LCR-Reader

LCR-Reader LCR-Readers provide LCR/ESR, Voltage, Frequency measurements, LED/Diode testing and Oscilloscope.

LCR-Reader is a handheld LCR and ESR meter in a lightweight device. When the gold plated tweezers are in contact with a surface mount device, LCR-Reader will automatically determine the type of component and best test range before measuring with a basic accuracy of 0.5%. The LCR-Reader saves time while working with SMT because it requires no set-up between measurements. When needed, the measuremen

t mode can be selected manually with just a press of the navigation button. All measurement values, including the measurement mode, type of component, any secondary values such as an ESR value, and test measurement range are instantly available on the OLED display. Features on LCR-Reader include:
-Automatic and manual L, C, R and ESR measurements
-Basic accuracy of 0.5%
-Automatic best range selection
-1 oz. weight
-Hard-shelled carrying case
-Li-Ion battery with micro-USB charging

Siborg is now offering NIST Traceable Calibration Certificates when you order from the LCR-Reader Store! Please note that the device and the calibration certificate must be ordered together.

Working SMD boards means your meter can’t be “close”—it has to identify resistance, capacitance, inductance, and ESR quickly and accurately, without fighting menus or setups. In our latest guide, we break down what actually matters when choosing the best meter for SMD work: measurement speed, range, frequency behavior, accuracy, and practical features that prevent mix-ups during troubleshooting and QC. Whether you’re pairing tools on a production line or repairing down to tiny packages, picking the right specifications saves hours and reduces rework. For a no-fluff, engineering-first way to choose with confidence, this is the one to know.

Probe tips aren’t “set and forget”—they wear, contaminate, and lose contact pressure, which can quietly skew your resistance, capacitance, inductance, or ESR readings. In our latest guide, we break down the practical signs it’s time to replace your probe tips and how to keep measurement consistency with the right technique for SMT and fine-pitch work. You’ll get engineering-focused criteria tied to real bench performance, so you can reduce repeat checks, prevent component mis-identification, and stay within certified accuracy expectations.

Benchtop grade LCR measurement tool that fits in your pocket to be presented by Siborg at VIMF 2026 .

The LCR Reader MPB is a 36 g tweezers style LCR/multimeter that delivers 0.1% basic accuracy and test frequencies up to 250 kHz, making it ideal for high density SMT, high speed, and RF adjacent boards commonly produced in Vietnam’s growing electronics sector.

Why it matters for VIMF visitors and factory engineers:
– Tweezers style, gold plated tips for fast, repeatable SMD probing (down to 0201)
– Native CAN protocol output for direct integration with PLC based fixtures and automated test systems
– Optional Bluetooth for engineering, NPI, and QA data logging
– NIST traceable calibration, ready for ISO/AS controlled plants and export oriented manufacturers

Use LCR Reader MPB for incoming inspection, SMT line sampling, rework verification, and automated end of line test—without relying only on bulky benchtop LCR meters.

👉 Meet our local partner LIDIN CO., LTD at Booth No.198 at Vietnam Industrial and Manufacturing Fair (VIMF) to see LCR Reader MPB in action and discuss integration into your smart factory and automation workflows.
