Being old school, I never owned one back in the days when I was twirling wrenches for a living—-nor did any one else. But in more modern days things are better now. Anyhoo, I still don’t own a “real” one, but I did cobble up an adapter. The actual parts cost less than a buck, plus however fancy you want to get as far as a case, test leads, etc. The circuit floats all over the Internet. Here is one version. I will say that people go nuts over the capacitor, tending to use one that is way too big. The one I used is only 0.2 ufd and it works for me.
Frank I made one too; I even think it works but I don’t really have all that much confidence in it so I thought it might be time to buy a commercially made one that people can vouch for.
And; yes….I hope the spacing is standard. I doubt it is though….one of the vendors for these seems to offer a special version for Fluke meters….and I bet that is because the spacing on theirs is different from what else is commonly used. They probably do that on purpose LOL…..
