Avnet Abacus Partners with TE DEUTSCH for Connector Franchise

Avnet Abacus, a leading distributor of electronic components, has recently been awarded the franchise to sell the portfolio of rugged DEUTSCH connectors from TE Connectivity. This partnership will allow Avnet Abacus to offer a wider range of high-quality connectors to its customers.

The DEUTSCH family of environmentally sealed electrical connectors has been trusted in industrial and commercial vehicles and other applications for over 40 years. These connectors are specifically designed to withstand harsh conditions, such as dirt, moisture, salt spray, and vibration, which can potentially contaminate or damage electrical connections.

The portfolio includes the HD and DT ranges of connectors, which are known for their robust-circular and rugged-rectangular designs respectively. These connectors are especially tailored for industrial and commercial vehicle applications, where reliability and durability are of utmost importance.

"The combination of TE Connectivity's product expertise and Avnet Abacus' design capabilities should prove to be a winning formula for the engineering community," says Barry Stunt, a representative from TE Connectivity. This partnership will enable both companies to better serve their customers and meet the demands of the market.

"The decision represents a great opportunity to grow sales and increase the customer base for this market-leading technology, and one which we will firmly embrace," says Rudy Van Parijs, the president of Avnet Abacus. Avnet Abacus is excited about the potential this partnership brings and is committed to providing exceptional service and support to its customers.
