Amphenol
Amphenol Corporation is an American producer of electronic and fiber optic connectors, cable and interconnect systems such as coaxial cables. Amphenol is a portmanteau from the corporation's original name, American Phenolic Corp.
Amphenol was founded in Chicago in 1932 by entrepreneur Arthur J. Schmitt, whose first product was a tube socket for radio tubes (valveholder bases). Amphenol expanded significantly during World War II, when the company became the primary manufacturer of connectors used in military hardware, including airplanes and radios. From 1967 to 1982 it was part of Bunker Ramo Corporation.[citation needed]
The company sells its products into diverse electronics markets, including military-aerospace, industrial, automotive, information technology, mobile phones, wireless infrastructure, broadband, medical, and pro audio. Operations are located in more than 60 locations around the world.[citation needed]
Amphenol's world headquarters is located in Wallingford, Connecticut. The largest division of Amphenol is Amphenol Aerospace (formerly Bendix Corporation) in Sidney, New York. This is the birthplace of the MIL-DTL-38999 cylindrical connector. Amphenol engineers also invented the commonly used BNC connector ("Bayonet Neill-Concelman").
Amphenol Fiber Systems International is a fiber optic company started in 1993 that specializes in the fabrication and manufacturing of fiber optic connectivity products and systems. AFSI provides communication systems rooted in fiber optic interconnect technology. AFSI employs over 250 people at its 94,000 square foot facility in the heart of the telecom corridor in Allen, just north of Dallas, Texas.
The Amphenol Cables on Demanda division launched in December 2006, specializing in distributing standard cable assemblies via an e-commerce storefront selling over 2500 audio, video, computer, and networking cables. Offices are located in New York, California, Florida, Toronto, and China.[citation needed]
In 1986, Amphenol acquired Socapex, a French manufacturer of connectors and interconnect systems based in Thyez. The company manufactures a variety of electrical and fiber optic connectors, contacts and accessories for the Defense, Aviation, Rail Mass Transit, Energy, Entertainment and Space industries.
In May 2005, Amphenol acquired SV Microwave, a manufacturer of RF connectors, components and cable assemblies.[citation needed]
