You should also read and carefully consider the information in the documents we have referred you to in “Where You Can Find More Information” below. Information incorporated by reference after the date of this prospectus is considered a part of this prospectus and may add, update or change information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Any information in such subsequent filings that is inconsistent with the information in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus will supersede the information in this prospectus or any earlier prospectus supplement.
You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this prospectus, any supplement or any free writing prospectus we file with the SEC. We have not authorized anyone else to provide you with other information. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, any free writing prospectus or any document incorporated herein or therein by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.
Unless otherwise stated, or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to “we,” “us” and “our” are to TE Connectivity and its consolidated subsidiaries, including TEGSA.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, in accordance with these requirements, we file reports and other information relating to our business, financial condition and other matters with the SEC. We are required to disclose in such reports certain information, as of particular dates, concerning our operating results and financial condition, officers and directors, principal holders of shares, any material interests of such persons in transactions with us and other matters. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers like us that file electronically with the SEC. The address of such site is: http://www.sec.gov.
Our Internet website is www.te.com. We make available free of charge on our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, reports filed pursuant to Section 16 and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file or furnish such materials to the SEC.

Other than any documents expressly incorporated by reference, the information on our website and any other website that is referred to in this prospectus is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. Before deciding to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully consider the discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” in TE Connectivity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and under similar headings in TE Connectivity’s subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, as well as the other risks and uncertainties described in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties discussed in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are those we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated in this prospectus that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management at the time such statements were made. Forward-looking statements include, among others, the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements, acquisitions, divestitures, the effects of competition, and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements also include statements addressing our environmental, social, governance, and sustainability plans and goals. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “aspire,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “goal,” “target,” “continue,” “may,” and “should,” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
The risk factors discussed under “Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors” in TE Connectivity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, and under similar headings in TE Connectivity’s subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, as well as the other risks and uncertainties described in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of any registered shares, warrants, debt securities or units that may be offered hereby for general corporate purposes. Such general corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, reducing or refinancing our indebtedness or the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, financing possible acquisitions and redeeming outstanding securities. The prospectus supplement relating to an offering will contain a more detailed description of the use of proceeds of any specific offering of securities.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement a description of the registered shares, warrants, debt securities, guarantees or units that may be offered under this prospectus.

