We design and manufacture high-frequency magnetic components for the electronic industry.
We strive to manufacture high-quality components at competitive prices.
All our components are designed / manufactured according to the customer’s needs.
Our typical components fall in the low-power range (1 – 1000W), although we can manufacture larger components.
We can wind almost all of the standard bobbin sizes, as well as custom bobbins.
History
Trafotek CC was created by my father (Dr. Charl Steyn) in 2000.
Unfortunately he passed away in an accident shortly afterwards, and Trafotek was dormant for a couple of years while I completed my studies in electrical engineering at the University of Pretoria.
After completing my honor’s degree, I re-opened Trafotek and we have been trading ever since (2007).
I, Gerhard Steyn, am currently the owner of Trafotek with a 100% share.
FAQ
Q: What is your winding capacity?
A: We can wind around 10 000 components per month, depending on the complexity of the components.
Q: What is the range of components that you can wind?
A: We can wind anything from an EE8 up to an E65, including toroidals, drum core inductors and various other ferrite-shapes (ETD’s, RM’s etc.)
Q: What is the cost to make a sample and how long does it take?
A: It is usually free. It takes a couple of days for a sample (if we have the materials in stock). We may ask you to supply the bobbins and cores if you require an uncommon core shape / size.
Q: Can you design components?
A: All our components are custom made for a specific customer. Yes, we can design various different high-frequency transformer topologies, as well as inductors, chokes, electro-magnets and line filters.
Q: Can you wind low-frequency (50Hz) components as well?
A: Yes we can, but we specialise in the high-frequency components.
