About Amphenol Sine Systems
Amphenol Sine Systems is a manufacturer of electrical connection systems based in Clinton Township, Michigan (USA), and a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation. The company develops and manufactures connectors, cable assemblies and wire harnesses for demanding environments such as heavy equipment, precision farming, factory automation, transportation, marine and data centers. The value chain ranges from custom design engineering and rapid prototyping to series production, including overmolding (horizontal molding) for value-added wire harnesses as well as the production of solid machined contacts (pin/socket, sizes 12/16/20) with gold or nickel plating. Production focuses are located in Nogales, Mexico; in addition, there is manufacturing in China and global distribution channels within the Amphenol network. Sine Systems has also taken over responsibility for Amphenol Tuchel Industrial and Amphenol Audio products in the Americas, resulting in a global product ecosystem with cross-site support. The quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