TE Connectivity and TEGSA will provide a specific plan of distribution for any securities to be offered in a supplement to this prospectus.
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
TE Connectivity is a Swiss company, and TEGSA is a Luxembourg company. TE Connectivity and TEGSA have consented in the indenture to be used in connection with the issuance of debt securities to submit to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in The City of New York and to receive service of process in The City of New York in any legal suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce any rights under or with respect to such indenture and any debt securities or guarantees issued under it. A substantial majority of TE Connectivity’s directly held assets consists of shares in TEGSA. Accordingly, any judgment against TEGSA or TE Connectivity in respect of the indenture, the notes or the guarantee, including for civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws, obtained in any U.S. federal or state court may have to be enforced in the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland. Investors should not assume that the courts of Luxembourg or Switzerland would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or that such courts would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against TEGSA or TE Connectivity predicated solely upon such laws.
Luxembourg
TEGSA is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg. Certain members of the board of directors are non-residents of the United States and a substantial portion of TEGSA’s assets and those of such directors are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect a service of process within the United States on TEGSA or on such persons or to enforce in Luxembourg courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in U.S. courts, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal and state securities laws or other laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against TEGSA or such persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.
TEGSA has been advised by Allen & Overy, société en commandite simple, its Luxembourg counsel, that the United States and the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg are not currently bound by a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitral awards) rendered in civil and commercial matters. According to such counsel, an enforceable judgment for the payment of monies rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. securities laws, would not directly be enforceable in Luxembourg. However, a party who received such favorable judgment in a U.S. court may initiate enforcement proceedings in Luxembourg (exequatur) by requesting enforcement of the U.S. judgment before the District Court (Tribunal d’Arrondissement) of Luxembourg sitting in civil matters pursuant to Article 678 of the New Luxembourg Code of Civil Procedure. The president of the District Court will authorize the enforcement in Luxembourg of the U.S. judgment if it is satisfied that all of the following conditions are met:
•
the U.S. judgment is enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States;
•
the jurisdictional ground of the U.S. court is founded according to Luxembourg private international law rules and to the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state jurisdiction rules;
•
the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law which would have been applied by Luxembourg courts or, at least, the judgment must not contravene the principles underlying these rules;
•
the U.S. judgment must not have violated the right of the defendant to present a defense;
•
the considerations of the U.S. judgment as well as the U.S. judgment as such do not contravene Luxembourg international public policy;
•
the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws; and
•
the U.S. judgment was not rendered as a result of or in connection with an evasion of Luxembourg law (“fraude à la loi”).
LEGAL MATTERS
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, New York, New York will pass upon the validity of the debt securities, guarantees, warrants and units offered by TE Connectivity or TEGSA. The validity of the registered shares offered by TE Connectivity will be passed upon by Bär & Karrer AG, Zurich, Switzerland, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of TE Connectivity Ltd. as of September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and for each of the three years in the period ended September 29, 2023, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus by reference to TE Connectivity Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2023, and the effectiveness of TE Connectivity Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
TE Connectivity Ltd.
The articles of association and organizational regulations of TE Connectivity provide as follows:
•
TE Connectivity shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the existing and former directors and officers of TE Connectivity, and their heirs, executors and administrators out of the assets of TE Connectivity from and against all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, proceedings or investigations, whether civil, criminal, administrative or other (including, but not limited to, liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable) which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of (i) any act done or alleged to be done, concurred or alleged to be concurred in or omitted or alleged to be omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or alleged duty, or (ii) serving as director or officer of TE Connectivity, or (iii) serving at the request of TE Connectivity as director, officer, or employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise. This indemnity shall not extend to any matter in which any of said persons is found, in a final judgment or decree of a court, arbitral tribunal or governmental or administrative authority of competent jurisdiction not subject to appeal, to have committed an intentional or grossly negligent breach of said person’s duties as director or officer.
•
Without limiting the foregoing, TE Connectivity shall advance to existing and former directors and officers court costs and attorney fees in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings as described in the preceding paragraph. TE Connectivity may reject and/or recover such advanced costs if a court or governmental or administrative authority of competent jurisdiction
not subject to appeal holds that the director or officer in question has committed an intentional or grossly negligent breach of his statutory duties as a director or officer.
•
TE Connectivity may procure insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of TE Connectivity, or is or was serving at the request of TE Connectivity as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or in a fiduciary or other capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by TE Connectivity, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not TE Connectivity would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of art. 26 (of TE Connectivity’s articles of association). The insurance premiums shall be charged to and paid by TE Connectivity or its subsidiaries.
Tyco Electronics Group S.A.
Under the articles of association of TEGSA, TEGSA may indemnify any director or officer and his or her heirs, executors and administrators against expenses reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which the director or officer may be made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of TEGSA or, at such director’s or officer’s request, of any other corporation of which TEGSA is a shareholder or creditor and from which the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, except in relation to matters as to which the director or officer is finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for gross negligence or misconduct.
In the event of a settlement, indemnification will be provided only in connection with such matters covered by the settlement as to which TEGSA is advised by counsel that the person to be indemnified did not commit a breach of duty. Luxembourg law permits TEGSA to maintain insurance to compensate for any civil liability incurred by a director or officer in his or her official capacity or to indemnify for such loss or liability, and TE Connectivity has policies covering TEGSA’s directors and officers.

