Each multi-layer ceramic capacitor, or MLCC, consists of several hundred thin ceramic sheets arranged in layers to form electrodes that can store charges when a voltage is applied. Advances in laminating technology have dramatically increased the capacitance of ceramic capacitors, which in the past were limited to low-capacitance designs. Today, the typical mobile phone, computer, or LCD television contains anywhere from several hundred to 1,000 MLCCs.

• Industry-best 6.8 ms measurement time for faster testing
  The SM7810 Series speeds leak current testing on MLCC production lines by 30% compared to previous designs, posting an industry-best measurement time of just 6.8 ms (including all instrument operation from contact check to pass/fail judgment). Faster testing means dramatically shorter testing times and improved efficiency.


• Simultaneous measurement of 8 channels for faster testing times and more efficient use of space
  Where previous models offered 4 channels of measurement capability, the SM7810 Series delivers 8, increasing the number of MLCCs that can be tested at once and boosting efficiency. Since fewer installed units are required to test a given application, less space is needed when embedding the SM7810 or SM7810-20 in automated MLCC sorting equipment.


• High-current range (1 mA) for high-speed pass/fail judgment of high-capacity MLCCs
  Thanks to its high-current 1 mA range, the SM7810 Series can make pass/fail judgments for high-capacity MLCCs at a high rate of speed.


• Contact check function for improved reliability
  The SM7810 Super MΩ HiTESTER series can perform contact check during high-speed measurement in order to help prevent erroneous test results caused by incomplete contact between the measurement probes and the target workpiece. This capability allows the instrument to deliver more reliable results.
