The IM3536 is a general-purpose LCR meter for measuring electronic components such as capacitors and inductors. It brings together a broad measurement frequency span of DC and 4 Hz to 8 MHz with a guaranteed accuracy range that starts at 1 mΩ and extends to 200 MΩ, serving a wide range of applications from R&D through production lines.
Across development and research work, the IM3536 supports measurement under varied conditions — for example analyzing a coil's resonance point while sweeping frequency, or evaluating a sample that exhibits signal dependency by changing the measurement signal during the test. Named applications include electrolytic capacitor low-ESR measurement and power supply coil impedance testing, which demands strong frequency characteristics. On the production side it offers comparator (Hi/IN/Lo) and BIN judgment for component sorting, plus a continuous measurement mode that runs one component through multiple saved condition sets in a single test session.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois.

Important: This product is not supplied with measurement probes or test fixtures — select and purchase the probe or test fixture option appropriate for your application separately.
Important: The DC BIAS VOLTAGE UNIT 9268-10 (measurement frequency range 40 Hz to 8 MHz, maximum applied voltage ±40 V DC) requires a separate external DC bias power supply.
Important: For an RS-232C connection, a crossover cable can be used; the RS-232C CABLE 9637 can be used without hardware flow control.
Recommended pairing: the SMD TEST FIXTURE 9677, a direct-connection fixture rated DC to 120 MHz for surface-mount components sized 0402 to 0603 (EIA) / 1005 to 1608 (JIS).