The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities in the post-effective amendment at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of TE Connectivity’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) To file an application for the purposes of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
(8) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities and Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to TE Connectivity Ltd.,
a Swiss corporation (“TE Connectivity”), and Tyco Electronics Group S.A., a Luxembourg company (“TEGSA” and,
together with TE Connectivity, the “Registrants”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) of the Registrants’ Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”),
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offer, issuance and
sale from time to time (i) by TE Connectivity of an indeterminate amount of (a) registered shares (the “Registered Shares”);
(b) warrants (the “Warrants”); (c) units (the “TE Connectivity Units”) comprised of Registered Shares,
Warrants or Debt Securities (as defined below); and (d) guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of Debt Securities; and (ii) by
TEGSA of an indeterminate amount of (a) debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) and (b) units comprised of Debt
Securities and Registered Shares or Warrants (the “TEGSA Units” and, together with the TE Connectivity Units, the “Units”).
We refer to the Registered Shares, the Warrants, the Units, the Guarantees and the Debt Securities collectively as the “Securities.”
In so acting, we have examined originals or copies
(certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement
(the “Prospectus”), the Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among TEGSA, as issuer,
TE Connectivity, as guarantor, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the form of Guarantee
of TE Connectivity included in the Indenture and such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates
or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of each of the Registrants, and have made such inquiries
of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals
of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied
upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of each of the Registrants.
Based on and subject to the foregoing and assuming
that (i) each of the Registrants validly exists and has the requisite corporate power and authority to issue the Securities and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Securities, (ii) each trustee for the Debt Securities and warrant agent for
the Warrants, when appointed, will validly exist and have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under the Indenture, the supplemental indenture relating to the Debt Securities and any warrant agreement, as applicable, (iii) any
Securities issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Securities being offered or issued will be duly authorized, created and,
if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion, exercise or exchange, (iv) the Registration Statement and any amendments
thereto (including any post-effective amendments) will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws and no stop order suspending
the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect, in each case, at the time the Securities
are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement, (v) a prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed
with the Commission describing the Securities offered thereby and will at all relevant times comply with all applicable laws, (vi) TE
Connectivity has timely filed all necessary reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are incorporated
by reference into the Registration Statement, (vii) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and any applicable prospectus supplement and (viii) any
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities will have been duly authorized and validly executed
and delivered by the Registrants and the other party or parties thereto, we are of the opinion that:
1.
Debt Securities. Assuming that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Debt Securities (including any Debt Securities
that may be issued as part of Units or otherwise pursuant to the terms of any other Securities) and the terms thereof have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of TEGSA, (ii) the form of the Debt Securities and any supplemental indenture relating
to such Debt Securities has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto substantially in the form so filed, (iii) the
terms of such Debt Securities to be issued under the Indenture and the applicable supplemental indenture have been duly established in
conformity with the Indenture and the applicable supplemental indenture so as not to violate any applicable law, affect the enforceability
of such Debt Securities or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Registrants, and so as
to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Registrants,
(iv) such Debt Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture and delivered against any contemplated
payment therefor and issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement relating
thereto, and in accordance with any underwriting agreement and (v) such Debt Securities and the supplemental indenture relating to
such Debt Securities are governed by New York law, such Debt Securities (including any Debt Securities that may be issued as part of Units
or otherwise pursuant to the terms of any other Securities) will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of TEGSA, enforceable
against TEGSA in accordance with their terms.

Warrants. Assuming that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Warrants (including any Warrants that may be
issued as part of Units or otherwise pursuant to the terms of any other Securities) and the terms thereof have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action on the part of TE Connectivity, (ii) the warrant agreement or warrant agreements relating to such
Warrants have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto substantially in the form so filed, (iii) the terms
of such Warrants have been duly established so as not to violate any applicable law, affect the enforceability of such Warrants or result
in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon TE Connectivity, and so as to comply with any requirement or
restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over TE Connectivity, (iv) such Warrants
or certificates representing such Warrants have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered against any contemplated payment therefor
and issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, and
in accordance with any underwriting agreement and (v) such Warrants and the warrant agreement or warrant agreements relating to such
Warrants are governed by New York law, such Warrants (including any Warrants that may be issued as part of Units or otherwise pursuant
to the terms of any other Securities) will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of TE Connectivity, enforceable against TE
Connectivity in accordance with their terms.
3.
Units. Assuming that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of any Units and the terms thereof have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the applicable Registrant and the securities of any other entities to be included in
the Units, if any, have been duly authorized and issued by such entity, (ii) the unit agreement or unit agreements relating to such
Units have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto substantially in the form so filed, (iii) the terms
of such Units have been duly established so as not to violate any applicable law, affect the enforceability of such Units or result in
a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the applicable Registrant, and so as to comply with any requirement
or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the applicable Registrant, (iv) such
Units have been issued, paid for and delivered against any contemplated payment therefor and issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, and in accordance with any underwriting agreement and (v) such
Units and the unit agreement or unit agreements relating to such Units are governed by New York law, such Units will constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the applicable Registrant, enforceable against the applicable Registrant in accordance with their terms.

thereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of TE Connectivity, (ii) any supplemental indenture
relating to such Debt Securities and such Guarantees has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto substantially
in the form so filed, (iii) the Debt Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture and any
applicable supplemental indenture, (iv) the terms of the Guarantees to be issued under the Indenture and any applicable supplemental
indenture have been duly established in conformity with the Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture so as not to violate
any applicable law, affect the enforceability of such Guarantees or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument
binding upon TE Connectivity, and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory
body having jurisdiction over TE Connectivity, (v) the Guarantees have been duly executed in accordance with the Indenture and any
applicable supplemental indenture and delivered against any contemplated payment therefor and issued and sold as contemplated in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, and in accordance with any underwriting agreement
and (vi) such Guarantees and the supplemental indenture relating to such Guarantees are governed by New York law, such Guarantees
will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of TE Connectivity, enforceable against TE Connectivity in accordance with their
terms.
The opinions expressed above with respect to the
validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Securities are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability,
to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may
be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. The opinions are also subject to the issuance of any
legally required consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of the Commission and any other regulatory authority. The opinions expressed
herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter

Registration Statement on Form S-3
Dear Sir or Madam
We are acting as special Swiss counsel to TE Connectivity
Ltd. (the "Company"). This opinion is being rendered at the request of the Company in connection with the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") that is being filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on the date hereof relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), of registered shares in the Company, each share having a par value of CHF 0.57 (as
such par value may be amended from time to time) (the "Common Shares"), either separately or represented by warrants
as well as units to be issued from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
We have not investigated the laws of any jurisdiction
other than Switzerland, and do not express an opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than Switzerland. We have examined and relied
on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments
as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion, including a certified extract, dated 20 December 2023,
of the Commercial Register of the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland (the "Commercial Register"), and the Company's
articles of association certified to be up-to-date as of 20 December 2023 (the "Articles").
In so doing, we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all the documents
submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We assume
no obligation to advise you of any changes to this opinion that may come to our attention after the date hereof. Further, we assume that
if any new Common Shares will be issued as described in the Registration Statement, they will be issued (i) by way of an ordinary
share capital increase in accordance with articles 650 et. seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations ("CO") and the Articles,
(ii) within the capital band in accordance with articles 653s et seq. CO and the Articles, in particular Article 5, or (iii) out
of conditional share capital in accordance with articles 653 et. seq. CO and the Articles, in particular Article 6. This opinion
speaks as of its date and is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and we assume no obligation to review or update this opinion
if applicable law or the existing facts or circumstances should change.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications
set forth herein, we are of the opinion that each Common Share of the Company, including such shares as are issued upon exercise of a
warrant or upon conversion of units, will be, when issued and delivered on the terms and conditions referred to herein, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to any and all references to our firm in the prospectus contained in, and which is part
of, the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent
is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.
Yours faithfully,

Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Company”) shall be held
in the City of New York within the State of New York within the first four months of the Company’s fiscal year, on such date and
at such time and place as the board of directors of the Company (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) may designate
in the call or in a waiver of notice thereof, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as
may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 1.02. Special
Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Company may be called by the Board of Directors or by the President, and shall
be called by the President or by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%)
of the shares of stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, at such times. If for a period of thirteen months after
the last annual meeting, there is a failure to elect a sufficient number of directors to conduct the business of the Company, the Board
of Directors shall call a special meeting for the election of directors within two weeks after the expiration of such period; otherwise,
holders of record of ten percent (10%) of the shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors may, in writing,
demand the call of a special meeting at the office of the Company for the election of directors, specifying the date and month thereof,
but not less than two nor more than three months from the date of such call. At any such special meeting called on demand of stockholders,
the stockholders attending, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote in an election of directors shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of electing directors, but not for the transaction of any other business.
Section 1.03. Notice
of Meetings. Notice of the time, place and purpose of every meeting of stockholders shall be delivered personally or mailed not less
than 10 nor more than 50 days before the date of such meeting (or any other action) to each stockholder of record entitled to vote, at
his post office address appearing upon the records of the Company or at such other address as shall be furnished in writing by him to
the Secretary of the Company for such purpose. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law or by these By-Laws. Any meeting
may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present in person or by proxy, or if notice is waived in writing,
either before or after the meeting, by those not present.
Section 1.04. Quorum.
The holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of the stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present
in person or by proxy, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Company’s Organization Certificate or by these By-Laws,

