About TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity is a global technology company with a legacy spanning more than 75 years of engineering innovation. Headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and originally established in 2007 as a spin-off from Tyco International, TE Connectivity has grown into one of the world's most recognized designers and manufacturers of connectivity and sensor solutions. Their components are found across a staggering range of industries — from passenger cars and commercial trucks to aerospace systems, industrial automation, and renewable energy installations.

What sets TE Connectivity apart is not just the breadth of its product portfolio, but the depth of engineering that goes into every component. The company operates under a philosophy of building parts that perform reliably in the harshest real-world conditions — extreme temperatures, heavy vibration, shock loads, and demanding electrical environments. This commitment to ruggedness and precision has made TE Connectivity a go-to supplier for engineers and technicians who cannot afford electrical failures in safety-critical systems.

Relays Built for Real-World Demands

One of TE Connectivity's strongest product areas is their extensive relay lineup. Their multi-purpose relays are engineered to deliver cost-effective, dependable switching performance across automotive, HVAC, building control, and industrial applications. Leveraging well-established sub-brands like Potter & Brumfield, Axicom, SCHRACK, and AGASTAT, TE offers solutions that span electromechanical, latching, timer, and solid-state relay technologies — all optimally engineered to withstand the demands of high-cycle, high-current environments.

For vehicle-specific applications, TE Connectivity's accessory power relays are a staple in automotive electrical systems worldwide. Their automotive relay portfolio includes Micro, Mini, and Maxi ISO plug-in relays available in 12V, 24V, and 48V configurations, covering everything from ignition and fan control to wiper motors and energy management. Designed for cross-carline compatibility, these relays are built to meet the complex power distribution requirements of modern vehicles — including advanced safety systems and electrified powertrains.

Circuit Protection You Can Count On

Beyond relays, TE Connectivity brings the same engineering rigor to fuses, circuit breakers, and disconnects. Their thermal and magnetic circuit breakers combine on/off switching with reliable circuit protection in a single, compact unit. Available with rocker, push-pull, toggle, and push-to-reset actuator styles, these components are engineered to protect sensitive electrical systems in everything from production-line machinery to vehicle fuse boxes and marine power panels.

A Trusted Name Across Industries

Whether you're a technician sourcing a replacement relay for a vehicle's power distribution box or an engineer specifying components for a new electrical architecture, TE Connectivity's catalog delivers the performance and consistency professionals depend on. Their switching devices are validated to meet international standards — including UL, VDE, and automotive OEM specifications — making them a reliable choice wherever electrical integrity matters most.
