Spectrum Control

Spectrum Control is a leader in the design and manufacture of control products and systems used to condition, regulate and govern electronic performance. Spectrum Control has leveraged its core electromagnetic interference (”EMI“) filtering expertise to offer 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). 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, Spectrum Control can 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

Spectrum Control is committed to the continuous development of innovative new products. In 2003, Spectrum Control developed and shipped its 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. With its 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.
