the rectangular 1.27 mm pitch connector developed by

Nicomatic (2021/03/31 11:33:48pm)

Nicomatic, the French company recognized for the design and manufacture of miniature, rugged

connector systems, and Amphenol Socapex, the world-renowned manufacturer of rugged

interconnection solutions have signed a dual-sourcing agreement, whereby Amphenol Socapex will

sell Nicomatic’s modular, 1.27mm pitch rectangular EMM connector family under the brand MICRO

HDAS. This will benefit customers in hirel industries who require a dual source for this innovative

connector.

Under the global agreement, a selection of Nicomatic’s EMM series connectors will be integrated

into the Amphenol Socapex portfolio. Both companies will use their respective channels and

customers to address new markets with the high performance connector, and each company will

deploy its own strategy and use its own networks to respond to satisfy the demands of its customers,

regardless of the geographic area targeted.

Comments Olivier Nicollin, CEO of Nicomatic: “We approached this partnership in the spirit of co-

operation. We are looking to accelerate the adoption of a connector that we are proud of, but above

all, we are convinced that this agreement offers added value to our customers. Our partners have

trusted us for a long time because our connectivity meets their requirements. We are committed on

a daily basis to developing an ecosystem in which our customers are central, thanks to the strong

links we create and develop with our employees and also with our suppliers, or in this case, even

with our ‘competitors’. This philosophy guides the commitments we make, and this initiative with

Amphenol Socapex is a perfect example of where we choose to work together to better serve our

customers.”

Adds Michel Albrieux, Managing Director of Amphenol Socapex: “The 1.27 mm pitch miniature

rectangular connectors are an obvious complement to our wide range of PCB connectors. We know

that our customers require not only wanted a technology solution, but also a need a second source in

order to secure their supply chains. It is quite natural that our two companies, who are physically

close to each other and complementary, have been able to reach such an agreement. We are equally

enthusiastic regarding possible future joint developments for this connector technology, which has

everything needed to become the standard benchmark in years to come.”
