OUR CUSTOMERS

Manufacturers

Prioritising efficiency in your business is critical. We work closely with our customers to provide individualised solutions for their specific needs. We’ll work with you to optimise inventory management, reduce costs with scheduled drop shipments, and secure lower unit prices without having to increase your inventory holdings and their associated costs. Our quality management systems are key to providing a high-calibre service, with quality-assured products, consistently meeting your expectations.

Designers

We provide reliable support and prompt communication. Supply you with comprehensive documentation, including data sheets and other technical resources like application notes if required. Or why not connect with our technical staff, who can answer questions and provide guidance with your component selection process. We also stock resources to simplify your prototyping, like our low-cost Designer’s Kits. Refills on all Coilcraft Kits are FREE.

Universities & Students

We believe education is paramount for any industry. We encourage engineering teachers and instructional lab managers to get in touch about our free Coilcraft RF and Power Magnetics Lab Kits. These kits contain a broad selection of Coilcraft components to help bring practical, hands-on experience into the classroom. We also acknowledge that students are often on a tight budget and are proud to offer free samples of all Coilcraft parts for use on design and capstone projects.

Defence & Space Technologies

Our Defence and Space Technology customers work with us in confidence. We are JOSCAR-AU registered and ISO 9001 certified. Ensuring we don’t just deliver high-quality products but also adhere to strong quality management systems. We know that some projects can be long-term and complex; as your supplier, we pride ourselves on being adaptable as we work with you through the process. Need high-quality magnetics for mission-critical applications? Our Coilcraft Critical Products and Services (CPS) are designed and tested to perform in some of the world’s toughest environments.

Hobbyists

We don’t just support high-volume production orders; we have no or low minimum order quantity on our products, ensuring you have access to the same quality components as the manufacturers do. Connect with us and let us know what you’re working on; we love hearing what you’re up to and how we can support you along the way. If you are an amateur electronics club or group, get in touch to receive donations of obsolete or out-of-date components.
