Siborg Showcases Award-Winning LCR-Reader Multimeters in Asia

As part of their 2025 promotional campaign, Siborg Systems Inc. recently made waves at two prominent electronics exhibitions in Asia: ElectronicAsia 2025 held in Hong Kong and Taitronics 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan. These events drew a plethora of leading engineers and RD professionals from across Southeast Asia, cementing Siborg's reputation within the industry.

At these world-class venues, Siborg introduced the latest addition to its acclaimed LCR-Reader line, the LCR-Reader-MPB. This compact yet powerful multimeter amalgamates the features of the award-winning LCR-Reader-MPA and LCR-Reader-R2 models, making it a standout device for electronics testing. Notably, an AI-generated comparison has showcased that the LCR-Reader-MPB competes on par with traditional benchtop LCR meters, all within a highly portable format.

Key Features of the LCR-Reader-MPB

The LCR-Reader-MPB stands out with its wide testing range, capable of measuring SMD and component-level impedances. Despite having a slightly narrower impedance measurement capability than some mid-range benchtop meters, it excels in practical scenarios where footloose precision and transportability are critical. With typical applications for field engineers and RD labs, this device emphasizes the importance of on-the-go productivity and accurate measurements.

Some notable highlights include:

• - Portable Productivity: Designed for mobility, it combines functionality and convenience for technicians who are constantly on the move.
• - Exceptional Versatility: The MPB covers all major electronic testing needs with capabilities that include AC/DC voltage measurement, diode/LED testing, and more, all crammed into a compact design.
• - Performance and Accuracy: While specialized benchtop instruments may offer slight advantages in ultra-high-resistance applications or extensive frequency sweeps, the LCR-Reader-MPB is engineered to deliver almost benchtop-level accuracy in a handheld format.

The LCR-Reader family began its journey back in 2014 with the original LCR-Reader R1, a simplified and affordable version of the well-known Smart Tweezers product line. A significant redesign in 2020 birthed the LCR-Reader-MPA, which later received the Product of the Year Award from Plant Engineering Magazine. This evolution continued with further models, including the R3 which features a multilingual interface and an R2 model with enhanced high-frequency testing capabilities. The MPB, combining top features from previous models, is the newest addition and a testament to Siborg's innovative prowess.

Major Trade Participation

Siborg Systems Inc. has actively participated in numerous significant international trade fairs. Recently, they showcased their products at SMTA International (Rosemont, Illinois, 2024) and had a notable presence at the IPC APEX EXPO (Anaheim, April 2025) where they were recognized for their advancements in electronics testing technologies. The integration of proprietary Short/Open calibration boards has particularly impressed industry leaders, as it allows measurement capabilities rivaling high-end benchtop instruments—all at a fraction of the cost.

With an eye on innovation, the new generation of LCR-Readers has introduced Bluetooth connectivity, enhancing the user experience by enabling real-time data logging and visual PCB-based component selection. This new feature also allows users to import BOM and PCB images directly within the application, streamlining the process of testing components with unprecedented speed and convenience.

Conclusion

As an industry leader, Siborg’s contribution to the electronics testing market continues to expand with the successful launch of devices like the LCR-Reader-MPB. The company's ongoing participation in leading electronics shows signifies its commitment to delivering professional-grade performance to customers around the globe. The LCR-Reader series aims not only to meet consumer expectations but to exceed them by providing compact, advanced, and efficient tools for modern engineers and developers. Whether for fieldwork or lab testing, Siborg remains at the forefront of technological innovation in this competitive market.
