Dean Technology (HVCA-CKE)

The Dean Technology, Inc. Family of Companies

HV Component Associates (HVCA) specializes in the design, development and manufacture of high voltage rectifiers, bridge rectifiers and special assemblies for specific customer applications. CKE is a manufacturer of high voltage silicon rectifiers, MOVs, selenium suppressors, silicon carbide varistors, high voltage disk ceramic capacitors, high current/high voltage assemblies and also builds custom assemblies for unique requirements.

CKE was created in 1980 through the acquisition of the FMC Syntron metallic rectifier and surge suppressor product lines, as well as the General Electric, International Rectifier, Westinghouse and  Sarkes-Tarzian (ST-Semicon) selenium lines. Later, CKE began to supply Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), providing direct replacements for most of the Harris, GE, Panasonic and Siemens MOV products. CKE introduced the TRANZAP line to provide replacements for silicon zener products similar to those made by General Semiconductor, Motorola and Semicon.

The administrative and technical group of HVCA, CKE and ASL is comprised of individuals who have pioneered high voltage rectifier technology for almost half a century. Our combined experience, along with advanced technology, is incorporated into the design and manufacturing techniques used to produce our products. This benefits our customers, who receive the most economical and highest quality products available.