shall act as secretary of the meeting, if present.
Section 1.06. Voting.
At each meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Company’s Organization Certificate or these By-Laws,
every holder of record of stock entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of such stock standing
in his name on the records of the Company. Elections of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast thereat and, except
as otherwise provided by statute, the Company’s Organization Certificate or these By-Laws, all other action shall be determined
by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.
At all elections of directors,
the voting shall be by ballot or in such other manner as may be determined by the stockholders present in person or by proxy entitled
to vote at such election.
Section 1.07. Action
by Consent. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Company’s Organization Certificate, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if, prior to such action,
a written consent or consents thereto, setting forth such action, is signed by all the holders of record of shares of the stock of the
Company, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

members of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone or video, or other similar communications
equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute
presence in person at a meeting. Whether or not a quorum shall be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof,
a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time; notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given
to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment, but if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced,
no additional notice shall be required to be given to the directors present at the time of adjournment.
Directors shall hold office
until the next annual election and until their successors shall have been elected and shall have qualified. Director vacancies not exceeding
one-third of the whole number of the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office,
and the directors so elected shall hold office for the balance of the unexpired term.
Any one or more of the directors
of the Company may be removed either with or without cause at any time by a vote of the holders of record of at least a majority of the
shares of stock of the Company, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and thereupon the term of the director or directors who shall
have been so removed shall forthwith terminate and there shall be a vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors, to be filled by a
vote of the stockholders as provided in these By-Laws.
Section 2.05. Meetings,
Notice. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place either within or without the State of New York, as may from

if all directors are present, or if notice is waived in writing, either before or after the meeting, by those not present.

Directors shall also have power, in its discretion, to allow a fixed sum and expenses for attendance at each regular or special meeting

