What Transko Electronics does

Transko Electronics, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of precision frequency control devices headquartered at 3981 E. Miraloma Ave, Anaheim, California. Founded in 1992 as an importer/exporter of electronic components, the company moved into manufacturing in 1993 and has progressively built a broad catalog spanning quartz crystals (32.768kHz to 300MHz), crystal oscillators (including MEMS-based TMM series), VCXOs, TCXOs, OCXOs, VCOs (up to 7GHz), SAW filters, ceramic filters, resonators, inductors, and RF circulators/isolators. Technical highlights include the TSM16 (claimed as the world's smallest SMD crystal oscillator), ultra-low phase noise oscillators down to -168dBc/Hz, Stratum 3 compliant TCXOs, and ultra-low-power OCXOs at 50mA max current. The portfolio includes AEC-Q200 automotive-qualified variants and the company has been ISO 9001 certified since 2001.

Transko sells through direct sales in North America and a global network of authorized distributors and sales representatives, anchored by Future Electronics (Americas, Europe, Asia) plus regional reps covering China, Southeast Asia, Israel, and the UK/Nordics. The company targets telecommunications infrastructure, networking, high-definition audio, aerospace/defense (including Cospas-Sarsat emergency beacons), and industrial/military customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Differentiating capabilities cited by the company include a 72-hour quick-turn delivery window for custom requirements and drop-in replacement solutions for discontinued parts from Abracon, Murata, Epson Toyocom, and Citizen Finetech.

The company has a lean operating footprint of 1-10 employees, has recorded one acquisition (Cal Crystal Labs Comclok, 2016), three Anaheim facility expansions (1998, 2005, 2012), and was awarded Johnson Controls' 2020 Leadership Award in Agility and Supply Chain Continuity. Revenue figures are not disclosed in available sources.
