The TI-5032 was the first battery operated printing desktop calculators introduced by Texas Instruments.

The design fits neatly to the other desktop calculators of the time:

• TI-5008    Pocket-sized, thermal printing
• TI-5010    Small-sized, standard paper
• TI-5032    Desktop-sized, battery option
• TI-5130    10-digits, standard paper
• TI-5142-III 12-digits, standard paper
• TI-5020    Non-printing, solar powered

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

Model	Introduction	Integrated Circuit	Capabilities
TI-5030	1983	Mitsubishi M58349P	10 digits
TI-5030 II	1984	Mitsubishi M58345AP	12 digits
TI-5032	1983	t.b.d.	10 digits
TI-5032 II
TI-5035	1985	Mitsubishi M58347P	12 digits

The successful TI-5032 line was manufactured from 1983 till 1988 when the TI-5029 and TI-5033 were introduced.
In the year 1991 the design was changed but the idea kept. View the later TI-5032 here.
