Overview

For 50 years, SOC has continuously responded to the requests of its customers at the forefront of technological innovation. SOC manufactures and delivers fuses and other electronic circuit protection devices of the highest quality and best performance.

SOC continues to evolve, strengthening its global reliability.

Who is SOC America Inc.?

SOC America Inc. (formerly San-O Industrial Corporation) was established by SOC Corporation in 1975 to servce customers in North America. Initially it provided products manufactured at other worldwide locations. In 1981, SOC America began manufacturing fuses for the telecommunications market. These 'Made in the USA' telecommunication fuses and fuse holders are manufactured in the Holbrook, New York facility. SOC America provides fuse solutions for the engineering community in a broad base of markets. Some of these markets are medical, test& measurement, automotive (hybrid electric vehicles), aerospace, marine, audio/video, industrial automation, security, broadcast and telecommunications.

SOC America's Philosophy - SOC America Sells Services not Commodity Products:

1.
Provide customers with highest level of technical support --- Equipment Curves with solution.
2.
On-time delivery --- Meet scheduled releases and offer other programs.
3.
Exacting production standards --- Precise and consistent manufactured fuses (superior fuse design).
4.
Product customization --- Meet the customers unique application requirements.

Competitors Low Costs vs SOC Best Value

Low costs does not necessarily translate into actual savings if proper technical support, consistency of product from part-to-part and lot-to-lot, on time delivery and unique customer needs are not given a high priority.

In many instances, selection of a slightly more expensive fuse that has a higher precision can result in a cost savings for components or circuits being protected. The most common result is the ability of the design engineer to employ a lower rated power component in the final design due to the higher precision of the fuse. This saves money on the component being protected, as well as generally providing a component with a smaller footprint.

SOC America Focuses on Future Technology Demands:

Higher energy densities --- voltage & current ratings in smaller packaging.
Better precision from fuse to fuse --- precise current ranges.
Higher fuse reliability --- fewer nuisance interruptions.

SOC America is a Custom Fuse Manufacturer:

We apply new materials and methods.
We are always seeking the latest technology for circuit protection.
We view our customers' new challenges in fusing as opportunities to create new products.
We are a Made-to-Order & Engineer-to-Order Fuse Manufacturer.
