ISI Launches New Wave in Magnetic Component Manufacturing

ANAHEIM, CA -- Combine 2 million stock parts with a new approach to component design and engineering. What do you get? A new way of doing business.

Inductor Supply Inc. (ISI), a manufacturer of magnetic components based here, has developed and refined a process for modifying existing components in its extensive line to perform like custom made -- without the high cost or long lead times typically associated with custom products.

"Why should a customer start from scratch when they can start from our stock?" asked Bob Cooper, Vice President of Marketing. "Until now, there have been two basic choices when specifying and sourcing magnetic components. A customer had to search printed catalogs or on-line for the elusive off-the-shelf part that exactly matched design and performance requirements; or the customer could spend a lot of time and money having a brand new part created," he explained.

"That's exactly why we've introduced our semi-custom solutions," said ISI's Ron Williams, director of engineering and design. "Semi-custom solutions combine the ease and reliability of working with standard parts yet they meet specific requirements. Whether a customer is looking to improve performance or meet entirely new specifications, we can create the components they need - not from scratch, but from stock," he said.

Since 1979, ISI has been a primary source of inductors for the electronics community. Today, the company is one of the leading manufacturers and resources for inductors, chips, coils, chokes, and transformers. The company built its reputation by creating quality products at a reasonable cost, and delivering them in a timely fashion. ISI will provide this expertise to customers with the creation of a new semi-custom design team dubbed 'The Mod Squad.'

"Our Mod Squad engineers know our standard products inside and out - we manufacture or supply over 2,000 in a wide range of sizes, shapes and inductance. By considering all the stock choices, we can focus on those parts that come closest to meeting a customer's requirements. From there, we recommend the quickest, easiest and least expensive way to modify those parts," said Cooper.

"From engineering and manufacturing through final testing, customers can be assured that the final product will meet their needs," Williams added. "We understand that each component we supply must adhere to precise specifications. At the same time, we must meet demanding delivery schedules and cost constraints. We are committed to providing our customers with top quality products that are on time and within budget."

ISI's on-time delivery is backed by a team of highly skilled engineers. "We're ready to step in when a difficult challenge arises, teaming our engineers with our customer's engineers to solve tough design problems. Our goal is to help customers build the best products at the lowest cost -avoiding the budget-breaking delays of custom components. We take great pride in the service we provide to our customers," said Diana Klimek, ISI president. "Our semi-custom solutions will save customers money and get their products to market faster."

For nearly 25 years, ISI has provided customers with top quality products that meet exacting specifications. ISI guarantees that any product it specifically manufactures will offer the same precision and high quality. "We have the flexibility and speed necessary to meet demanding schedules with products engineered for top performance," said Cooper. "We know that in addition to wanting quality products, our customers want orders to be handled efficiently and shipments to be made on time."

ISI is ISO compliant and is certified as a Woman Owned and Operated Small Business. For specific questions on ISI's semi-custom products, call 1-800-854-1881 or visit ISI's web site at www.inductorsupply.com
