Specification callouts & compatibility guidance

When selecting a workshop kit for education or production, check these practical specs: power ratings for soldering stations, bandwidth/sample rate for oscilloscopes, and connector types for inter-board wiring. Choose tools and accessories that are compatible with common classroom projects and industry-standard development boards.

Common installation and wiring considerations

Bench Power Strip (RCD-protected)
+-----------------------+
| Socket 1 | Socket 2 | Socket 3 |
| 230V AC  | 230V AC  | 230V AC  |
+-----------------------+
Each station: Soldering station -> Local power strip -> ESD mat -> Ground

Objection handling - common procurement concerns
