INDUSTRY > DEFENSE

Pacific Transformer magnetics are used on the majority of hardware used by our armed forces

Our engineers prototyped the originals and continue to work on America's drone fleet. From the cockpit to the armaments under the wings, we're on board all manned fighters. Tanks, spy satellites, submarines, submarine detectors, cruise missiles, patriot missiles — we're meeting the highest expectations of our military command.

Expert Partner

A Preferred Supplier to the U.S. Military

Defense programs don't have room for approximations. Our engineers design every magnetic component to meet or exceed mil-spec requirements from the first draft — not after multiple revision cycles. We're ITAR registered, PFMEA approved, operate a WMTC-384 Certified Internal Test Site, and subject components to full environmental stress screening before they leave our facility. We use advanced materials to achieve power densities far greater than available to commercial customers, and our configuration expertise extends to specialized form factors like submarine hatch-compatible designs.

Our capabilities include multi-phase transformers and harmonic reduction, three-phase inductors and high-frequency inductors, and 400 Hz transformer engineering. When your program depends on it, we make sure it works — and we'll engineer a custom solution at no charge.

Experience in Defense

Pacific Transformer has been a trusted supplier to defense contractors and the U.S. Military for over six decades.
