CST Electronics originated from Tarsus Electronic Components that was formed in 1991 and which established the Dallas Semiconductor and iButton line in the South African market. In 1997 CST Tarsus was established with CST Electronics, formed and owned by Craig Thomson, merging with Tarsus Electronic Components. Shortly after this, the Tarsus part of the name was phased out and the company became known simply as CST Electronics.

In November 2003 CST Electronics was purchased by Sue Farrell, Glynn Watkins and Ernest Campling. Business continues as usual with Ernest Campling taking over the management. CST will continue its progress on developing and growing the markets that its main suppliers address.
