FCI (Framatome Connectors International) originated as the connector division of the French nuclear conglomerate Framatome, established in 1988 to leverage advanced interconnection technologies. Headquartered originally in Versailles, France, FCI later evolved into an independent global leader in connectors and interconnect systems, now operating as part of Amphenol Corporation since its acquisition in 2016. The company focuses on designing, manufacturing, and supplying high-performance connectors for automotive, industrial, data communications, consumer electronics, and aerospace markets. Its product portfolio includes mezzanine connectors (e.g., BergStak series), backplane connectors (e.g., Metral series), power connectors (e.g., Minitek Power), I/O connectors, and flexible printed circuit connectors. FCI is particularly renowned for its high-speed and high-density connectors used in data centers and telecom infrastructure. Prior to the Amphenol integration, FCI consistently ranked among the top 10 global connector manufacturers. Technological strengths include patented contact designs and robust signal integrity solutions. The company operates manufacturing facilities and R&D centers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. FCI’s Minitek micro-connector series is widely adopted in portable electronics. Through Amphenol, FCI expands its reach into next-generation automotive connectivity and industrial IoT applications. The brand remains a trusted name for reliable and innovative interconnect solutions worldwide.
