It features built-in equivalent circuit analysis and covers a frequency range from 4 Hz to 5 MHz, enabling detailed evaluation of components and materials with frequency-dependent impedance. With measurement speeds as fast as 0.5 ms at 100 kHz, a basic impedance accuracy of ±0.08%, phase accuracy of ±0.05°, and guaranteed accuracy from 1 mΩ to 200 MΩ, the IM3570-9000 provides precise and reliable measurements across a wide impedance range. Versatile and Easy to Use The instrument supports multiple modes including LCR, which is capable of simultaneously measuring DC resistance, sweep, and continuous measurement. Functions such as comparator and BIN judgments, along with frequency and level sweeps, make it suitable for both automated test systems and laboratory evaluation. The 5.7″ color TFT touchscreen simplifies operation and allows intuitive adjustment of measurement conditions. Interfaces including USB, LAN, RS-232C, GP-IB, and handler I/O provide flexible connectivity for system integration.Equivalent Circuit Analysis included The IM3570-9000 features built-in equivalent circuit analysis for in-depth evaluation of complex impedance characteristics. The firmware provides five representative circuit models and can automatically select the most suitable one based on the measurement data. In addition to basic three-element R-L-C models, it also supports a four-element model optimized for piezoelectric device analysis. The instrument can display Nyquist (Cole-Cole) and admittance plots directly, offering valuable insight into frequency-dependent behavior and material properties. Flexible Fixture Ecosystem A wide range of fixtures enable stable and repeatable connections to different device types. Options include Kelvin clip leads for standard components, direct-connection test fixture for stable measurement of leaded components, and SMD test probes for small surface-mount devices. This fixture ecosystem ensures that the IM3570-9000 can be adapted to the requirements of both development labs and automated production environments. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the IM3570-9000 combines reliable measurement performance with long-term stability, making it a versatile instrument for both R&D and production lines.

The IM9905 calibration kit provides OPEN, SHORT and LOAD standards for calibration of HIOKI impedance analyzers with two-terminal measurement capability at the 7 mm (APC-7) reference plane. These standards are used to correct systematic measurement errors in the measurement path up to this reference plane. For calibration of impedance measurement systems, the 7 mm (APC-7) reference plane is commonly applied in high-frequency metrology. When calibration is performed on systems with a 3.5 mm test head, such as those of the HIOKI IM7587, IM7585, IM7583 or IM7581, a suitable adapter is required to establish the 7 mm reference plane. The adapter provided by HIOKI for this purpose is the IM9906.

The IM9201 SMD test fixture is designed for impedance measurements of surface-mount components (SMD) in combination with HIOKI impedance analyzers that support twoterminal measurement configurations. It supports measurements up to 3 GHz and accommodates SMD component sizes from EIA0201 to EIA1210.The IM9201 supports measurements up to 3 GHz, which aligns with the frequency range of high-frequency impedance analyzers such as the IM7587 and IM7585. The test fixture can also be used with impedance analyzers featuring lower maximum measurement frequencies, such as the IM7583 or IM7581, when measurements of small SMD component sizes below EIA0603 are required.For stable operation, the IM9201 is mounted on the IM9200 stand, which provides a secure base and defined mechanical alignment between the analyzer test head and the test fixture. Handling of small SMD components is further facilitated by the magnifier supplied with the IM9200 stand. Electrical connection to the analyzer test head is performed via the 7 mm interface of the test fixture. The IM9906 adapter is required to connect the 7 mm interface of the test fixture to the analyzer test head’s 3.5 mm connector. The IM9201 is supplied with a carrying case designed for storage and transport of the test fixture and its included accessories. The carrying case also provides dedicated space for optional accessories such as the IM9906 adapter and IM9905 calibration standards, allowing related components to be stored together when required.

The IM9200 is a stand for the impedance test fixtures IM9201 and IM9202. It provides a stable mechanical base and a defined alignment between the analyzer test head and the mounted test fixture. Handling of small components during setup and measurement is supported by the removable magnifier supplied with the IM9200. When not in use, the magnifier can be stored in the carrying case of the test fixture.
