As a niche importer and distributor of quality components and instrumentation products, Actum Electronics has built up a solid reputation. “We have supplied the defence sector since the Group’s inception, and continue to focus our product offering here,” director Greg Barron notes.
The latest trends in the defence sector are space optimisation, weight reduction, temperature resistance and robustness. “This equates to a high degree of reliability, as military applications demand superior performance under the most demanding conditions,” Barron comments.
International products distributed by Actum Electronics include Erni Electronics GmbH, a leading manufacturer of connectors. Laird Technology is a preferred supplier of EMI shielding and custom absorbers for military applications from jets to fleets.
Instrument Plastics specialises in the manufacture and supply of optical grade contrast enhancement filters for electronic displays. These filters are designed to improve display readability by enhancing contrast and reducing reflections, while also providing protection and improving the overall appearance.
Actum Electronics is also the exclusive local distributor of the Schroff and Calmark range of rugged-yet-lightweight modular solutions with high shock and vibration resistance, all designed for EMI/RFI interference. KVG Quartz Crystal Technology GmbH offers a wide range of crystals, oscillators, filters and specific quartz crystal products.
“A great benefit of KVG is that it has a standard range in addition to customer-specific solutions. Actum Electronics has had great success in specifying the KVG products into military as well as avionics projects in South Africa,” Barron reveals.
He adds that Actum Electronics has also enjoyed success over the years in supplying ESD products and services into the military market. “Due to strict controls and regulations with regard to ESD controlled areas, Actum has installed many ESD facilities here, from ESD flooring to ESD working stations and grounding solutions.” Actum Electronics also provides a wide range of ESD packaging solutions from shielding bags to conductive boxes.
The Actum Group comprises Actum Electronics, which focuses on electronic components, and Actum Industrial, which encompasses industrial components, instrumentation, pneumatics and professional tooling. The two main divisions represents leading international brands in their respective markets, with a focus on high-end niche products and services.
