What Electronetics does

Electronetics designs and manufactures custom magnetic components — primarily transformers, inductors, chokes and high-frequency magnetics — for aerospace, medical, defense, audio, telecommunications and industrial customers. The company uses proprietary magnetic simulation software (modeling heat loss, core loss, efficiency, temperature rise, inductance with and without DC bias, and winding capacitance) alongside MathCAD, SolidWorks and AutoCAD to engineer application-specific designs, including constant-voltage (ferroresonant) transformers with regulation as tight as ±3% and planar constructions for height-constrained assemblies. Production is 100% US-based at a 20,660 sq ft facility in Everett, WA, supported by a Voltech AT3600 tester, LabView-based production test, 100% HiPot testing and parametric acceptance testing under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

The business model is sales-led and project-based: customers submit RFQs via the website or by phone, then engineering works directly with the customer's design team on prototype through production. Revenue is generated from one-off custom design engagements, ongoing production orders, prototype engineering, contract manufacturing, and value-added assembly and inventory management. Pricing is quote-based with no minimum order quantities and no hidden fees, and lead time for prototypes is typically 5–7 days. The customer base spans OEM engineering teams in regulated and high-reliability end markets, with named customers including Absolute Aviation (aerospace), Quantel USA (laser/photonics) and Wil-Med Global (medical). Serviceable verticals and operational levers are concentrated in the firm's cited strengths: aerospace 400 Hz transformers, medical isolation magnetics, defense ruggedized components, telecom power magnetics, and renewable/solar inverter Ferro transformers (>230,000 units shipped, cumulative >$55M in related sales over 10+ years).

Since 2019, Electronetics has operated as a division of Triad Magnetics (a wholly owned subsidiary of Axis Corporation with manufacturing in Taiwan, China and the Philippines). The firm was previously a social enterprise of Northwest Center, a $40M/900-employee nonprofit; it remains headquartered in Perris, California at Triad's address while maintaining its manufacturing presence in Everett, WA adjacent to Boeing.
