Global Specialties Model PB-503C is a
Portable
Analog & Digital Design Workstation.
The PB-503C’s newly updated, robust design
makes it a trainer suitable for all levels of
electronics instruction and design. With its
new heavy duty case design, it has plenty of
room for storage, making it highly s
uitable for
distance learning applications and students
on the go.
The PB-503C’s breadboarding area is
comprised of Global’s “Premium” solderless
breadboards and is backed by an industry
leading 3-year warranty.
The PB-503C can be used to construct basic
series and parallel circuits up to the most
complicated multi-stage microcomputer
circuits, incorporating the latest in industrial
technology.
The PB-503C allo ws students to learn
valuable hands-on lab experience by
employing necessary breadboarding
techniques, which provide a solid foundation
in circuit experimentation, analyzing and
troubleshooting.
Experienced designers will also find the
PB-503C an invaluable, capable and reliable
instrument, suitable for the most advan c ed
and demanding design applications.
Global Specialties trainers provide the most
complete platform required to enable
engineers and technicians to train for careers
in the rapidly growing field of electronics
technology.
