Educational Outreach
ISL Products is committed to the improvement of STEM related studies and the betterment of students and professors alike. We have begun an educational outreach program and are actively looking for students and professors alike to join the program. Our goal is to help the next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians and technologists develop and experiment with some of the best electronic and electromechanical components the industry has to offer. One of the ways that ISL is able to contribute to the STEM fields and community is by ensuring that our renowned components and related design / application material are readily available.
We have partnered with DigiKey allowing us to make our most popular offerings of DC motors, DC gear motors, UVC germicidal ballasts, and audio components available to everyone around the world. DigiKey’s easy-to-use website makes purchasing our components effortless and convenient .
We have supplied value added components to a variety of educational institutions including grade school robotics clubs, students at universities across the globe, and everything in between. In addition, during any given week over 50 different schools and universities visit our website to learn about various electro-mechanical components.
We encourage you to share this page with your fellow students, colleagues and professors! We offer incentives to all students and educators who decide to use our components.
Why choose our components?
Availability
As mentioned above, the components we have in-stock can be purchased through DigiKey or directly from ISL Products. If your ever having trouble finding a particular component, just reach out. We are always here to help!
Our partnership with DigiKey has allowed us to make over 40 different DC motors and gear motors available at the click of a button. The list continues to grow! These motors come in a variety of sizes, voltages, speeds, and powers. You will find both brushed and brushless motor options, feel free to choose the best option for your project.
In addition to the motors, we also have a variety of audio components such as buzzers and speakers in our inventory. Our audio components are either piezo or magnetic in construction.
Inductors, transformers, AC inlets and electronic ballasts are some of the other components you will find available.
All items listed on DigiKey are in-stock and typically ship within hours of ordering. We know time is always critical with each academic project so we do our best to avoid any delay. We also offer express and overnight shipping if you need a part in the nick of time.
Knowledge & Expertise
We provide unique insight and digital learning opportunities to students and professors engaged in electro-mechanical project(s). Over the years, we have helped both students and professors work through some of their design challenges. In addition, we provide free design notes, case studies and educational blogs to anyone visiting our website.
In the last year alone over 60,000 people have read the articles published on our website. Some of the top topics of interest are dc motor and small gear motor basics, How to Read DC Motor Performance Curves, and The basics: UVC Ballasts for Germicidal Lamps. We make this knowledge widely available so that everyone can get the answers they need at a moment’s notice. Your never too old (or young) to learn!
Our engineering staff consists of many different disciplines allowing us to provide a comprehensive perspective on the electro-mechanical world. Our engineers hold degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and even business, to name a few.
The Personal Touch
Our personal touch is what differentiates us from the rest of the component world. ISL offers direct customer support and engineering consultation to all students and professors. From your first robotics course to a university students’ graduate thesis, our team of dedicated engineers will do their best to assist you. This creates unique opportunities for students to learn from engineers in the field.
Whether by email, LiveChat, or contact form our team is available for design implementation consults, component selection advice, and even some trouble shooting.
Discounts
One of the most important incentives is that we offer students, teachers and professors discounts on all of our in-stock components being used for educational programs and or enrichment activities. Contact us to learn more about the available discounts and how to receive them on your next order.
Tell us about your project
We want to hear about what you are working on. Tell us a little bit about the problem you are trying to solve, and how we can help.
We hope you find our website informative and useful in your quest for knowledge. STEM education is important and ISL Products wants to contribute to the science, technology, engineering and math educational activities.
