forget to unplug the power when I use the tweezers for in-circuit measurement. It makes the tweezers much more robust and reliable.

When receiving the Elite1 i found some problems for my particular use. I contacted the LCR research and got quick and very helpful support. Thank you. For those with higher requirements I suggest to buy the Pro models which work excellent.
