Precision Component Analyzers

6430A & 6440A

The 6430A and 6440A

Precision Component

Analyzers have been designed to allow complete and accurate characterization of any component.

A full complement of measurement functions, industry-leading accuracy and a wide frequency range provides the user with a complete solution for component testing.

The 6430A upper frequency limit is 500kHz while the 6440A extends to 3MHz and adds the ability to graphically display measurements in real time versus frequency.

If your business is design or manufacture of components, or you are a user of components as part of your equipment design, these products have been specifically developed with you in mind and at an affordable price.

Industry leading basic accuracy

Wayne Kerr Electronics has over 50 years experience in developing accurate measurement instruments. The 6430A and 6440A continue this tradition by providing an industry leading accuracy of

0.02% combined with the measurement integrity and functionality demanded by modern industry.

Capacitor testing requires accurate, repeatable and stable Dissipation Factor measurements. The 6430A and 6440A provide the performance required while displaying measurements at high resolution.

All the measurement functions you need!

Whatever measurement you need the

6430A and 6440A will more than likely have it, and more besides! Providing all the well-known measurement parameters of Impedance (Z), Phase Angle (o),

Inductance (L), Capacitance (C), DC

Resistance (Rdc), AC Resistance (Rac),

Quality Factor (Q) and Dissipation Factor

(D). In addition Admittance (Y),

Conductance (G), Reactance (X) &

Susceptance (B) are available.

The Resonant Frequency can be automatically calculated for any component together with its equivalent series or parallel circuit at that frequency.

If you want to look at component performance over a fixed number of frequencies, use Multi Frequency mode.

In this mode the operator decides which parameter is to be measured and at what frequency. The 6430A and 6440A does the rest, creating an easy to read table on the large LCD display. It will even tell you if each test has passed or failed.

Real time graphical sweep on all measurement functions up to

3MHz

Characterize a component graphically and in real time over the full frequency band of the 6440A.

The user can select any of the available measurement functions and graph the parameter in real time against frequency. The user is also able to toggle between the major and minor term, for example

Impedance and Phase Angle. Both axes can be selected as either linear or logarithmic.

Following the first sweep the user can hit the FIT key, which automatically scales the vertical axis to provide the optimum display for the component under test. A marker is also displayed which can be positioned at any point on the graph using the navigation keys. Use the MAX and MIN keys to position the marker at the peak or trough of the graph.

The marker position is displayed at the bottom of the screen showing the vertical axis value, its minor term and frequency.

Characterize components to

3MHz

The 6440A can test any component up to 3MHz while the 6430A has a maximum frequency of

500KHz. Both instruments start at 20Hz.

Frequencies can be set with a resolution of < 1% on the 6440A.

Component Analyzers

6430A & 6440A

Accurate measurements guaranteed, and at high speed!

In some applications absolute measurement accuracy is a must while for others high speed is critical. The 6430A and 6440A provide both industry leading accuracy and extremely fast measurement speed. The 20 measurements per second performance makes the instruments suitable for the production environment as well as the design laboratory.

Printing results and external control

Need to produce a hard copy of your test results? Whether it’s a single parameter, table of results in Multi Frequency or a logarithmic graph of component performance, the 6430A and 6440A will output the results directly to a printer. If you need to control the instrument automatically, use the GPIB interface and you can achieve complete external control.

Output lines are also available to control a bin handler interface. Component tolerance levels may be pre-set and stored. A 25-way D connector mounted on the rear panel gives easy access for connection to external component handling equipment.

Excellent performance and unbeatable price

As the leader in our field and with over 50 years experience of developing component analyzers you would expect

Wayne Kerr to provide the best performance in the industry, and you would be right. But what you might not be aware of, is that Wayne Kerr is able to offer all this performance, whilst delivering it at the most competitive selling price in the market.

Large LCD display and intuitive user interface

Whatever environment you work in production test, design, quality, service or goods inward inspection - presentation of the measured data and instrument control are a basic requirement of all users. Wayne Kerr have responded to this need.

Using a large bright LCD display, all the measurement and set up information is made available to the user, with measured values displayed in large characters. If the user needs to change the set up this is straightforward too. Using a soft key menu system you are led through intuitive commands which prompt at each point for the relevant information. No matter what your knowledge or skill level these products make set up and testing easy.
