The Core Electronics series allows the practical study of a wide range of electronics subjects, including DC and AC circuits, semiconductors, analogue and digital systems, telecommunications and microcontrollers.

The series comprises an electronics study trainer and component set, and a range of plug-in experiment cards. The trainer is supplied with a digital curriculum disc providing a comprehensive course of electronics study.

The unique design of the trainer includes a heavy-duty casing with transparent protective cover. When in use, the cover folds back to provide an angled support for the unit. With the cover closed, trainers become stackable for easy storage.
