Heilind, GCT agree global distribution pact

Heilind Electronics has signed a global distribution partnership with GCT (Global Connector Technology), a manufacturer of connector and cable assembly solutions.

This collaboration brings together Heilind’s extensive distribution network and industry expertise with GCT’s innovative interconnect products, offering customers an even broader range of high-quality connectivity solutions.

GCT’s product line, known for its reliability and adherence to stringent industry standards, will now be available through Heilind’s distribution channels.

GCT specialises in a variety of interconnect solutions including USB connectors, board to board, SIM card connectors, memory card connectors, FFC connectors and cables, DC power jacks, modular jacks, and custom designs.

Founded in 1988, GCT has been at the forefront of interconnect technology for over three decades. The company has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation, being the first to market with Nano SIM technology in 2015 and more recently developing a market-leading USB Type C connector range that offers mating cycle reliability that is 2x the industry standard.

Richard Clark, GCT Global Distribution Manager, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are delighted to launch our relationship with Heilind Electronics, whose focus, capabilities and long-standing market reputation with all things Interconnect, make this a game-changing addition to our existing distribution channel.”
