                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

          KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby
constitutes and appoints each of Richard G. Cutter, Ill, Bridget K. Quinn and
Kathryn J. Diller, signing singly, as the undersigned's true and lawful
authorized representative and attorney-in-fact to:

          (1)     execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
                  undersigned's capacity as an officer or director of CTS
                  Corporation (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4,and 5, and any and all
                  amendments thereto, in accordance with Section 16 of the
                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
                  and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

          (2)     do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
                  undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete
                  the execution of any such form or schedule and the timely
                  filing of such form or schedule with the United States
                  Securities Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or stock
                  market or other authority; and

          (3)     take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection
                  with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such
                  attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest
                  of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
                  understood that the documents executed by such
                  attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this
                  Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
                  terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in
                  such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

          The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever

cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers
herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing
