Detailed Product Overview

The Hioki IM3536 is a high-performance benchtop LCR meter that combines wide frequency coverage, fast measurement speed, and intuitive operation. With a range from DC and 4 Hz up to 8 MHz, it covers a broad spectrum of component testing needs from low-frequency inductive devices to capacitive components characterized at MHz frequencies. A large capacitive touch display simplifies operation even in complex test setups, while the Fast Mode delivers measurements in as little as 1 ms per point.

With a basic impedance accuracy of ±0.05%, phase accuracy of ±0.03°, and guaranteed accuracy range from 1 mΩ to 200 MΩ, the IM3536 delivers precise, repeatable results for a wide range of components including capacitors, inductors, resistors, coils, and transformers. Its particularly high repeatability makes it ideal for low-ESR measurement of electrolytic capacitors as well as for impedance testing of power supply coils, where stable frequency characteristics are essential.

Frequency coverage from 4 Hz to 8 MHz

Adjustable measurement conditions include frequencies from DC and 4 Hz up to 8 MHz, test signal voltages from 10 mV to 5 Vrms, and test currents from 10 μA to 100 mArms. This flexibility makes it possible to evaluate resonance points of coils or to characterize components whose properties depend on signal amplitude, enabling realistic testing under application-specific conditions.

DC bias testing is supported with an internal source up to 2.5 V, such as for capacitor measurements, while optional external units extend the range for higher voltage or current applications. This capability enables testing under realistic operating conditions and compliance with industry standards. In addition, the instrument can calculate material parameters such as conductivity and dielectric constant when the geometry of the sample is specified, extending its use beyond conventional LCR measurements.

Perfect for production integration
The IM3536 offers comparator and BIN functions, and industrial interfaces such as LAN, GPIB, RS-232C, and handler I/O that provide multiple options for integration into existing production setups. The handler I/O supplies digital signals for external control and automated equipment, including comparator outputs and BCD-coded measurement values for categorization and sorting. Residual charge protection safeguards the instrument when charged capacitors are inadvertently connected, preventing measurement errors and possible damage to the input circuitry. The instrument can also perform DC resistance measurements in addition to AC impedance, so that both parameters are available within a single test sequence.

At home in laboratories
For laboratory use, the IM3536 includes a USB interface for direct PC connection. The supplied software supports frequency, voltage, and current sweeps, and measurement data can be logged directly into Microsoft Excel or saved as CSV files for further analysis. The large touch display and a wide range of available test fixtures make it easy to adapt the instrument to different component types in R&D and quality assurance labs.

Additional functions ensure stable measurements even under demanding conditions. In LowZ high-accuracy mode, the output resistance is set to 10 Ω, allowing higher test currents. This is ideal for ESR measurement of electrolytic capacitors or inductance testing of lowinductance components. The waveform averaging function lets the user define the number of waveforms per frequency band, reducing noise and providing more consistent results. In addition, a contact check function with adjustable thresholds can be enabled to ensure that the DUT is correctly contacted. This function is especially important in automated setups but also helps avoid unnecessary measurement runs during manual testing.

Made in Japan
With its proven design and stable pricing, the IM3536 combines performance, usability, and long-term reliability. Engineered and manufactured in Japan, it continues to offer strong value for both demanding R&D tasks and production testing, ensuring consistent quality and dependable operation over many years.
