Simplifying Electricity

Introduction 

What’s new 

We are very proud to be the new owners of 

the Locktronics range of products for teaching 

electricity and electronics. In the short time we 

have owned the range we have made many 

improvements, and in this catalogue you can 

see our plans for the further changes we will 

be making to the range in 2010. 

Locktronics is one of the strongest brands for 

learning electricity in the World. Its easily 

recognisable green carrier components are 

used in more than 10,000 schools for teaching 

science and engineering. Over the coming 

years we will update the entire range and 

expand it into new areas of teaching and 

learning. 

Matrix is a new company to most Locktronics 

users. Our company is at the forefront of 

technical education in the fields of electronics 

and technology. We are particularly strong 

in microcontroller development and control 

technology. You can see some of our other 

products in this area on page 24. The marriage 

of Matrix’s existing technologies with the 

Locktronics range will allow us to develop a 

world class suite of solutions that simplifies 

electricity and electronics for the next generation 

of students. 

Any feedback you have would be much 

appreciated.

New CD ROMs 

Take a look at our range of CD 

ROMs covering electronics on 

page 20. 

Small carrier improvements 

We have made many 

changes to the designs of existing 

carriers - for example the 

lampholder now includes the 

appropriate circuit symbol. 

New carrier components 

We have introduced more than 

40 new components - like our 

new USB programmable 

PICmicro carrier. 

New low cost power supplies 

New power supplies make a 

practical alternative to batteries 

and traditional PSUs whilst 

keeping the circuit diagram intact. 

Now also available for AC.

What is Locktronics 

The range includes: 

Baseboards 

Locktronics is a range of 

products that simplifies the 

process of learning and 

teaching electricity and 

electronics. 

Capacitors 

To which students add… 

Resistors 

The core range consists 

of more than 200 electronic 

components mounted on 

rugged plastic carriers which 

are printed with the corresponding 

circuit symbol. Students use these 

carriers, in conjunction with a baseboard with interconnecting metal 

pillars, to build up a working circuit. They then use the software 

and curriculum provided to carry out experiments in electricity and 

electronics. 

The key benefit of Locktronics is that as students construct the 

working circuit they can also see the corresponding circuit diagram. 

This helps students link theory to practice and simplifies the process 

of learning electricity and electronics. 

Locktronics can be used in a wide range of subject areas including: 

Inductors 

Logic gates 

Semiconductors 

System blocks 

Disciplines include: 

Science 

Electronics 

Engineering 

Automotive 

Technology 

Electromechanical 


Lamps and LEDs 

Power supplies

Choosing your Locktronics package 

Choosing the right solution 

In this catalogue you can choose from our extensive range of kits tailored 

to syllabuses in primary education, secondary education, further education, 

in engineering, science, technology, and automotive. 

Choosing your package 

You can choose to have kits delivered in blister packs, containing just the 

carriers, or as complete solutions with storage trays, baseboards, power 

supplies, leads and probes. 

Choosing accessories and extras 

If you choose blister packs make sure you have ordered baseboards, 

leads and power supplies separately. Datasheets showing complete 

contents of each product are available online. 

You can order your kit in blister packs... 

Component and kit variations 

Make sure you choose the correct version of your solution - components 

are available with ANSI and DIN circuit symbols.

CD ROMs 

Benefits 

• Allow students to learn at their own pace 

• Provide theory on electronics 

• When used with Locktronics these CDs provide a 

complete solution to learning electronics 

Features 

• Huge learning resource 

• Highly interactive virtual laboratories stimulate, teach and test 

• Includes clear circuit simulations 

• Spoken text caters for students with low reading ability 

• Ideal for use with projectors 

• Includes assessment resources 

This range of Electronics CD ROMs provides a complete course in 

electronics – from first concepts through to circuit analysis of medium 

complexity. The CD ROMs use modern multimedia techniques – including 

circuit simulation, video clips, animations and audio – to explain electronics 

in a clear and dynamic format. They can be used as core student-centred 

learning material for many electronics courses, from 16+, and are 

an ideal complementary resource for Locktronics.

FLOW 

NO CODING, NO LIMITS... 

Flowcode 4 is a simple-to-use graphical programming language for 

microcontrollers. The great advantage of Flowcode is that it allows those with 

little to no programming experience to create complex electronic systems in 

minutes. Flowcode is available in more than twenty languages and supports a 

range of microcontrollers and electronic systems. 

E-Blocks are small circuit boards each of which contains a block of 

electronics that you would typically find in an electronic or embedded system. 

There are more than 40 separate circuit boards in the range from simple LED 

boards to more complex boards like device programmers, Bluetooth and TCP/IP. 

E-blocks can be snapped together to form a wide variety of systems that can be 

used for teaching/learning electronics. 

MIAC is an industrial-grade programmable electronic controller which can be 

used to control a wide range of different electronic systems. It is programmable 

by Flowcode, C or Assembly and is used in education for learning about control, 

sensors, actuators and automotive applications. 

ECIO devices are powerful USB programmable microcontrollers with either 

28 or 40 pin standard DIL (0.6”) footprints. They are perfect for student use at 

home, project work and building fully integrated embedded systems. 

Formula Flowcode is an advanced technology, direct USB programmable 

robot vehicle which is used to teach robotics, control, programming, and to 

provide a platform for competing in robotics events.
