Charcroft adds new franchise and specialist field-based engineerneer


Charcroft Electronics, a specialist distributor and manufacturer of electronic components, has added Central Semiconductor, as an extension to the existing franchise with AEM Inc. The company has also welcomed a new specialist to its field-based team.



“It is the ability to evolve and adapt that is key to maintaining the specialist support which is vital to customers in harsh and critical industries such as space, defence and high-end industry,” explained Roger Tall, Charcroft director. “Delivering this level of support relies on combining 50 years of in-depth understanding of the industries, components and standards, with the ability to offer a solution to the unique challenge faced by individual customers.”


As the new technical sales engineer, James Spencer brings a degree in Astrophysics combined with his technical experience supporting the design of cutting-edge power conversion systems for data centres, humanoid robotics, specialist off-road vehicles and high-end industrial applications, in addition to his experience covering space and aerospace applications. James is based in the East Midlands and enjoys taking part in regular track-days at circuits across the UK as well as playing lead-guitar in a rock band.


Customers will benefit from the Central Semiconductor portfolio of products including the latest GaN FETs and Super Junction MOSFETs as well as an enhanced Super Industrial range offering ruggedised components for harsh environments, including radiation-tolerant parts suitable for LEO satellite applications. Another key aspect is the offering of legacy semiconductors, which strengthen the support provided to aerospace and defence customers.


According to Roger Tall: “These additions ensure that customers operating in high-end and critical sectors can access the highest level of specialist support, especially when they manufacture systems in lower volume and with extended lifetimes.”
