           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     (June 30, 1994, Unaudited)

 1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report and Form 10-K, 
and Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

     The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION    
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter and First Half 1994 Set New Highs in Orders, Sales, and Earnings

SECOND QUARTER 1994

Sales -- $1.004 billion, up 14% from $883 million in second quarter 1993, up 
11% from $906 million in the first quarter of 1994

Earnings Per Share -- 91 cents/share, up 26% from 72 cents in the year-earlier 
quarter and 20% from 76 cents in first quarter 1994

Order Backlog -- Up $53 million during quarter to $625 million compared to $493 
million at year-end 1993 and $559 million a year ago

Employment -- Up 1,000 during quarter to record 28,200

SIX MONTHS

Sales -- $1.91 billion, up 11% from $1.72 billion in first half 1993

Earnings per Share -- $1.67/share, up 18% from $1.41 in first half 1993

Capital Expenditures -- Record $190 million in first half; $375-400 million 
expected for entire year

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As with the first quarter, second quarter results were a little better than 
earlier expected. For the second quarter and first half, sales, margins, and 
profits increased in all regions over the year-earlier periods. We passed a 
historic one billion dollar milestone, with second quarter sales reaching 
$1.004 billion, up 14% over $883 million in the year-earlier quarter and up 
11% over $906 million in the first quarter. An earlier sales milestone was 
reached in 1979 when ANNUAL sales set a new high of $1.013 billion.

The new highs reflect the broadening economic recovery, the leverage in our 
basic terminal and connector business, the introduction of many new products, 
increased market share, and continued diversification into related product 
areas and relatively new geographic markets. We are now reaping the benefits 
of our extensive efforts in recent years to reduce costs, improve productivity 
and service, continue the steady flow of new products, diversify into value-
added assemblies and related components, and expand into newly emerging 
geographic markets on a timely basis.

Compared to the year-earlier period, second quarter sales were up 12% in the 
U.S., and up 16% in both local currencies and in U.S. dollars internationally. 
The weakening of the U.S. dollar from the first quarter to the second quarter 
increased second quarter sales by $17 million. If currency rates were to remain 
constant during the rest of 1994, the effect on international sales would be 
positive when compared to the year-earlier period and to the first half of this 
year.

First half sales in the U.S. were up 11% -- with growth strongest in the 
automotive and communications markets. International sales were up 11% in 
both local currencies and U.S. dollars. European sales were up 12% in local
currencies and 6% in U.S. dollars. Strongest markets were automotive and 
industrial/commercial electronics. Asia/Pacific sales were up 6% in local 
currencies and 14% in U.S. dollars. While Japanese sales were down very 
slightly for the entire six months, good growth was achieved in the second 
quarter over both the year-earlier and prior quarters. Strong, broad-based 
growth continued in the rest of the region. In the Americas (Canada and Latin 
America) sales were up 30%.

The record second quarter earnings of 91 cents/share reflect the effects of 
both good sales gains and improved margins over the year-earlier 
(72 cents/share) and prior quarter (76 cents/share).

OUTLOOK

The outlook continues to improve. Because of the usual summer seasonal effects, 
sales and earnings will probably be slightly lower in the third quarter, and 
then could set new highs in the fourth quarter. AMP is fully participating in 
the broadening economic recovery in North America, Latin America, Europe, and 
Asia/Pacific. Economic recovery is underway in Europe and is just beginning in 
Japan. We expect our sales to grow this year in local currency terms between 
10-15% in the U.S. (up 10% in 1993); about 10% in Europe (up 1% in 1993); 
5-10% in the Asia/Pacific region (up 2% in 1993); and about 20% in the 
Americas (up 15% in 1993). Unless there is a significant change in economic 
conditions or currency rates, second half sales and earnings should be better 
than the record first half results.

We are optimistic about growth prospects for the next few years. We believe we 
are entering a period of sustainable, low-inflation economic growth in most of 
the industrialized world, and continued rapid growth in world trade. The 
electrical/electronic markets we serve should continue to grow two to three 
times the Gross Domestic Product growth rate in most countries. Connectors 
and interconnection assemblies will play an increasingly critical role in the 
performance of electrical and electronic systems. We believe our goals are 
realistic; our strategies sound. Our growth goal is to increase sales better 
than 1 1/2 times the 6-9% annual rate expected for the connector industry 
under favorable economic conditions. Our profitability goals, given a 
reasonably good business environment, are 18-20% pretax margins and 20% 
return on shareholders' equity.

Our strategies include maintaining our leadership in connectors; increasing 
the proportion of our business in total interconnection systems, value-added 
assemblies, and related electrical/electronic components; making more 
acquisitions and strategic alliances; and aggressively expanding into new 
geographic markets.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

New Financial Officer Added

Robert M. Ripp, former Corporate Vice President and Treasurer of IBM, was 
elected Corporate Vice President-Finance. Mr. Ripp, age 53, held various 
operating and financial management positions during his 29 years with IBM. 
He will report to Benjamin Savidge, Executive Vice President and Chief 
Financial Officer.                                                   

EXPANSION

We continue to expand our facilities. In the U.S., construction has started on 
a new 180,000 sq. ft. engineering building in the Harrisburg, PA area; 
operations have begun in a 200,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant in Greensboro, 
NC, to serve the U.S. automotive market, where we are experiencing rapid 
growth, and in a new panel assembly plant in Austin, TX; and facilities are 
being added in North Carolina for greater production capacity in cable and 
cable assemblies. Internationally, construction of a second plant in Korea is 
nearing completion and plans are progressing for additional plants in China 
and India and additional space in Japan. The immediate need for additional 
floor space is being moderated by closer regional management of the deployment 
of manufacturing resources, and by continuing progress toward maximization of 
multi-shift operations in many of our facilities where required and feasible. 
Over two-thirds of the record $375-400 million capital expenditures we expect 
this year will be for machinery, equipment, and systems to not only add 
capacity on many existing products, but also to tool up new products and 
improve quality, productivity, and delivery.

ACQUISITIONS/ALLIANCES

We continue to make acquisitions and alliances to speed our entry into new 
product and market areas and leverage our resources. In the past year we have 
made over a dozen acquisitions and minority equity interest investments. 
During the second quarter we announced four more minority equity position 
investments.

AMP JOINS RECYCLING PARTNERSHIP

AMP is a charter member of  "Waste Wi$e," a voluntary partnership of 280 U.S. 
firms with the EPA aimed at reduction in the generation of solid waste, 
collection of recyclables, and buying of recycled goods. In 1993, AMP's U.S. 
operations recycled 3,500 tons of paper, cardboard, pallets, and skids.

DIVIDEND ACTION

On July 27, 1994 the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend 
of 42 cents/share payable September 1, 1994 to shareholders of record August 8, 
1994. The current rate indicates an annual dividend of $1.68/share for 1994 
compared to $1.60 in 1993, $1.52 in 1992, and $1.44 in 1991 -- the 41st 
consecutive annual increase.
