Spectrum Control is a leader in the design and manufacture
of control products and systems used to condition, regulate
and govern electronic performance.
We have leveraged
our core electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering
expertise to offer our customers a broad line of signal,
power and frequency control products. Our Signal Integrity
Products Group designs and manufactures a wide range of
low pass EMI filters, surface mount EMI filters, filtered
arrays, filtered connectors, specialty ceramic capacitors,
and our newly developed motor line feed-thru (MLFT)
filters. Our Power Integrity Products and Management
Systems Group designs and manufactures numerous power
integrity products (power line filters, power entry modules,
multisection filters, power terminal blocks, and custom
power filter assemblies) and power management systems
(power distribution units, remote power management
and monitoring systems, fuse interface panels, breaker
interface panels, and custom power distribution systems).
Our recently developed Frequency Control Products Group
designs and manufactures ceramic resonators and bandpass
filters, ceramic patch antennas, duplexers, lumped element
filters, cavity filters, waveguide filters, and related products
and systems.
Using a solutions-oriented approach, we provide products
tailored to meet our customers specific needs by anticipating
and solving their systems architecture and performance
problems. We combine engineering expertise, design and
testing capabilities, vertically integrated manufacturing
processes and flexible production schedules to provide
custom solutions for our customers.

Innovative New Products
We are committed to the continuous development of
innovative new products. In 2003, we developed and
shipped our first MLFT (Motor Line Feed-Thru Technology)
products. These high performance, patent pending, EMI
filters are designed to eliminate the need for multiple
component assemblies, thereby providing customers the
needed filtering and mechanical interface at a reduced
overall cost. Initial applications for these filters include DC
motors used throughout the automotive industry. MLFT
filters can also be used in communication equipment,
industrial process controls, medical equipment, cable
telemetry, military equipment, and wireless devices. Our
recently introduced ESD/EFT (Electrostatic Discharge/
Electronically Fast Transients) protected connectors and
adapters are ideal for sensitive circuit applications,
providing ESD/EFT and EMI protection all in one low-cost
package. Our ceramic patch antenna assemblies created
specifically for the SENS (Sensor Enabled Notification
System) program provide optimal usage of the Globalstar
satellite constellation anywhere in the world. These new
products, along with many others, will provide a foundation
for our future growth.

Ever-Expanding Product Depth
Our customers constantly strive to reduce their vendor base
to improve purchasing efficiencies and reduce their
procurement costs. Our broad line of signal and power
integrity products (low pass filters, filter arrays, ceramic
capacitors, power entry filters, and custom filter assemblies),
power management systems (power distribution units,
intelligent power distribution and remote management
systems, breaker interface and fuse panels, and power
monitoring systems), and frequency control products
(ceramic patch antennas, duplexers, bandpass filters,
resonators, cavity filters, lumped element filters, and
waveguides) help customers meet their diverse product
needs through one reliable, world-class vendor.
