Semiconductors For The Mining Industry

Mining market environments can be every bit as challenging as space or military exposures. The high temperatures and vibrations associated with mining and drilling environments for mining and down-hole drilling present unique technical challenges for operating electrical systems.

Aerospace Semiconductor’s electronics are designed to withstand these extreme environments so that our circuits can operate deep underground on drilling equipment, where the ambient temperatures can approach 150 degrees C. In addition to semiconductors in the mining industry, Aerospace Semiconductor also routinely provides accelerometers, temperature sensors, 4-20ma transducer amplifiers and power conversion to mining and drilling industries.
