Ceramic porcelain insulators, built for high voltage

We craft a wide range of shapes for ceramic porcelain insulators, including ceramic heat sinks and electrical insulators. If a standard part does not fit your application, we design a custom solution that does.

What are ceramic porcelain insulators?

Ceramic electrical insulators provide non-conductive bridges between electronic components. They are also installed into control boards and boxes as heat sinks.

Ceramic is fast becoming the material of choice over glass for insulation, because it outperforms glass on nearly every metric that matters in the field.

Why ceramic insulators over glass?

Lighter weight

Easier to handle and install without sacrificing performance.

Higher heat resistance

Holds up under thermal loads that compromise glass.

Higher thermal shock resistance

Survives rapid temperature swings without cracking.

Higher voltage handling

Engineered for high-voltage loads in power and transmission.

Better in wet conditions

Performs reliably outdoors and in damp environments.

More damage resistant

Tougher against installation, shipping, and corrosion damage.

Materials we use for insulators

96% Alumina

High strength and dielectric performance for demanding insulation.

Zircon and Mullite

Thermal stability for high-temperature insulation.

Porcelain and Steatite

Proven, cost-effective bodies for general electrical insulation.

Cordierite range

Self-glazing, dense, and zircon cordierite for thermal-shock duty.

We have been providing ceramic engineering solutions to businesses in Australia and abroad for decades. If you need insulators or ceramic tubes, our team can find a fit.

Ceramic Porcelain Insulators: common questions

Can you match an existing insulator I am importing?
Yes. Send the part or its drawings and application notes and we will reverse-engineer a locally-made equivalent.
What materials do you use for insulators?
96% alumina, zircon, mullite, porcelain, steatite, low-loss steatite, and the cordierite family. We select the body to match voltage, temperature, and environment.
Do you make ceramic heat sinks?
Yes. Ceramic heat sinks are a core part of our insulator work, used where electrical isolation and heat dissipation are both required.

Need ceramic porcelain insulators?

Send a drawing, a sample, or just a description of what is failing. We will reply within 2 business days with whether we can make it, how, and at what price.
