Building on the continued success of Peak's existing component identification and analysis instruments, the DCA Pro brings an array of exciting new features for the hobbyist and professional alike. 

Key Features
The DCA Pro is an advanced new design that features a graphics display, USB communications, PC Software and an enhanced component identification library.

- Automatic component type identification.
- Automatic pinout identification (connect any way round).
- The DCA Pro supports all the components that the popular Peak Atlas DCA55 supports, but adds plenty more. Components supported include:
- Transistors (including Darlingtons), Silicon and Germanium types. Measures gain, Vbe and leakage.
- MOSFETs, enhancement mode and depletion mode types. Measure on-threshold (at 5mA) and approx transconductance (for span of 3mA-5mA).
- JFETs, including normally off SiC types. Measures pinch-off voltage (at 5uA) and approx transconductance (for span of 3mA-5mA).
- IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors). Measures on-threshold (at 5mA).
- Diodes and Diode networks.
- LEDs and bicolour LEDs (2 lead and 3 lead types).
- Zener Diodes with measurement of zener voltage up to 9V at 5mA.
- Voltage regulators (measures regulation voltage, drop-out voltage, quiescent current).
- Triacs and Thyristors that require less than 10mA of gate current and holding current.

Stand-alone or with a PC
The instrument can be used stand-alone or connected to a PC. Either way, the DCA Pro will automatically identify the component type, identify the pinout and also measure a range of component parameters such as transistor gain, leakage, MOSFET and IGBT threshold voltages, pn characteristics and much more.

Curve Tracing 
When connected to a PC using the supplied USB cable, a range of low current curve-tracing functions can be performed. Various graph types are available, with more to follow: 
- Bipolar transistor output characteristics, IC vs VCE.
- Bipolar transistor gain characteristics, hFE vs VCE.
- Bipolar transistor gain characteristics, hFE vs IC.
- MOSFET and IGBT output function, ID vs VDS.
- MOSFET and IGBT transfer function, ID vs VGS.
- JFET output function, ID vs VDS.
- JFET transfer function, ID vs VGS.
- Voltage regulator, VOUT vs VIN.
- Voltage regulator, IQ vs VIN.
- PN junction I/V curves, forward and reverse options (for Zener diodes).

Curve tracing is performed using test parameters in the range of +/-12V or +/-12mA. All curve-tracing data can be instantly pasted into Excel© for further graphing and analysis. PC Software is included with the DCA Pro on a Peak USB memory stick. Software designed for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (all 32 or 64 bit).

Shipping & Delivery

We offer UK and international delivery services, including next working day and selected weekend options for eligible orders. Available services, prices and estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout.

Delivery Information

Delivery options depend on the parcel's size, weight, contents and destination. Express and weekend services are subject to availability and cut-off times. Oversized or exceptionally heavy items may require a specialist delivery quotation.

Please handle all goods with care. Returned items must be in a resaleable condition, complete with their original packaging, and all supplied accessories.

You may inspect goods as you would in a shop. Handling beyond what is necessary to inspect them may result in a lawful deduction for diminished value.

Exceptions

Modified Equipment & Reversal Charges

Additional return conditions may apply to equipment modified at the customer's request, including wideband transmit or receive modifications.

ML&S may charge a reasonable fee to reverse physical modifications and restore the equipment to its original factory specification. Any such charge will be agreed in advance and deducted from your refund.

Coaxial cable assemblies manufactured to a customer's specifications are excluded from the 14-day return policy and are non-refundable unless faulty.

 

Software & Labour Charges

Labour and modification charges requested by the customer are non-refundable once the work has been completed.

Computer software may only be returned under the 14-day return policy if it remains sealed and unopened.

Return Postage Charges

Customers are responsible for the direct cost of returning unwanted or incorrectly ordered goods, where permitted by law. You may arrange your own suitable return postage or use one of our optional prepaid services.

Warranty Terms & Conditions

New Equipment Warranty

Minimum 2-Year Warranty

All new products supplied by ML&S carry a minimum two-year warranty against manufacturing defects, excluding batteries, which are covered by separate warranty terms.

Some manufacturers provide extended warranties, such as the three-year warranty available on eligible Yaesu equipment. Any additional coverage is subject to the manufacturer's terms and conditions.

Our workshop may assess and repair faulty equipment on site or refer it to the manufacturer or an authorised service centre where necessary.

Warranty exclusions may include batteries, normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse and unauthorised modifications, as specified in the applicable warranty terms.

All warranties are provided in addition to your statutory consumer rights against ML&S, which are not limited by the warranty period.
