Leach International Corporation

Leach International Corporation designs and manufactures relays, contactors and power distribution equipment. Its website calls Leach a leader in power distribution. The company says it has set the industry standard for design excellence, quality and reliability since 1919.

Its equipment is used on thousands of aerospace, defense, rail and high end industrial applications, the site says. The company has what it describes as the largest catalog of off-the-shelf commercial relays and contactors, with many customisation options.

Its product range includes relays and contactors, control devices, sockets and solid state power controllers. Custom AC/DC power distribution assemblies include primary and secondary power distribution, relay and central warning panels, GFI units and thrust reverser control units.

The company also makes ELCUs, smart contactors, wiring integrated assemblies, windshield anti-ice controllers and weapons release boxes. Its engineers work in electrical, mechanical and software groups on custom solutions. A catalogue of pre-certified solutions is ready for installation.

Leach products are listed for rotary wing aircraft such as the V-22 Osprey, UH-60 Black Hawk, H-47 Chinook and AH-64 Apache. They are also used on military aircraft including the F-16, F-22, F-15, C-130J and A400, and on commercial jets such as the Boeing 737, 747 and 777 and Embraer E-Jets.

Business jets listed include the Bombardier Global, Gulfstream, HondaJet and Learjet families. The website also lists rail, satellite, weapon system, ground vehicle and space vehicle applications.

The site describes vertical integration across its facilities, which lets the company control its own supply chain. It also describes investment in new technology and systems under new leadership.
