Description:
The VC6013 is a digital capacitance meter manufactured by VICI (also branded as Victor). Unlike a full LCR meter, this device focuses specifically on measuring capacitance. Moreover, it offers accuracy and simplicity, making it ideal for everyday use. Therefore, it serves as a practical tool for both electronics hobbyists and professionals.
Key features:
- High accuracy: It offers high-precision readings, especially for low capacitance values, with a reported accuracy of ±(0.5%+1) for the lower ranges.
- Wide measuring range: The meter can measure capacitance from 0.1 picofarads (pF) up to 20 millifarads (mF), with nine different manual ranges.
- Overload protection: It features a full protection function with a recoverable fuse to prevent damage from over-voltage.
- Capacitor self-discharge: A safety feature is its ability to automatically discharge a capacitor with a voltage of less than 250V, protecting both the user and the meter from damage.
- Auto power-off: To save battery life, the meter automatically powers down after about 30 minutes of inactivity.
- Display: It has a large, 3.5-digit LCD with a maximum display count of 1999, making readings clear.
- Zero adjustment: A manual knob on the front panel allows for zero adjustment to cancel stray capacitance from test leads, improving accuracy.
- Design: The device has a lightweight, compact, and streamlined design with an anti-vibration holster for durability.
Technical specifications:
- Display: 1999 counts, 65 × 41mm LCD.
- Capacitance ranges and accuracy:
- 200 pF: ±(0.5%+7)

- 2000 $\mu$F: ±(2%+5)
- 20 mF: ±(3%+10)
- Measurement frequencies:
- 200 pF to 2 $\mu$F: 800 Hz
- 20 $\mu$F to 20 mF: 8 Hz
- Power source: 9V (6F22) battery.
- Operating environment: 0–40 °C, less than 80% relative humidity.
Applications:
- Error testing and numerical analysis of capacitance values.
- Selecting and sorting capacitors during manufacturing and repair.
- Measuring capacitance in cables, switches, and PCB circuits.
- Use in educational labs and professional maintenance settings.
