Amphenol Canada and TraceParts: A Digital Strategy for the Engineers of Tomorrow

Amphenol Canada is headquartered in Markham, a suburb of Toronto, Canada, with manufacturing in Belleville, Canada, Nogales, Mexico, and Bursa, Turkiye. Managing the entire creative process, from design to manufacturing, quality inspection and shipping, Amphenol Canada draws on over 60 years of experience to serve customers in the defense, aerospace and commercial sectors.

Amphenol Canada has made a name for itself by developing innovative technologies that meet the growing need for reliable electronic and electrical interconnect in demanding applications. The company offers filtered connectors that provide advanced protection against electromagnetic interference, as well as rugged connectors designed to withstand harsh environments. Amphenol Canada is also an industry leader in high-speed signal connectors, essential for the rapidly expanding in-flight entertainment industry in commercial aviation.

Thanks to its expertise in sectors such as defense, space, military and commercial aerospace, Amphenol Canada has earned a reputation for excellence and quality among the world’s leading users of electronic components. Its ability to understand and meet the needs of its many customers makes Amphenol Canada a recognized leader in these demanding and constantly evolving markets.

Amphenol Canada has already received requests for its CAD models, testifying to the importance of its connector solutions in the design process of engineers and designers worldwide. This directly underlines the growing interest in Amphenol Canada components in various sectors, where CAD models play a crucial role in speeding up project development and ensuring accurate integration of products into complex systems. This constant demand reflects customer confidence in the quality and performance of Amphenol Canada products.

We decided to put our components online to increase our global reach and offer enhanced visibility in general searches, making it easier for a wider audience to access our products.

The company is also looking to build on the success of TraceParts Product Explorer, [ed. note: formerly the catalog navigator from Thomas.net], already widely used on its website. TraceParts Product Explorer, or TPPE, offers advanced search and configuration options, helping professionals find products by keyword, individual part numbers, performance characteristics and detailed dimensions. By putting its components online, Amphenol Canada is making it easier for customers to discover its solutions and integrate its products into their projects smoothly and efficiently.

The transition to the TraceParts CAD content platform was a natural step in extending the global reach of its products. Thanks to TraceParts’ reputation for searching CAD models, Amphenol Canada is strengthening access to its solutions for an international audience, while capitalizing on the efficiency of TraceParts Product Explorer.

Research conducted by Amphenol Canada reveals that today’s engineers and design professionals value responsiveness and targeted search results in their selection of electrical and electronic connectors. Rather than consulting manufacturers’ websites directly, they often rely on information from a variety of sources, using general terms corresponding to standard specifications, without necessarily knowing Amphenol Canada’s specific products.

With this in mind, Amphenol Canada set out to match these standard specifications with its own solutions, in order to capture users’ attention and direct them to its website.

By publishing their CAD models on the www.traceparts.com platform, Amphenol Canada is enabling users to discover the company’s product range in greater detail, and to generate interest in its products as part of the global Amphenol brand.
