Product type
A digital multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. It typically measures voltage, current, and resistance, and can also include additional features such as capacitance, frequency, and temperature measurements. Digital multimeters are made of durable plastic housing and contain an analog-to-digital converter to display measurements on a digital screen.
| Measurement functions | Voltage, current, resistance, and more |
| Display type | Digital LCD or LED |
| Measurement range | Varies by function, typically from microvolts to kilovolts |
| Accuracy | Typically ±0.5% to ±1.5% |
| Power source | Battery-operated or AC powered |
| Input impedance | Usually 1 MΩ or higher |
| Safety rating | CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV depending on model |
When choosing a digital multimeter, consider the measurement functions you need, such as AC/DC voltage, current, and resistance. Look for accuracy ratings and safety certifications relevant to your application. Specify the required measurement range and any additional features like data logging or connectivity options. It's also important to consider the quantity needed for your operations, as bulk purchases may offer cost savings.
