UNI-T UT601 Capacitance & Resistance Meter

The UT601 presents itself as a practical handheld meter designed for electronics hobbyists, repair technicians, and lab environments. Its form is modestly sized and ergonomic long enough to grip comfortably, yet narrow enough to reach tight spaces on the bench. The front panel is dominated by a clear LCD display, with function selectors and test jacks placed for easy access. In ambient workshop lighting, the screen remains readable and uncluttered, with no superfluous controls to distract the user.

When the UT601 is powered on, it becomes a versatile instrument for assessing passive components. You place the test leads or clips onto a resistor or capacitor, and the meter quickly evaluates the value. It smoothly transitions among measuring resistance, capacitance, diode tests, and even checks transistor gain (hFE). The transitions are intuitive, and the display updates at a steady rate so that changes are reflected promptly without flicker or lag. Its “manual range” mode gives you control when automatic selection might misinterpret very small or large components.

In practice, the UT601 is a reliable companion on electronics workbench tasks. It does not overpromise it focuses on component-level measurements with clarity and consistency. Whether you’re validating a capacitor in a power supply, checking a resistor in a feedback loop, or diagnosing a transistor, the UT601 integrates into routine workflows without fuss. Though it lacks the sophistication of lab-grade instruments, its approachable design, consistent performance, and clear readouts make it a go-to meter for everyday component diagnostics.
