[Electronics_101] HELP!! L.C. Checker Test Components Suggestions Needed

Hello Stefan

Thanks. I thought something like that would be going on.

I'm looking for "standard" value inductors to feed known values into my LC Checker. Hopefully they can be had (exist??) or at least estimated.

Does anyone else have an idea about "standard value inductors"??

Regards

Patrick

Hello
I'm going to order a small assortment of known value components for my "L.C. Checker V2" to make sure it's more or less correct in its readings.

I have a good assortment of capacitors here...(though none are of high tolerance) which I think will do for capacitor side of the thing. If anyone thinks I should get a few precision capacitors (instead of relying my capacitors of unknown quality), please let me know.

The inductors are a different matter.

When it comes to unknown value inductors, would it be a valid statement to say that an "RF choke" will give the same reading as a "transformer type inductor"...when measured on the L.C. Checker?? Or would they be different??

And I need suggestions as to what other value(s) of inductor(s) to order to provide a good test range for the Checker...the only thing I've come up on my own is a 1 Henry inductor (for obvious reasons... 1 Henry should = 1 Henry ). What other values would be good for starters?

I'm going to accept the stated value of all components as 100% correct ...regardless of whatever tolerance may be given for that component; in other words, I'll accept a 1 Henry inductor as a 1 Henry inductor no matter what the stated tolerance is for that particular part.

Can anyone make recommendations as to other inductive and/or capacitive values?

Thanks To All

Patrick
