Gaqqee 5000µF Capacitor Discharge Pen | AC/DC 8–1000V Tool
Gaqqee 5000µF Capacitor Discharge Pen – Safe, Fast & Spark-Free
The Gaqqee Capacitor Discharge Pen is a professional-grade constant-current discharge tool designed for electronics technicians, repair engineers, and hobbyists. Whether you're servicing high-voltage power supplies, testing circuits, or repairing consumer electronics, this tool rapidly and safely dissipates residual charge stored in capacitors — all without sparking or electrode confusion.
With support for capacitors up to 5000 µF and voltages from AC/DC 8V to 1000V, this pen is built for a wide range of professional and workshop applications. CE and RoHS certified. Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- No Polarity Distinction: No need to identify positive or negative terminals — simply probe and discharge with confidence.
- Adjustable Pin-Pitch & Flexible Probes: Retractable, crush-resistant probes with adjustable spacing to fit a variety of component layouts.
- LED Discharge Indicator: The built-in LED illuminates during discharge and turns off when voltage drops to approximately 6V — giving you a clear, reliable completion signal.
- Rapid Discharge: Clears a 5000 µF capacitor in just 2–3 seconds, significantly speeding up your repair and testing workflow.
- Spark-Free & Consistent: Intelligent constant-current circuitry handles voltages up to 1000V without arcing or erratic discharge behaviour.
- Wide Application Range: Ideal for the production, testing, and repair of electronic products including power supplies, inverters, motor drives, and more.
- CE & RoHS Certified: Meets safety and environmental standards for professional use.

Safety Precautions
- After the LED indicator turns off, a residual voltage of approximately 6V may remain in the capacitor — handle with care.
- Do not touch exposed circuit traces or metal components during the discharge process.
- Do not discharge continuously for extended periods. Allow the MOSFET to cool between repeated discharges of high-capacity capacitors to ensure proper heat dissipation.
- Do not use this tool to discharge batteries — it is designed for capacitors only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Gaqqee Capacitor Discharge Pen be used on both AC and DC capacitors?
A: Yes. The Gaqqee Capacitor Discharge Pen supports both AC and DC circuits over a wide voltage range of 8V to 1000V, making it versatile for a broad range of electronic repair and testing applications.
Q: How do I know when the capacitor has been fully discharged?
A: The built-in LED indicator lights up during the discharge process. Once the residual voltage drops to approximately 6V, the LED turns off, signalling that the discharge cycle is complete. Note that a small residual charge of ~6V may remain.
Q: Is it safe to use the discharge pen on high-voltage capacitors repeatedly?
A: The pen is rated for up to 1000V and discharges spark-free. For repeated use on high-capacity capacitors, allow the internal MOSFET component to cool between cycles to maintain safe operation and extend tool longevity.
Q: Does the probe spacing adjust to fit different capacitor footprints?
A: Yes. The probe pin-pitch is fully adjustable, and the flexible probes can extend and retract easily without being crushed, allowing you to fit a variety of component spacings and PCB layouts.
