The end of an era: PanCon

For many years, we have provided customers a choice of Amphenol or PanCon connectors. PanCon connectors have been the staple of many control systems over the years (Ztronics and Classic come to mind).

Last month, PanCon publicly announced that they would be ceasing operations immediately. They claimed that they would fulfill open orders and that would be the end. They then notified us that they would not be filling our rather large pending order, and afterward their website went dormant and inquiries remained unanswered.

We began trying to find a way to purchase parts to assemble the connectors ourselves. Then we attempted to purchase the injection molds the connectors are made from. We have finally resigned to the simple fact that PanCon is finished and they (for whatever reason) do not want the products to live on.

Future systems will be shipping with Amphenol connectors (only). We have all crimp tools in stock for them, and have a limited supply of PanCon tools for those customers that need them.