ARTICLE V

to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to the other provisions
of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, the Company shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to
an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal,
including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company served in any capacity at the request of
the Company, by reason of the fact that such person, his or her testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the Company, or served
such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of
such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which such person reasonably
believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s
conduct was unlawful.
Section 5.02. Power
to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to the other provisions of this
Article V, and subject to applicable law, the Company shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an
action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person, his or her
testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with
an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the
case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not
opposed to, the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification under this Section 5.02 shall be made in respect
of (a) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (b) any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in
which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that,
in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the
settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 5.03. Authorization
of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only
if authorized in the specific case (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such
action or proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or
Section 5.02, as the case may be; or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper
in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may
be, has been met by such director or officer; or (y) by the stockholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be. A person who has been
successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described in
Sections 5.01 or 5.02, shall be entitled to indemnification as authorized in such section.
Section 5.04. Good
Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 5.03, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or to have had no reasonable
cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of
the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the
course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or
reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected
with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive
or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01
or Section 5.02, as the case may be.
Section 5.05. Serving
an Employee Benefit Plan on behalf of the Company. For the purpose of this Article V, the Company shall be deemed to have requested
a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or
otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person
with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person
with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to
be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best
interests of the Company.
Section 5.06. Indemnification
upon Application to a Court. Notwithstanding the failure of the Company to provide indemnification and despite any contrary resolution
of the Board or stockholders under Section 5.03, or in the event that no determination has been made within ninety days after receipt
of the Company of a written claim therefor, upon application to a court by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by
a court to the extent authorized in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02. Such application shall be upon notice to the Company. Neither
a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.03 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense
to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard
of conduct.
Section 5.07. Expenses
Payable in Advance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, expenses incurred in defending
a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount (i) if it shall ultimately be determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article V, (ii) where indemnification
is granted, to the extent expenses so advanced by the Company or allowed by a court exceed the indemnification to which such person is
entitled and (iii) upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. Any such advancement of expenses
shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination made, with
respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting
of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding, or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel or (y) by
the stockholders and, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter
on behalf of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to revoke
at any time any approval previously granted in respect of any such request for the advancement of expenses or to, in its sole and absolute
discretion, impose limits or conditions in respect of any such approval.
Section 5.08. Nonexclusivity
of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses granted pursuant to, or provided by,
this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement
of expenses may be entitled whether contained in the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws or, when authorized by the
Organization Certificate or these By-Laws, (i) a resolution of stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an
agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer
if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or
were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained
in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Nothing contained in this Article V shall affect
any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise
under law.
Section 5.09. Insurance.
Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance (in a single contract or supplement
thereto, but not in a retrospective rated contract): (i) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result
of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this Article V, (ii) to indemnify directors and officers
in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V and applicable law, and (iii) to
indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this
Article V, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York
Superintendent of Financial Services, for a retention amount and for co-insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such insurance shall
be subject to the provisions of, and the Company shall comply with the requirements set forth in, Section 7023 of the New York State
Banking Law.
Section 5.10. Limitations
on Indemnification and Insurance. All indemnification and insurance provisions contained in this Article V are subject to any
limitations and prohibitions under applicable law, including but not limited to Section 7022 (with respect to indemnification, advancement
or allowance) and Section 7023 (with respect to insurance) of the New York State Banking Law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
(with respect to administrative proceedings or civil actions initiated by any federal banking agency). Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Article V to the contrary, no indemnification, advancement or allowance shall be made (i) to or on behalf of any director
or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally
gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or (ii) in any circumstance where it appears
(a) that the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws,
a resolution of the Board or of the stockholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in effect at the time of the accrual
of the alleged cause of action asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other
amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) if there has been a settlement approved by the court,
that the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving
the settlement.
Notwithstanding anything contained
in this Article V to the contrary, but subject to any requirements of applicable law, (i) except for proceedings to enforce
rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5.06), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director
or officer (or his testators intestate) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person
unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) with respect
to indemnification or advancement of expenses relating to attorneys’ fees under this Article V, counsel for the present or
former director or officer must be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish
a panel of approved law firms for such purpose, out of which the present or former director or officer could be required to select an
approved law firm to represent him), (iii) indemnification in respect of amounts paid in settlement shall be subject to the prior
consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) any and all obligations of the Corporation under this Article V
shall be subject to applicable law, (v) in no event shall any payments pursuant to this Article V be made if duplicative of
any indemnification or advancement of expenses or other reimbursement available to the applicable director or officer (other than for
coverage maintained by such person in his individual capacity), and (vi) no indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be provided
under these By-Laws to any person in respect of any expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to the extent incurred by
such person in his capacity or position with another entity (including, without limitation, an entity that is a stockholder of the Company
or any of the branches or affiliates of such stockholder), except as expressly provided in these By-Laws in respect of such person’s
capacity and position as a director or officer of the Company or such person is a director or officer of the Company serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Section 5.11. Indemnification
of Other Persons. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification
and to the advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to an adoption of a policy or otherwise) to employees and agents of the Company (whether
similar to those conferred in this Article V upon directors and officers of the Company or on other terms and conditions authorized
from time to time by the Board of Directors), as well as to employees of direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and to other
persons (or categories of persons) approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 5.12. Repeal.

or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Company, whether because of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification,
removal or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Company, such certificate or certificates

when any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to receive any distribution
or allotment of such rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, and in
such case only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote
at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such distribution or allotment or rights or to exercise such rights,
as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Company after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.
Section 6.04. Lost
Certificates. In the event that any certificate of stock is lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Board of Directors may authorize
the issuance of a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares in lieu thereof. The Board may in its discretion,
before the issuance of such new certificate, require the owner of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or the legal representative
of the owner to make an affidavit or affirmation setting forth such facts as to the loss, destruction or mutilation as it deems necessary
and to give the Company a bond in such reasonable sum as it directs to indemnify the Company.

estimates include the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data in the required form, and completing the information collection, but exclude the time for compiling and maintaining business records in the normal course of a respondent’s activities. A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an organization (or a person) is not required to respond to
a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for reducing this burden
should be directed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503, and to one of the following: Secretary, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th and C Streets, NW, Washington, DC 20551; Legislative and Regulatory Analysis Division, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, DC
