From commercial airliners to the surface of Mars — our magnetics fly

Pacific Transformer has been engineering mission-critical magnetics for aerospace programs for over 60 years. Our transformers can be found on thousands of commercial airliners around the world, in satellites orbiting Earth and Mars, and on the Martian surface itself. When a transformer fails at altitude or in orbit, there's no warranty claim — just consequences.

Engineered for the Extremes

Aerospace programs don't have room for approximations. Components must survive extreme temperature swings, intense vibration, altitude changes, and the vacuum of space. Our engineers design every magnetic component to meet or exceed qualification requirements from the first draft — not after multiple revision cycles. We're PFMEA approved, operate a WMTC-384 Certified Internal Test Site, and subject components to full environmental stress screening before they leave our facility. When your program depends on it, we make sure it works.

Our advanced computer design programs and access to cutting-edge materials allow us to achieve power densities and thermal performance far beyond what commercial-grade components can deliver. From toroid inductors and ferrite transformers to small high-current designs, we engineer magnetics optimized for the weight, size, and reliability constraints of flight-critical hardware.

Experience in Aerospace

We've been at this since before the space race. Six decades of experience means our engineers have seen — and solved — nearly every magnetics challenge aerospace programs can throw at them. Our Anaheim, California facility operates test chambers capable of -65°C to +160°C thermal cycling, certified centrifuge testing, and a complete suite of qualification testing. We don't just manufacture to spec. We test to spec, document to spec, and deliver on time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Aerospace Transformer FAQs

Our custom magnetics are used in commercial airliners, satellites, general aviation aircraft, helicopters, and space exploration hardware. Our DC-to-DC converter parts are operating on the surface of Mars as well as in satellites orbiting Mars and Earth.
Our Anaheim facility operates thermal test chambers from -65°C to +160°C and includes a certified centrifuge tester. We can perform thermal cycling, vibration screening, and altitude simulation to meet your qualification requirements.
Yes — we manufacture to MIL-T-27, Class 4, 5, and 6. Our internal test site is WMTC-384 certified, so qualification testing is handled in-house rather than sent out to a third party.
Absolutely. Our engineering team will take your specs, design a custom solution at no charge, build a prototype, and support you through qualification testing — all under one roof. We’re built to be your complete magnetics partner, not just a parts supplier.
We use advanced materials that achieve power densities far beyond what’s available in commercial-grade components. Our capabilities include toroid inductors, ferrite transformers, small high-current transformers, and advanced computer-aided design for optimizing weight, size, and thermal performance in flight-critical applications.
Yes. Our custom magnetics have been used in NASA programs and other space applications where component failure is not an acceptable outcome. Our DC-to-DC converter parts are currently operating on the Martian surface and in orbiting satellites.
