Abracon Corporation: Products for Frequency Precision

Abracon Corporation was established in 1992 in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The company specializes in the manufacture of frequency control, signal conditioning, clock distribution, and magnetic components. The company’s main product portfolio includes crystals & resonators, oscillators, and magnetics & capacitors but also produces various radio frequency & microwave products and filters. Design and engineering resources are located in California and Illinois, with distribution centers worldwide in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Scotland, and Germany. Crystals, resonators, and oscillators all have the similar function of providing a stable clock signal of fixed frequency.

The difference between them depends on a device’s requirements. Typically oscillators are more accurate, stable, and costly than crystals which are more so then resonators. Ceramic resonators and crystals both use the mechanical resonance of vibration to produce electrical signals. In aviation applications, products like Abracon’s can be used in communications, navigation and guidance systems, radar, and sensors. Frequency control products are necessary to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, to stabilize radio transmitters and receivers, and to keep track of time. Abracon offers crystal products with specifications including: SAW resonators, SMD crystals, kHz SMD crystals, thru-hole crystals, kHz thru-hole crystals, surge protectors, SMD ceramic resonators, thru-hole ceramic resonators, and test and burn-in sockets. Their oscillators include: SMD, MEMs, thru-hole, low phase noise, SMD programmable, thru-hole programmable, and SMD Low EMI oscillators. In addition, Abracon has SAW filters, ceramic filters, MCF’s, and dielectric filters. Magnetics & capacitors are devices which assist in powering electronics (such as lighting the display on an aircraft’s control panel). Abracon’s range of magnetics & capacitors includes: circuit protection, inductors, LAN magnetics, ferrite chip beads, chokes, and transformers, all with a variety of specifications.
