Key GW Instek products to be stocked by Newark include:

• The APS-7050 programmable linear AC power source – Offering output ratings of 500 VA, 310 V RMS, 2.1 A and a frequency range from 45 to 500 Hz with LAN and USB interfaces. The APS-7050 is ideally suited to producing complex waveform and transient waveform to verify electronic product operation under adverse conditions. Typical applications include production testing in the LED industry and in standby mode power consumption.
• The GPT-9603 electrical safety tester – Used for testing AC/DC withstand voltage and insulation resistance, the GPT-9600 series AC 100VA AC/DC withstand voltage/insulation resistance tester offers an affordable solution for supporting routine tests of major items to safety standards such as IEC, EN, UL, CSA, GB, JIS and other safety regulations. It is equipped with a PWM amplifier to impede influence from input AC voltage fluctuation and ensure a stable voltage output, providing users with an intuitive operation environment by a simple and clear panel layout, large LCD display and color LED indicators.
• The MFG-2110 10 MHz function generator – This generator is part of the MFG2000 series, which includes the MFG-21XX entry-level models and MFG-22XX advanced models. The output channels of MFG-21XX models include one single-channel 10 MHz arbitrary generator and one 25 MHz pulse generator. All instruments feature a 4.3-inch TFT color display.
