DT71 Mini Digital Tweezers are among the nicest, most handsome digital test equipment we've come across. The DT71 is compact and pocket-sized for easy portable use. They're a perfect assistant for folks who have assorted SMT components that need verification - either because they aren't marked or because the text is so tiny. Great for checking passives, we like them for QA procedure and also to make sure our 0402 RF components are the right values before soldering them in. You can also use it on live circuitry to verify voltage
DT71 Mini Digital Tweezers feature a pair of thickened gold-plated interchangeable tweezer tips. The tips can automatically measure SMDs including resistor, capacitor, inductance, voltage, frequency, and diode. Meanwhile, a built-in miniature waveform signal generator can output a variety of waveform signals. The DT71 Mini Digital Tweezers are a chic, well-designed addition to your toolkit for testing and debugging.
Simply 'grab' a resistor, capacitor, diode, or LED to test. It has a "scanning" mode where it will try to guess what type of component you have, or you can select the component type with the Function button and it will auto-range for you. We find these ideal for checking unmarked-SMD values, and LED polarity/colors! Comes in a nice clear hard case and an extra set of tips.
Features:
- 90x16 OLED screen rotates 4 ways, automatically adjusted!
- Accelerometer-based smart gesture recognition automatically identifies left-hand or right-hand use and adjusts OLED display
- Simple touch power button
- Quick tap - switch functions
- Long press - switch menu options
- Easily replace the tweezer tips if they get bent or damaged
- Built-in dual lithium batteries in test arms
- One full charge (2 hours) lasts 10 hours
- Can automatically measure resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, voltage, and frequency
Includes:
- DT71 Controller (the plug-in part)
- 1 x Set of test arms (the tweezer body)
- 2 x Tweezer tip pairs
- 1 x Data cable with USB-C connector
- Plastic carrying case
- Safety Instructions
We also carry less fancy but just as handy test tweezers over here.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- OLED
- OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, a display type where each pixel produces its own light. It matters because OLED screens are thin, high-contrast and easy to read for small status displays, but they can be more sensitive to image burn-in than some other display types.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
