FEATURE-RICH HAND-HELD DIGITAL MULTIMETERS

The U1250A is a new series of affordable hand-held digital multimeters. Engineers and technicians in today’s electronics industry face an increasing need for high-performance portable instruments in service and maintenance applications. These new meters address these market needs, allowing users to perform tests in-plant and off-site without compromising performance.

Built to ease electronic troubleshooting and validation, the high-performance, portable U1250A series enables engineers and technicians to complete their day-to-day tasks without being confined to the bench. The initial entry in this series comprises two feature-packed models, the U1251A and the U1252A, which are designed for the cost-sensitive test and measurement market.

The meters provide 4.5-digit resolution with 50,000 count full-scale on dual display and basic accuracy of up to 0.025%, offering simultaneous and accurate measurements and providing the flexibility to perform either quick validation or tolerance checks and marginal failure troubleshooting. In addition to the basic measurement functions, these models come with capabilities such as automated datalogging with the optional PC interface cable, a 20-MHz frequency counter, and a programmable square wave generator and temperature measurement. The meters are rated at CAT III 1000 V. Both models come in a robust package with shock-absorbing over-mold. They operate within their rated specification from –20° up to 55°C.

The U1250A series starts at $399.
