AMP Connectors, also known as AMP or the AMP Corporation, was a leading manufacturer of electronic connectors and other components. Founded in 1941, the company was headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and grew to become one of the premier manufacturers of electronic components worldwide, with a global presence and an extensive product portfolio.

 

AMP Connectors offered a wide range of connectors, including modular plugs and jacks, cable assemblies, terminals, and PCB connectors. The company's products were used in a variety of applications, including telecommunications, data centers, industrial automation, and automotive electronics.

 

Over the course of its history, AMP Connectors was involved in several mergers and acquisitions, eventually becoming part of Tyco International Ltd. in 1999. The AMP brand name has since been retired, and the Tyco Electronics Corporation, which was spun off from Tyco International in 2007, now continues to manufacture and sell electronic connectors and related products under various brand names and subsidiaries.

 

The legacy of AMP Connectors lives on through its technological innovations and contributions to the electronic components industry.
