RTI Electronics (RTIE) subsidiary was established in February, 1997, when RTI acquired the assets of the Rodan Division of Ketema, Inc. RTI manufactures and sells thermistors and thermistor assemblies, which are solid state devices that produce precise changes in electrical resistance as a TM function of any change in absolute body temperature. RTIE’s Surge-Gard product line, an inrush current limiting device used primarily in computer power supplies, represents approximately 50% of RTIE’s sales.
RTI manufactures its components on a short lead-time basis in order to supply just in time delivery to its customers. Due to the short lead time, the Company does not include orders from RTI’s customers in its published backlog figures.
