In 1941, Aircraft and Marine Products was founded with solderless electrical connections for quick and removable wire connections used for aircraft and ships. After the wartime boom, the company had to adapt to the post-war economy and in 1956 the name was changed to AMP Incorporated when it incorporated. 

In 1999, Tyco International acquired American electronics connector manufacturer AMP Incorporated. In September 2002 the CEO and CFO of Tyco International Ltd. were indicted on charges including fraud, racketeering, stock manipulation, and more, amounting to more than $600 million dollars of theft. 

In July 2007, Tyco separated into three publicly independent companies, Covidien Ltd, Tyco Electronics Ltd, and Tyco International Ltd ). On March 10, 2011, Tyco Electronics Ltd changed its name to TE Connectivity Ltd, which the company said felt more relevant to its position as a connectivity and sensor component manufacturer. On August 28, 2015, TE Connectivity announced that it has completed the sale of its broadband-networks business to CommScope Holding Co. for about US$3 billion.
