Amphenol Nexus Technologies
Amphenol Nexus Technologies was founded in 1961 by William H. Flanagan and Randolph K. Byers to perfect the design and manufacture of high quality audio plugs, jacks, and MIL-S-8805/3 push button switches. In 1998, Mr. Byers retired and Fred Farahani purchased the interests of Nexus, Inc. and became a partner with Mr. Flanagan. With Freds new direction in sales and development, the product base expanded to include a line of miniature connectors. In 2008, Amphenol acquired Nexus, Inc. and formed Amphenol Nexus Technologies, providing global sales support while still maintaining Nexus strong commitment to customer support and development. Since 1961, Amphenol Nexus Technologies connectors have set the standard in the military and commercial communications headset markets. Today, Amphenol Nexus Technologies connectors are commonly used in OEM headset applications that require a "breakaway" audio connector. Amphenol Nexus Technologies switches feature very strong "tactile feedback" that is ideal for applications that require a positive way to know that the switch has been actuated. In addition, Amphenol Nexus Technologies switches are designed for applications that require a durable, reliable, and cost-effective switching method. Other applications for Amphenol Nexus Technologies audio connectors and pushbutton switches include auto racing, powerboat racing, telecommunications, analog controls, medical products, agricultural equipment, and commercial avionics.
