Featuring an enhanced 0–40Ω ESR measurement range with 0.01Ω resolution and intuitive audible alerts, it enables fast, in-circuit testing without capacitor removal. Engineered in the UK, this compact, battery-powered tool delivers rapid, reliable results, making it an essential instrument for electronics professionals and enthusiasts aiming to prevent failures before they happen. ## Description PEAK Atlas ESR70 (ESR PLUS) (Equivalent Series Resistance) Capacitor Analyzer with audible alerts. This new model introduces new features including "Audible Alerts" and enhanced measurement range. Every measurement of ESR will be shown on the display as usual of course, but the unit will also produce a variety of tones depending on the value of ESR. And the tones themselves are surprising pleasant, including "Bell-like" pings (a couple of different types for ESR that is below certain values), and also a "Beep-Barp" type tone for ESR that is likely to be too high. There is also a reassuring "Blip" when the measurement has started and completed. The ESR measurement range has also been enhanced, now doubled, measuring from 0 to 40 ohms with a resolution as low as 0.01 ohms. This remarkably fine resolution is great for assessing large capacitors and even allows you to use the Atlas ESR+ for tracing short-circuits and finding the precise area of a PCB that has that invisible wisp of solder. Measuring a capacitor's ESR (equivalent series resistance) is a great indicator of capacitor condition. The Atlas ESR70 PLUS offers instant results, if the instrument is switched on then just connect the probes to your capacitor and the analysis starts automatically. You can even use the Atlas ESR70 PLUS in-circuit, saving you the trouble of removing capacitors. When testing capacitors out-of-circuit, the unit will also display the capacitance. Review: Impressive - This is a high quality product that is accurate and easy to use. The fact that the meter is made in England resulted in a well written instruction booklet and not a fractured English translation. It only takes seconds to test a capacitor. The ESR feature is the soul of the product. The cap may still test good, but the ESR will warn you if its future is limited. That will save you a lot of time and work. Review: Never worry about the state of a capacitor again - I was unsure about purchasing this ESR meter. Its price was a little high and with a few pieces of test equipment you can basically do the same type of check on a capacitor. I did however purchase this item and I was glad that I did. All the necessary setup work and math are all encapsulated in one package. Simple turn the unit on and you are ready to go. I have used this in troubleshooting capacitors in a cement mixer as well as all of the capacitors in my Commodore 64 and Atari 2600. It really is a nice to have tool in your arsenal. The build quality is good, as well as the battery life, speed and functionality. There is somewhere buried in another desertcart review a 3D print file for a stand that I found to be very useful. ## Features - Measure capacitance and ESR - Suitable for any capacitor type between 1uF and 22000uF including motor capacitors, smoothing capacitors, electrolytics, polypropylenes, in fact any dielectric type - New enhanced dynamic range of 0.00 to 40.0 ohms - ESR Resolution as fine as 0.01 ohms - Audible alerts for various ESR levels ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005NIBEYU | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,019 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #30 in Lab Oscilloscopes #507 in Lab Meters | | Brand | Velleman | | Brand Name | Velleman | | Color | Purple | | Compatible Devices | Capacitors (various types) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 244 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05410329460631 | | Item Dimensions | 0.04 x 0.04 x 0.04 inches | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 0.04 x 0.04 x 0.04 inches | | Manufacturer | Peak Electronic Design Limited | | Measurement Type | ESR Meter, Capacitance Meter | | Model | ESR70 | | Part Number | 166225 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Style | Digital | | Style Name | Digital | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 35 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Velleman - **Color:** Purple - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Kilograms - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Digital ## Images ![Atlas ESR70 Capacitance and ESR Meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511Z9SCeH+L.jpg) ![Atlas ESR70 Capacitance and ESR Meter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AsOd-gEdL.jpg) ![Atlas ESR70 Capacitance and ESR Meter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41IbZxsXYzL.jpg) ![Atlas ESR70 Capacitance and ESR Meter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41MsC1iJa6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What type of leads come with the unit, i. e. alligator/pin probe?** A: Jack, if you wanted to use pin probes they would attach to the alligator clips. The leads on the unit are about 20" long anyway. **Q: I work on old Amps, can it test 350 volt & 450 volt capacitors.this question is pertaining to the Atlas ESR 70** A: As others have mentioned, it can test those capacitors if they are in their discharged state.The manufacturers specs say - it can auto discharge up to +/- 50v and for a cap that is less than 10uF the absolute maximum it can withstand is +/- 275v, over 10uF that is +/- 50v **Q: Can this unit be used to test capacitors in circuit (without unsoldering)?** A: Atlas ESR can be used in the circuit. For this reason, also be measured without removing the capacitor from the substrate. Of course, even if you test a capacitor is removed from the circuit, can be measured. **Q: so it only checks capacitance of .1uf or higher?** A: Its capacitance measurement range is 1uF to 22,000uF with 0.2uF accuracy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive *by M***C on October 7, 2025* This is a high quality product that is accurate and easy to use.

This is the best Capacitor ESR meter that I have used. Truly saves you time by implementing in circuit testing. I have tried many Chinese capacitance testers and got fed up with the false data they presented so I broke the bank and bought this. Can’t say it was a bad purchase because it totally changed my life. I have cut my trouble shooting to 1/4 the time by having a unit that accurately tests in circuit. No more desoldering capacitors to test them. On rare occasions only you might have to lift a led to test. Simply accurate in every way. The best part is it discharges a capacitor before testing. This unit is a must for bench techs everywhere. Yea I know it is not cheap but I would not waste time with a review if it was useless like the TC1. ## Frequently Bought Together - Velleman Atlas ESR70 Capacitance and ESR Meter - Velleman DCA55 Semiconductor Analyzer - Peak Atlas LCR45 LCR and Impedance Meter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7749924-atlas-esr70-capacitance-and-esr-meter](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7749924-atlas-esr70-capacitance-and-esr-meter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
