            Significant US Federal contracts to the US armed forces

TT electronics plc, a world leader in sensor and electronic component
technology, today announces that it has won new contracts worth $90 million over
the next five years for the supply of interconnection systems to the US armed
forces for use with mobile radio communication equipment.

The new orders have been won by TT electronics' specialist interconnection
systems business which is an established supplier to the defence market and is
already supplying NATO approved equipment to the majority of the NATO armed
forces, including the MoD.

TT electronics' interconnection systems business operates from a global
manufacturing base supplying the defence, aerospace and traction markets. TT
electronics' specialist expertise has been a key factor in winning significant
contracts including the interconnection systems for all the new rolling stock
for the upgrade of the London Underground in preparation for the 2012 Olympic
Games.

The market position of the business has recently been enhanced through the
acquisition of New Chapel Electronics ('NCE') whose complementary operations
will provide greater access to the high margin defence and civil aerospace
sectors.

Neil Rodgers, Chief Executive of TT electronics, commented:

'I am very pleased to be able to announce these new orders won against strong
competition, which demonstrates the strength of our interconnection systems
operations. We have been successful in growing our interconnection systems
revenues in the past three years and have successfully targeted highly
specialist applications where enhanced added value leads to better margins. We
are confident that we will be able to strengthen this position further with the
recent acquisition of NCE which extends our reach into specialist, high margin
aerospace markets.'
