Amphenol Corp., a maker of electrical connectors for multiple industries, rejected any suggestion that its products caused the solar-equipment fires on store roofs that prompted retail giant Walmart Inc. to sue Tesla Inc.’s energy business.
“We have no reason to believe that Amphenol’s products are the cause of any issues related to the claims filed by Walmart against Tesla,” Wallingford, Connecticut-based Amphenol said in a statement Sunday. “We stand behind the quality of our products, including the H4 solar connector which was manufactured to meet established industry specifications, and certified to meet those specifications by UL, an independent third-party testing service.”
