About Amphenol FTG
Amphenol FTG – Friedrich Göhringer Elektrotechnik GmbH manufactures electrical equipment for power distribution at its Black Forest plant in Triberg. The portfolio includes 1- to 4-pole phase busbars for NH fuse switch disconnectors, UL applications (UL508, UL489) and motor protection circuit breakers, power distribution blocks, flexible power distribution systems, distribution and incoming feed terminals, grounding material and cable bridges as well as steel/clamp terminals. Production and processing are predominantly in copper and aluminium, with steel also used for terminals and accessories. The products are certified according to common standards and find application in wind power and photovoltaic systems, power plants, industry and mechanical and plant engineering, mobility as well as in electrical sub-distribution in buildings. In addition to the standard catalogue with over 12,000 items, the company develops customer-specific solutions and advises on individual requirements. Founded in 1962, the company is part of a worldwide group and an important employer in the Southern Black Forest region.

Additional services
Quality
The products are certified according to common standards, including UL508 and UL489 for the North American market as well as DIN VDE 0100-443/-534 for surge protection applications. Touch-safe constructions (touchsafe, IP20) and pre-assembled busbars reduce wiring errors and hotspots.
