For over 50 years, SOC has continuously responded to the requests of its customers at the forefront of technological innovation. SOC manufactures and delivers fuses and other electronic circuit protection devices of the highest quality and best performance.

San-O Industrial Corporation was established by SOC Corporation, in 1977 to serve customers in North America. It’s facility has always been located in Long Island, New York, and initially provided only products manufactured at other worldwide locations. In 1981 San-O Industrial began manufacture of fuses for the telecommunications market and we have continued to grow over the years. Parent company, SOC Corporation, was founded in 1958, in Japan.

San-O Industrial – SOC Fuse Products

SOC Fuse include Surface Mount Fuses, Standard Cartridge & Leaded Fuses, and Telecommunication Fuses. SOC fuses are manufactured by the SOC Corporation which was established in Tokyo in November, 1958 as San-O Industrial Corporation. San-O means "Three Kings" in Japanese evolving from SOC's founding spirit of placing the utmost value on its customers, shareholders and employees. Taking the first letters of the words in its original company name, San-O Industrial Corporation renamed itself SOC Corporation in April 1983. In that same year, SOC contributed to the miniaturization of circuits for the coming age of handheld electronics through the development of micro fuses with leads.

As the computer-controlled, electronic automatic exchanges required fast-acting fuses to prevent lightning strike damage, SOC met the demand in 1980 by developing the SM series quick-acting fuse.
In 1987, SOC began production of the world's first surface mount type fuses (the MCF Series) and later developed a sub-miniature glass tube fuse (the SHV Series) with a rated voltage of 400 V and a size of 20 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter. SOC continued research and development into the twenty-first century, manufacturing an astonishingly small fuse capable of breaking a short-circuit current for primary power lines.
