Instruments. The housing and internal construction of the TI-5032 was used with
a complete line of very similar calculators:

1983 | Mitsubishi M58349P | 10 digits |
| TI-5030 II | 1984 | Mitsubishi M58345AP | 12 digits |

The
internal construction of the TI-5030 is typical for a Japanese calculator:
Only few components fitted without any screws in the bottom shell of the
housing.
The printed circuit board (PCB) reveals the true manufacturer
of this calculator: Toshiba Corporation.
The successful TI-5032 line was manufactured from 1983 till 1988 when the TI-5029
and TI-5033 were introduced.
