Capacitor Discharge Tool | 5000µF Spark Free Pen | AC/DC 8 to 1000V

This capacitor discharge tool releases the stored charge in capacitors of up to 5000µF, with a maximum supported voltage of AC/DC 8 to 1000V. It discharges without sparks, needs no polarity check and takes 2 to 3 seconds on a 5000µF capacitor. The LED stays lit while discharge is in progress and goes out at about 6V. Features and Benefits - 5000µF maximum discharge capacitance - 2 to 3 seconds at full rating. - AC/DC 8 to 1000V supported voltage - covers the high voltage capacitors in switch power supplies. - Polarity free probes - no need to find the positive leg first. - Spark free, continuous discharge - no arcing at the terminals while the charge drains. - LED status light - lit during discharge and out at about 6V so you know when to check with a meter. - Sprung probes on screw terminals - they flex instead of crushing, and the spacing is adjustable. Applications - Switch power supply repair: drain bulk and filter capacitors before you work on the board. - Electronics production and testing: release residual voltage between test stages. - Maintenance of electronic products whose capacitors keep a charge after switch off. Note: Disconnect the power first. This tool is for capacitors only and must not be used to discharge batteries. Do not touch the circuit or exposed metal, and let the MOSFET cool before repeating on very large capacitors. About 6V remains when the LED goes out, so confirm zero volts with a meter.
