Recently, we had a chance to catch up with Brian Guidi, an applications engineer at Amphenol Printed Circuits. Brian gave us a brief overview of the company's product mix and capabilities.

Here's a transcript of the video (it has been edited for clarity):

Good afternoon, my name is Brian Guidi. I’m an applications engineer with Amphenol Printed Circuits out of Nashua, N.H., about an hour outside of Boston.

I’ve been with Amphenol since 2012. I’ve been in the industry and the printed-circuit-board industry since 1986. Amphenol, out of southern New Hampshire, manufactures all types of printed circuit boards and printed circuit assemblies, primarily for the military, aerospace, and defense industries.

Our product mix is about 50% rigid boards, and that encompasses backplanes, large form-factor backplanes, daughtercards, and RF rigid boards as well. The other 50% of our product is flex and rigid flex technologies.

So one of the things that makes Amphenol a little bit unique is we have the benefit of a very large corporation that has a variety of different components, connectors and, product types that can fill just about every need in an electronic system. There aren’t any other companies that have a board factory as large as Amphenol, but also have the benefit of a vast array of connectors, sensors, and wire harnessing that Amphenol has [available].

We leverage all those capabilities from all of our divisions around the world, in the military and aerospace organizations, to support our customers and their needs for advanced systems and printed circuit systems as well. Thank you.
