Rochester Electronics ensures a continuous supply of custom electronic hybrid modules for long life military applications
Hybrid modules are used extensively in military applications. However, these long-life applications may require critical equipment to be operational for decades, making continuity of supply a significant challenge. Learn how Rochester provided a hybrid module assembly solution for an aerospace and defence technology company.
The challenge An aerospace and defence technology company approached Rochester Electronics for assembly services to support its hybrid assembly circuit production. Specialised high-frequency assembly and test support, based onshore in the United States with ITAR compliance, was required to ensure program continuity. The customer required a custom military hybrid module designed in the 1970s to support active government programs. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of the original hybrid product was no longer
supporting new builds. Additionally, the active semiconductor components required to support the hybrid were no longer available on the open market. The Rochester solution Rochester Electronics has extensive capabilities to support the requirements of long-life military applications, providing hybrid module assemblies per MIL-PRF-38534 and MIL-STD-883, with a range of substrates and assembly techniques. Its US-based Newburyport, Massachusetts facilities have over 60,000 square feet of clean room space available
