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 (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- 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.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
- USB-C
- USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
