SIGA on-track to expand transformer production facilities New facilities on schedule despite Covid-19 precautions Sandy, Bedfordshire, 29 September 2020 – SIGA (Electronics) Ltd, the UK’s leading manufacturer of toroidal and bobbin wound components and associated assemblies, is expanding its Sandy, Bedfordshire factory to handle much higher capacity transformers, formerly manufactured and supplied by Stabilised Transformers Limited in Wolverhampton. Following risk assessments and government advice, the new facilities are set to meet UK government guidelines including those for coronavirus pandemic precautions.
Richard Thrussell, General Manager of SIGA (Electronics) Ltd, commented: “We completed the deal with Stabilised Transformers only a few days after the UK’s fi rst confi rmed cases of Covid-19. We immediately looked at the repercussions on our plan to move production from Wolverhampton to Sandy. Our management team carried out all the necessary risk assessments, factoring-in the best available guidance from UK-Gov. Thanks to the efforts of management and staff, our plans remain on-schedule despite the coronavirus restrictions.” Tel: +44 (0)1767 681266 / Email:

EMC fi lters made of High Frequency Composite Materials meet the requirements for SiC and GaN applications
SMP has developed "All Mode" EMC fi lters with high frequency stability. EMC fi lters reduce interference currents and voltage spikes in power converters and other systems. The material of the fi lters plays a decisive part: the High Frequency Composite Materials (HFCM) developed and manufactured by SMP are effective for frequencies up to the gigaHertz range and satisfy all of the requirements to which modern SiC and GaN applications are subject. The All Mode design damps both differential mode and common mode noise. By combining HFCM and All Mode technology it is possible to reduce the number of fi lter components needed in the system by about 50 percent. Among other advantages, this also means that common mode chokes or fi lters can be dispensed with.
