The manual for the Sencore CH255 Component Holder provides instructions for setting up and connecting the holder to a Z-METER, including removing existing test leads and attaching the CH255 via a BNC connector. It also covers the process of zeroing the capacitance, inductance, and ESR of the holder to ensure accurate measurements, as well as methods for connecting components using radial test sockets and axial test clips.
Manual Overview
The Sencore CH255 Component Holder is designed for use with Z-METERs to test capacitors and coils. To connect the CH255, remove the existing test leads from the Z-METER and attach the CH255 using its BNC connector. The CH255 features Radial Test Sockets for most radial lead components and adjustable Axial Test Clips for various component sizes. Before testing, ensure the CH255 is positioned correctly and zero its capacitance, inductance, and ESR by following the Z-METER’s zeroing procedure. This involves shorting the Axial Test Clips or Radial Test Sockets with a wire, which must be removed afterward. The CH255 is color-coded to assist with correct component insertion, with red indicating positive and black negative. Proper setup and zeroing are crucial for accurate measurements, as the CH255 is designed to minimize additional capacitance, inductance, and ESR.
Quick Issues Covered
- Zero capacitance, inductance, and ESR for accurate measurements.
- Short test clips/sockets to zero inductance with wire.
- Ensure proper polarity using color-coded connectors for component insertion.

Installation / Setup
To set up the CH255 Component Holder with the Z-METER, first connect the BNC connector from the CH255 to the test lead input on the Z-METER. Remove the existing test leads by turning counter-clockwise and pulling outward, then push the BNC connector forward and turn clockwise to secure it. Position the CH255 Component Holder for testing before zeroing its capacitance and inductance. Zero the capacitance, inductance, and ESR of the CH255 to ensure accurate measurements by following the Z-METER’s test lead zeroing instructions. Short the Axial Test Clips or Radial Test Sockets with a wire to zero inductance, and remove the wire afterward. The CH255 uses Radial Test Sockets and Axial Test Clips for holding components, with color-coded connectors to indicate polarity: red for positive and black for negative.
Operation
To connect the CH255 to the Z-METER, locate the test lead input on the Z-METER, remove the existing test leads, and connect the BNC connector from the CH255. The CH255 Component Holder can test most capacitors and coils using stationary Radial Test Sockets and moveable Axial Test Clips. Before testing, position the CH255 and zero its capacitance, inductance, and ESR by following the Z-METER’s test lead zeroing instructions. For zeroing inductance, short the Axial Test Clips or Radial Test Sockets with a wire, which should be removed afterward. Components can be connected using Radial Test Sockets or Axial Test Clips, observing polarity with color-coded connectors.
