Series 1880 Milliohmmeter

USES: Low Resistance Meter

• Production Testing for Contact
Resistance of Switches, Relays, Introduction
Connectors, Cables, Printed The 1880 Milliohmmeter provides ease of use, digital display and excellent accuracy for
Circuit Boards and Other performing low resistance measurements on switches, relays, connectors and a variety
Low Resistance Devices of other devices. The instrument offers a wide measurement range, from 1 µohm to
2 Mohms, with constant current ranging from 1 A to 1 µA. A built-in comparator makes
• Component Testing of Resistors, the unit ideal for go/nogo testing in a production environment and is also adaptable
Motors, Fuses, Squibs and for use in automated system applications with it’s optional IEEE-488 interface.

Description
• Incoming Inspection and Quality Precision Measurements The 0.05% accuracy of the 1880 makes for consistent,
Assurance Testing reliable test results from this economically priced unit. Nine measurement ranges,
• Conductivity Evaluations in Product automatic or manually selectable, provide wide coverage between 2 Mohms and 1 µohm
Design with constant current between 1 µA and 1 A.

Easy to Use The 1880’s auto ranging and digital display means the instrument is ready
to begin measuring on power-up, just connect the test device and meaningful results
FEATURES: are immediately shown.
• Measurement Range, 1 µohm to 2
Mohm Automatic Zeroing The device under test (DUT) is connected to the instrument
front panel via a four-terminal Kelvin connection. This, along with the auto zero function
• 1 µA to 1 A, Constant Current for removing any stray resistance, renders very accurate low resistance measurements,
• 0.05% Measurement Accuracy independent of the test leads being used.

• Measurement Speed of 5/second Go/NoGo Testing A built-in thumb wheel comparator for setting high and low limits
• Easy to Read Digital Display provides for fast, simplified, pass/fail testing in a high volume production environment. A
nominal value can also be set by the operator, where test results are shown as a positive
• Four-Terminal Kelvin Connections or negative percent deviation around this value.
• Automatic Zeroing
Automated Testing For automated system applications, the instrument includes an
• Built-in Comparator for Go/NoGo I/O interface connection with remote start and pass/fail outputs. An optional IEEE-488
Testing interface is also available (or added later), which enables the 1880 to be used under
