Spirit Electronics announces franchised distribution for Q-Tech Corporation, offering crystal oscillators for the aerospace and defense supply chain. Q-Tech produces high-reliability crystal oscillators for space, military, avionics and extreme environment applications. The Q-Tech product portfolio adds to Spirit’s curated domestic space and defense product lines alongside supply chain services including MIL-STD-883 testing, circuit card assembly, and ASIC programs.
“Q-Tech has a long-standing flight heritage with their product portfolio of crystal oscillators,” says Spirit CEO Marti McCurdy. “Q-Tech specializes in space- and defense-grade high-performance products that are essential to our customers’ mission success, making them an ideal supply chain partner.”
Q-Tech pioneered hybrid crystal oscillator technology as the first manufacturer to appear on the MIL-PRF-55310 qualified products list in 1972. Since then, Q-Tech oscillators have supported government and commercial space programs, both in the U.S. and internationally, as an award-winning manufacturer. Q-Tech supports high-reliability products, including temperature-controlled and radiation-hardened hybrid oscillators capable of performance in harsh environments.
Spirit Electronics’ franchised distribution lines include space- and defense-grade manufacturers of semiconductors, FPGAs, power management, capacitors, interconnects and more. With the ability to source a full bill of materials, test and screen to MIL-STD-883, and perform circuit card assembly, Spirit supports space and defense customers by managing supply chain services all under one supplier.
“Q-Tech’s design range and product development really complement Spirit’s agility and breadth of service for the space and defense markets,” concludes McCurdy.
