The Mastech MS5308 LCR digital bridge meter is a professional instrument ideal for technicians and hobbyists who need to measure inductance, capacitance and resistance with high accuracy and speed. This meter stands out for its ability to provide measurements in both AC and DC mode, overcoming the limitations of a conventional multimeter that only measures resistance in DC.
Its main features include automatic component identification, automatic measurement range selection and a wide range of test frequencies up to 100 kHz, allowing tests adapted to different environments and needs.
- Intelligent automatic LCR measurement: makes it easy to identify and accurately measure inductors, capacitors and resistors.
- Dual LCD display: offers clear viewing with 19,999 and 1,999 ranges for easier reading.
- Selectable Series and Parallel modes: for greater flexibility in measurement.
- Advanced parameters: includes Ls, Lp, Cs, Cp with D, Q, θ and ESR parameters for detailed analysis.
- Supports DCR mode: for DC resistance measurements.
- Five test frequencies: 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz, suitable for various applications.
This meter covers wide measurement ranges:
- Inductance (L): 200 µH to 2000 H
- Capacitance (C): 2000 pF to 20 mF
- Resistance (R): 20 Ω to 200 MΩ
The unit is powered by 8 AA 1.5 V batteries and a 9 V battery type 1604A6LR6 (not included). Its compact and robust design, with dimensions of 224 mm x 172 mm x 59 mm and black colour, makes it ideal for laboratory or field use.
Technical specifications:
- Measurement accuracy depends on frequency and range, with values from 0.3% + 5 digits to 2.0% + 5 digits depending on the mode and resistance measured.
- Available test frequencies: 100/120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz.

Customer Questions & Answers
What measurement ranges can the Mastech MS5308 cover for inductance, capacitance and resistance, and with what accuracy?
The Mastech MS5308 can measure inductance from 200 µH to 2000 H, capacitance from 2000 pF to 20 mF, and resistance from 20 Ω to 200 MΩ. Accuracy varies depending on the range and frequency used; typically, for resistances from 10 Ω to 100 kΩ, accuracy is ±0.3% + 5 digits, dropping to ±2.0% + 5 digits in the upper range (20 MΩ to 200 MΩ).
What functional differences are there between this LCR meter and a standard digital multimeter?
The MS5308 can measure capacitance, inductance and resistance in both AC and DC, and offers series/parallel modes, automatic component selection and measurement at different test frequencies (100/120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, 100 kHz). A typical multimeter measures resistance only in DC and does not offer specific ranges or parameters for inductance or capacitance in AC. This makes the MS5308 more suitable for professional analysis of passive components.
What types of connectors does the unit include, and is it compatible with SMD components?
The MS5308 normally includes banana test leads and probes or crocodile clips, plus adapters for SMD components. It is compatible with both discrete and in-circuit components, but accuracy may vary with smaller SMD parts due to handling and contact. It is worth checking whether the box includes the specific SMD adapter.
What are the maintenance recommendations, and what is the estimated service life of the instrument under regular use?
It is recommended to store the MS5308 in a dry environment, avoid impacts and clean it with a soft cloth without solvents. Replace the batteries (8x AA and 1x 9V) when the display indicates low voltage. Service life depends on use and care, but under normal conditions it can exceed 5 years without significant loss of accuracy if handled and stored properly.
Does the instrument comply with electrical safety standards for laboratory use, and are there any specific risks in use?
The MS5308 is designed for low-voltage passive component measurement, so electrical risks are minimal. However, it must not be used to measure components connected to live circuits. No IEC or CE safety certifications are specified in the basic technical information, so documentation should be checked if this is critical for use in certified laboratories.
What components can the Mastech MS5308 measure?
It can measure inductance, capacitance and resistance with high accuracy.
What measurement modes does this meter offer?
It offers AC and DC measurement modes, as well as Series and Parallel modes.
What test frequencies are available?
The available test frequencies are 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz.
Does the meter include batteries?
No, it requires 8 AA batteries and a 9V battery, which are not included.
Is it currently available to buy?
The product is currently out of stock, but you can check alternatives or subscribe for notifications.
