About Amphenol DC Electronics
Amphenol DC Electronics operates from a 70,000-square-foot facility in San Jose, California, with additional manufacturing sites in Nogales, Mexico, and Malaysia. The company was founded in 1979 by David Cianciulli after he left Hughes Aircraft to start a cable sales and distribution business. Within a few years, the operation added engineers and assemblers to produce custom cable and wire harness solutions for technical instrument manufacturers. In 2013, the business was acquired by Amphenol Corporation, becoming a division known as Amphenol DC Electronics (ADCE). ADCE specializes in the design, engineering, and manufacture of custom wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and integrated electronic mechanical devices (box builds). The company handles both high- and low-volume production runs, offering build-to-print services, prototyping, and custom tooling design. The company serves aerospace and military customers (notably supplying Trimble with GPS cables during the first Gulf War), medical device manufacturers (MRI, patient monitoring, surgical robotics), industrial equipment makers (factory automation robots), precision agriculture (GPS and surveying equipment), and RF coaxial applications. Its client base includes defense contractors, medical OEMs, and industrial automation firms. ADCE emphasizes its single-focus expertise in custom cable and wire harness assemblies, which the company says enables engineers to identify design flaws before production. It highlights lean manufacturing practices applied across information and material flows, in-house engineering liaison services, and a culture of continuous improvement as key differentiators.
