Foldable Capacitor Discharge Tool | 1000V MOSFET Pen | Probe Spacing 1 to 70mm

This capacitor discharge tool is a foldable pen for capacitors charged to no more than 1000V, built around a 1000V MOSFET, with a single discharge capacity of 1000uF. In the listing's test a fully charged 450V 470uF capacitor reaches LED off in about 8 seconds. The probes pivot on screw mounts from 1mm to 70mm apart, then fold back along the board: 115 x 16 mm open, 80 x 16 x 7 mm folded. It suits AC and DC capacitors and has no polarity. Features and Benefits - 1000V MOSFET - rated for discharge voltages up to 1000V, never above - Pivoting probes, 1mm to 70mm spacing - close pitch and widely spaced terminals with one pen - Folds to 80 x 16 x 7 mm - the probes tuck back along the board for storage - Rectifier bridge - either probe can go on either terminal - LED indicator - lit while discharging, out at about 8.5V, with cut-off at about 1.7V - Screw mounted probes - welding nuts with anti-backout screws hold them in place Applications - Electrolytic capacitors on power boards after power-off - Electronics production, testing and maintenance - Boards with closely spaced or widely spaced capacitor terminals Note: Disconnect the power first and do not touch the circuit or exposed metal during discharge. Keep each discharge under 15 seconds, and for capacitors over 1000uF let the MOSFET cool before discharging again. Around 6V can remain after the LED goes out, so confirm zero volts with a meter before handling.
