How to test ceramic capacitor with digital multimeter.

To test the small blue resin coated ceramic disc capacitor that have the capacitor marking of 104 50v besides using digital capacitance tester to check for the capacitance value i also use an analogue meter. There are other testing methods other than resistance that can be used. How to check the broken smd tantalum capacitor of the laptop motherboard using the multitester. How to test capacitors by digital multimeter.

A very good test you can do is to check a capacitor with your multimeter set on the ohmmeter setting. By taking the capacitor s resistance we can determine whether the capacitor is good or bad. Check a capacitor with a digital multimeter disconnect the capacitor from the power supply or at least make sure one lead is disconnected. To test a capacitor with a multimeter discharge the capacitor set the multimeter to test for resistance then interpret the reading.

This video is based on ge. Make sure the capacitor is fully discharged. Very easy steps that you can follow at homw. Next read the capacitance value on the outside of the capacitor and set your multimeter to its capacitance setting.

The video demonstrates several ways to check a capacitor using a digital and analog multimeters and an lcr meter. Set to times 10kohm range that has 12 volt output from the probes to check this type of ceramic capacitor failure. This video includes testing of different capacitors by using multimeter.
