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 pushbutton switches. In 1998, Mr. Byers retired and Fred Farahani purchased shares in Nexus, Inc. and became a partner with Mr. Flanagan. With Fred's new direction in sales and development, the product line was expanded to include a miniature connector line. In 2008, Amphenol purchased Nexus, Inc. and formed Amphenol Nexus Technologies, which provides worldwide sales support while maintaining Nexus' strong commitment to customer support and development. Since 1961, Amphenol Nexus Technologies connectors have become the standard in the military and commercial communications headset markets.
Today, their connectors are typically used in OEM headset applications where breakaway style audio connectors are required. Amphenol Nexus Technologies' switches have very strong tactile feedback, making them ideal for applications where you need to be sure 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 element.
