At its Poway headquarters, StratEdge adds capacity across U.S.-based semiconductor package design, manufacturing, assembly, and test operations to meet demand for high-frequency, high-power molded and post-fired ceramic packages for GaN, GaAs, and SiC devices.
StratEdge gold-plated tabs support eutectic die attach for GaN and other high-power semiconductors using AuSn and AuSi solders. Designed for chip-on-board applications, the tabs provide a practical die-on-tab solution for high-frequency, high-power RF phased array designs. White Paper Download available.
StratEdge will showcase post-fired and molded ceramic packages and gold plated tabs for high-frequency, high-power GaN and GaAs devices used in RF, microwave, space, defense, and harsh-environment applications.
The award recognizes StratEdge's exceptional performance and contributions to the BAE Systems' Electronic Systems sector supply chain in 2025, including product quality, operational excellence, and collaborative support for mission-critical applications.
StratEdge Corporation designs, manufactures, and provides assembly services for a complete line of high-frequency and high-power semiconductor packages operating from DC to 63+ GHz. StratEdge offers post-fired ceramic and lower-cost molded ceramic packages, specializing in packages for extremely demanding gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) devices. Markets served include telecom for 5G, VSAT, broadband wireless, satellite, defense, test and measurement, automotive, clean energy, and down-hole. All packages are lead-free and most meet RoHS and WEEE standards. Our facility in Santee, California, near San Diego, is both ITAR registered and ISO 9001:2015 certified.

StratEdge offers customers packages in leaded and leadless drop-in formats, leaded and leadless surface mount formats, and specialty high power and high speed digital designs. In addition to the hundreds of standard package outlines available, StratEdge offers custom design services at a fraction of the cost of co-fired ceramic packaging. Please contact the factory for additional details.
The SMK/SMX series of surface mount packages are excellent for use at frequencies as high as 26 GHz. This is an example of an SMX customized for use with a DC-18 GHz SPDT switch MMIC.
The SMK/SMX series packages are available in several different sizes and lead counts. Please contact the factory for detailed information.
GW4040M-5 is a high reliability 52 lead package used in many defense and aerospace applications. It has excellent electrical performance at frequencies as high as 12 GHz when used in a GSG configuration.
These packages are available with combo solder lids for classic hermetic applications.
The Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity were sent to explore the surface of Mars in the summer of 2003. To transmit signals and information back to Earth, the rovers were equipped with the 580412 SE 20 power amplifier package from StratEdge. The amplifier system was designed to protect the gallium arsenide monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) to ensure true signal integrity. All signals that are transmitted go into the StratEdge package through the chip, and back out the package. Read More
