Robert J. Darrah founded Darrah Electric Company in 1960 as a manufacturer of high quality DC Power supplies for the plating and metal finishing industries.

Over the years Darrah has diversified in three primary areas of focus: Manufacturing, Distribution and Service.


Manufacturing

As a manufacturer of DC Power supplies, Darrah designs and builds products for a variety of industries. Most products are custom designed and built to meet customer's specifications or applications. Darrah cooling capabilities include air, water and oil cooled designs. DC outputs range in size from 0 to 1000 volts and up to 50,000 amps in power.

Many of Darrah's manufactured power supplies are designed for OEM accounts. These power supplies are engineered and assembled to meet specific customer needs. These models are often labeled with the OEM nameplate and sold as part of a system or contract. Darrah Electric is capable of taking responsibility for all engineering, drawings, specifications and approvals.

To support manufacturing, Darrah Electric has an engineering staff with a combined experience of over 75 years of power supply design and applications.

Darrah Electric designs and manufactures our own power transformers. Other capabilities include a welding and painting department for enclosures.

Darrah assembly personnel for manufacturing all have a minimum of two years of Electronic Technical degrees. Assembly workers are capable of layouts, assembly and wiring.

Darrah manufactured products are sold and distributed worldwide by sales forces within the various OEM accounts as well as a network of representatives in major markets in North and South America.


Darrah Distribution

In April of 1976 Darrah Electric first signed a contract to become a distributor of power semiconductor products. Our first product line was the FMC Semiconductor Division, later being absorbed by Siemens and now a division of Microsemi.

Since that time, Darrah Electric has signed distributor agreements with Powerex Incorporated, IXYS Corporation, Dynex Semiconductor, ABB Semiconductor, Aavid Thermalloy, Crydom Corporation and ABB Controls.

Darrah has concentrated our distribution efforts on the products we know best, power semiconductors. Our experience with using many of the products ourselves has allowed us to offer practical and economical solutions to our customers.

As a distributor with a narrow line of products, inside technical support and a large inventory, Darrah has become a major asset to the lines that we represent.

In addition, Darrah has a large in house value added assembly area. Power semiconductor stack assemblies are built in both air and liquid cooled designs. Products are supplied per Darrah engineered drawings or per customer supplied specifications.

Darrah's Quality Control Department trains and monitors production personnel. Certifications, drawings and test reports are supplied with the finished product.

To further enhance Darrah's assembly capabilities, stacks are 100% tested to customers specifications.

Darrah distributor products are sold through a staff of three inside customer service personnel, two direct outside sales people and six representatives located throughout the United States.
