IEC Spare Parts for School Science Equipment: Keep Your Lab Running Longer
School science equipment works hard. From physics demonstrations and circuit lessons to optics experiments and power supply setups, even well-built apparatus eventually needs replacement parts.
That is where IEC spare parts are especially useful. Rather than replacing an entire piece of classroom equipment, schools can often restore performance by replacing worn, missing or damaged components.
For science technicians, lab managers and teachers, keeping the right spare parts on hand can reduce lesson interruptions, extend equipment life and help practical experiments run smoothly.
Why IEC Spare Parts Matter in School Labs
Science classrooms rely on repeatable, hands-on demonstrations. When a small component goes missing, a whole experiment can be delayed.
Common issues include:
- Missing leads, sockets, clips or lamps
- Worn air track parts
- Damaged power supply accessories
- Broken instrument housings or knobs
- Consumables such as spark paper or fuse wire running out
- Replacement parts needed for optics, motion, circuits or electricity kits
The IEC spare parts range includes replacement spark paper, leads, bulbs, sockets, housings and related parts for IEC educational and laboratory products.
Popular IEC Spare Parts Categories
Wiltronics stocks a wide range of IEC replacement parts across physics, electricity, optics and general laboratory equipment. Here are some of the most useful categories for school science departments.
| Lab Area | Useful Category | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Motion and mechanics | Air Track Spare Parts | Air tracks, gliders, spark paper and air source accessories |
| Electricity lessons | IEC Circuits Kit Spare Parts | Fuse wire, resistance wire and clips |
| Lamps and circuits | IEC Lamps and Sockets | Lamp holders, globes and circuit demonstrations |

Air Track Spare Parts for Motion Experiments
Air tracks are valuable for teaching motion, acceleration, collisions and conservation of momentum. Because students regularly handle gliders, accessories and fittings, small parts can be misplaced or worn over time.
The Air Track Spare Parts range is useful for replacing worn components and expanding the experiments that can be performed with an air track system.
Featured air track products include:
- IEC Air Source Spare Hose Assembly 2m Long
- IEC Air Track Black Spark Paper 10m x 20mm
- IEC Air Track Gliders
- IEC Air Track Base Adjust Nut
- IEC Air Track Photogate & Legs
- IEC Air Track Nylon Pulley for End of Track
For schools running mechanics practicals regularly, it is worth keeping spare glider parts, spark paper, hose fittings and adjustment hardware available.
Circuit Kit Spare Parts for Electricity Lessons
The IEC Circuits Kit Spare Parts category supports classroom electricity and electronics experiments. It includes practical replacements for common circuit kit consumables and small hardware.
Useful products include:
- IEC Circuits Kit Card of Wires – Resistance and Fuse
- IEC Circuits Kit Fahnstock Clip
- IEC Circuits Kit Fuse Wire 1Amp 0.05mm x 10m Roll
- IEC Circuits Kit Fuse Wire 1m
- IEC Circuits Kit Nichrome Wire 1m
These parts are helpful for lessons covering current, resistance, circuit protection, heat effects and simple electrical investigations.
For broader electrical teaching resources, schools may also need electronic kits and modules, connectors and terminals or electronic test equipment.
IEC Lamps and Sockets for Demonstrations
Lamp holders and globes are used across many electricity, energy transfer and circuit activities. The IEC Lamps and Sockets range includes bulbs and lamp sockets suited to educational experiments.
Featured products include:
- IEC Lamp Globe Bayonet 240V/25W STD Shape Pearl
- IEC Lamp Socket SBC Plastic Base Double Contact
- IEC Lamp Globe Festoon Mini 12V/3W
- IEC Lamp Globe Halogen Projector Type Lamp 12Vx100W
- IEC Lamp Globe QI Microscope Lamp 12V/20W Reflector Type
These are especially useful for labs that run frequent circuit board, power, optics or light-source demonstrations.
Plug-Paks, Cables and Power Supply Spare Parts
Reliable power accessories are essential for safe, consistent lab work. The IEC Plug-Paks, Cables & Power Supply Parts category includes replacement plug-paks, power cables and spare parts for IEC power equipment.
Featured products include:
- IEC Cable Power Australian Plug to IEC 3 Pin Socket 2m PVC
- IEC Mains Adaptor Plug-Pak 240/12V AC 0.5 Amp
- IEC Mains Adaptor Plug-Pak 240/12V AC 1 Amp

How to Choose the Right IEC Replacement Part
Before ordering, check the equipment model, part code and the specific component that needs replacing. Some school labs hold older equipment, so compatibility is important.
A simple maintenance checklist:
- Identify the IEC apparatus or kit.
- Check the part number, if available.
- Compare the component shape, rating and function.
- Replace consumables before they run out completely.
- Keep high-use items such as leads, clips, lamps and fuse wire in stock.
- For powered equipment, ensure repairs and inspections are handled by qualified personnel where required.
For general lab restocking, it is also worth reviewing science lab supplies, physics equipment and lab equipment.
