Demo #5: Peak Electronic Design Atlas LCR45 – LCR Component Meter with Impedance Measurement
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video we take a look at my new Peak Electronic Design Atlas LCR45 LCR Meter.
If you’re interested I have other equipment from Peak Electronic Design.
Over on the EEVblog forum I ask What’s special about the frequency 14.9254 kHz? The answer seems to be that this is 1/67th of 1 MHz, which is probably as precise as the microcontroller they’re using can go.
You can learn more about my ALKOY Capacitor Discharge Pen.
There are accessories available for the LCR45. Stuff I am planning to get includes:
- CRC01M – LCR Croc Clip set with 2mm sockets
- SMD03M – SMD Tweezers for LCR/ESR with 2mm sockets
- LCRLHP2 – Replacement LCR Hook Probes
- ENP90 – ESR/LCR Needle Probe set with 2mm sockets
- PCA23 – Peak Component Adapter for SOT-23
- 3DPAS – 3D Printed Peak Atlas Stand
I would get the LX30 – Extension Cable for LCR40/45 but it doesn’t appear to be in stock.
There are cases available but I am not planning to get any of those:

Square mesh holders installed
I’m waiting for some more of these to arrive: Office Desk Pen Pencil Pot Ruler Scissor Cup Mesh Organize Container.
While I wait you can see in the bottom photo the bunch of tools without a home. In the pictures below I have circled in red the four mesh holders I have recently installed. They’re black on black so hard to see, sorry about that.
The two on the left are clipped on with zip ties. The other two are screwed in, one screwed into the second drawer and the other to some load bearing dowel I also installed today.
I’m a bit paranoid about the shelf my oscilloscope is installed in will come away from the wall, so I have buttressed it with a dowel I had them cut to size for me today at the shop (307mm, exactly).
Demo #4: ANENG A3005 4000 Count Pen Type Handheld Multimeter | In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.

In this video we demo the ANENG A3005 Pen Type Handheld Multimeter. This pen-type multimeter can do voltage, resistance, continuity, and diode testing, among other functions. It’s a 4000 count device, meaning it can display about three and a half significant digits, for instance values such as 3,999 or 3.999 or 0.001.
If you’re interested you can check out all of my equipment from ANENG. They make good stuff! Of particular note is my ANENG AN-999S Bench Multimeter and my ANENG BT189 Battery Tester.
If you’re interested in any of this tech you can find it at AliExpress:

Demo #3: Peak Electronic Design Atlas DCA75 Pro Semiconductor Analyzer | In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video we put the Peak Electronic Design Atlas DCA75 Pro Semiconductor Analyzer through its paces.
My notes about this device are on my personal wiki, here: Peak Electronic Design Atlas DCA75 Pro Semiconductor Analyzer.
The DCA75 can measure triac and thyristor devices but the Peak Electronic Design Atlas SCR100 Triac And Thyristor Analyzer can do a better job of it.
If you want to measure zener diodes the DCA75 can do it but the Peak Electronic Design Atlas ZEN50 Zener Diode Analyzer can do a better job of it.
While reading the manual we learn about the PCA23 SOT-23 test adapter, while searching for that I found this behind-the-scenes deeplink from Peak Electronic Design: https://www.peakelec.co.uk/resources/pca23.html
The manual mentions the International Electrotechnical Commission – IEC 60617 – Graphical Symbols for Diagrams, which is an international standard for graphical symbols of electromechanical devices.
The support page is DCA75 (DCA Pro) Support, from there you can download software/firmware.

Unboxing #21: ATPK3 – Atlas Pro Pack – LCR45 + DCA75 + Case | In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video I unbox my ATPK3 – Atlas Pro Pack – LCR45 + DCA75 + Case which I ordered recently from element14. This bundle includes:
- Peak Electronic Design Atlas DCA75 Pro Semiconductor Analyzer
- Peak Electronic Design Atlas LCR45 LCR Meter
- GP23 battery
- AAA battery
- Case
I will do a demo of the DCA75 and LCR45 in future videos.
I haven’t seen GP23 batteries before, but apparently they are 12V and can deliver 23A. Seems like rather a lot!
I’m not sure what is special about the specific test frequency of 14.9254 kHz, but I have asked on the EEVblog forum.

Unboxing #20: METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.
You can support this channel on Patreon: patreon.com/JohnElliotV
In this video I unbox my new METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station which I ordered recently from element14.
I keep my notes about this equipment on my person wiki, over here: METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station.
Before I purchased this equipment I made some notes about my research and decisions and element14 had the best price by far.
As I mention in the video my new PS-900 soldering station uses the METCAL SmartHeat technology. You can read more about SmartHeat over here:
Per the above links the Metcal SmartHeat technology is available in various solutions:
The PS Series (which I got) is the entry level system. You can spend much more than I did!
I found this document Metcal – Tip Temperature Guide which describes the various tip options (Metcal calls the tips “cartridges”) along with their temperature specifications.
As promised the link for my electric scissors is here: Jackcat Electric Scissors.
