Profile:

The KD2878-1 Low-Frequency Dielectric Constant and Dielectric Loss Tester is a high-precision, industrial-grade analytical instrument integrated with state-of-the-art measurement technologies.

The system consists of a high-performance impedance analyzer host and the S916 specialized micrometer test fixture. The host features a high-resolution $800 \times 480$ TFT color LCD touch screen that graphically monitors real-time measurements and parameter settings. Operating on an intuitive embedded control workflow, it allows users to perform full-frequency open-circuit zero calibrations, execute multi-parameter lists, and perform curve scans effortlessly.

Paired with the S916 fixture—which integrates a 0–25mm electronic digital micrometer with sub-micron resolution ($0.001\text{mm}$)—the analyzer eliminates contact gaps and thickness measurement errors, converting raw capacitance readings directly into absolute dielectric values via dedicated analysis software. With rich connectivity, including LAN, RS-232C, USB, and Handler interfaces, it seamlessly transitions from laboratory research to automated factory quality control.

Features:

1. High-Precision Dual-Parameter Measuring Core

  • Comprehensive Parameter Display: Simultaneously measures and displays parallel capacitance ($C_p$), dissipation factor ($D$), dissipation monitoring, voltage, and current values in real time.

  • Broad Frequency Selection: Supports adjustable test frequencies up to $1000\text{Hz}$ with a high frequency resolution of $0.001\text{Hz}$ to capture the subtle dielectric responses of materials.

  • Intelligent Calibration Mechanism: Features an advanced "User Calibration" menu supporting full-frequency open-circuit zero clearing to eliminate residual fixture capacitance and lead impedance.

2. S916 Specialized Micrometer & Multifunctional Fixtures

  • Integrated Thickness Metrology: The S916 fixture features a built-in electronic micrometer ($0.001\text{mm}$ resolution, $\pm0.003\text{mm}$ accuracy) with a metric/imperial one-key toggle and a relative zero button, linking physical thickness ($d$) directly with electrical calculation.

  • Liquid Test Cup Adaptability: The lower plate of the parallel plate capacitor can be disassembled and swapped with optional 7mm or 32mm deep liquid cups for precise fluid dielectric evaluation using the capacitance-area formula:

    $$\varepsilon_r = \frac{C}{\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{d}{S}$$
  • Ultra-Thin & Sticky Material Handling: Outlines detailed procedures for applying foil electrodes ($D_x$) and stacking micro-thin films (e.g., stacking 30 layers for $50\mu\text{m}$ film) to prevent accuracy degradation.

3. Industrial Automation & Data Management

  • Rich Component Sorting (Handler Interface): Outputs pass/fail comparator results via the Handler interface to easily set up automated components or material sorting systems.

  • One-Touch Screenshot & Data Export: Front-panel USB interface enables a one-key screen capture (PrtSc) directly to a flash drive, ensuring easy logging of test curves and text data.

  • Versatile Communications: Outfitted with standard RS-232C, USB, and optional LAN and GPIB interfaces to easily establish parallel communication and remote control with PCs.
