Amphenol

Amphenol Corporation is one of the world's leading producers of electronic and fiber optic connectors, cable and interconnect systems.

On 10 October 2005, Teradyne and Amphenol announced that Amphenol would acquire Teradyne Connection Systems, for about US$ 390 million in cash. [link] TCS, based in Nashua, New Hampshire manufactures high-density electronic connectors, complete backplanes, and systems packaging, a product line that would complement Amphenol's existing lines of business.

The largest division of Amphenol is Amphenol Aerospace in Sidney, NY. This is the birth place of the D38999 cylindrical connector as well as the 29504 fiber optic contact.
