Sketchy Siglent SDS1102A?
(1/1)
ElectronSurf:
Hi, There's a seller in our area (middle east) who sells a brand new Siglent SDS1102A for good price, imported from china he claims.
The problem is that I can't find this variation with A suffix anywhere except this one from alibaba and aliexpress.
I contacted Siglent.eu support about this and they told me that they use to sell this variation in US but not anymore.
So what do you guys think? I fear that it may be a rebrand or some used scope or who knows what. should I order it?
I have to say that this is the only seller of a few Siglent scopes in my country.

Possibly old stock, but if it is a US model, you would want to make sure it is compatible with 240V. It is unusual not to have a universal voltage input SMPSU, but test equipment seems to be one area where this is still practiced (and not just on items with AC transformers).

Never the A in my 10yrs experience however the SDS1002CML+ is still a current range with specs very similar to the A variant.
