Elco (or Edac)

EDAC has been around since 1966, making connectors, pins and connectivity tools for applications ranging from Audio/Video to Aircraft and Military. In the 1960's and very early 1970's Elco and EDAC were one in the same, and were different manufacturing locations. Do you have an older, high channel count patchbay or a large format console? You probably have EDAC connectors. We distribute multi-pin EDAC cables that can be made with any connector configuration to suit your specific needs. Do you have a vintage multi-track recorder with a one-off custom pinout EDAC connection? We got you! Our EDAC cables are all crimped and pinned by hand, using original EDAC-branded components.
