Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of TE Connectivity Ltd. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Description of the Business TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") is a global technology leader. We design and manufacture connectivity and sensor solutions that are essential in today's increasingly connected world. We help our customers solve the need for intelligent, efficient, and high-performing products and solutions. We operate through three reportable segments: • Transportation Solutions . The Transportation Solutions segment is a leader in connectivity and sensor technologies. Our products, which must withstand harsh conditions, are used in the automotive, commercial transportation, and sensors markets. • Industrial Solutions . The Industrial Solutions segment is a leading supplier of products that connect and distribute power, data, and signals. Our products are used in the industrial equipment; aerospace, defense, oil, and gas; and energy markets. • Communications Solutions . The Communications Solutions segment is a leading supplier of electronic components for the data and devices and appliances markets. We are also a leader in developing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining some of the world's most advanced subsea fiber optic communications systems. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring and other charges, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows and discount rates associated with asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, net realizable value of inventories, estimated contract revenue and related costs, legal contingencies, tax reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and the determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension benefit cost. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Fiscal Year We have a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday of September. For fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, the fourth quarter reporting period includes 14 weeks. Fiscal 2016 was a 53 week year and ended on September 30, 2016. Fiscal 2015 and 2014 were 52 weeks in length and ended on September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, respectively. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation We consolidate entities in which we own or control more than 50% of the voting shares or otherwise have the ability to control through similar rights. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included on the Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Revenue Recognition Our revenues are generated principally from the sale of our products. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized at the time title and the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. This generally occurs when the products reach the shipping point, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Contract revenues for construction related projects, which are generated in the Communications Solutions segment, are recorded primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related cost to complete. Percentage-of-completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. In addition, provisions for credit losses related to construction related projects are recorded as reductions of revenue in the period in which they first become determinable. We generally warrant that our products will conform to our, or mutually agreed to, specifications and that our products will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a limited time. We limit our warranty to the replacement or repair of defective parts, or a refund or credit of the price of the defective product. We accept returned goods only when the customer makes a verified claim and we have authorized the return. Generally, a reserve for estimated returns is established at the time of sale based on historical return experience and is recorded as a reduction of sales. Additionally, certain of our long-term contracts in the Communications Solutions segment have warranty obligations. Estimated warranty costs for each contract are determined based on the contract terms and technology-specific considerations. These costs are included in total estimated contract costs and are accrued over the construction period of the respective contracts under percentage-of-completion accounting. We provide certain distributors with an inventory allowance for returns or scrap equal to a percentage of qualified purchases. A reserve for estimated returns and scrap allowances is established at the time of the sale, based on an agreed upon fixed percentage of sales to distributors, and is recorded as a reduction of sales. Other allowances include customer quantity and price discrepancies. A reserve for other allowances is generally established at the time of sale based on historical experience and is recorded as a reduction of sales. We believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate the amounts of future allowances. Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out cost method, except for inventoried costs incurred in the performance of long-term contracts primarily by the Communications Solutions segment. Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 10 to 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 1 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. We periodically evaluate, when events and circumstances warrant, the net realizable value of property, plant, and equipment and other long-lived assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the carrying values of the asset group are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying asset group. Impairment of the carrying value is recognized whenever anticipated future undiscounted cash flow estimates are less than the carrying value of the asset. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets include both indeterminable-lived residual goodwill and determinable-lived identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets with a determinable life primarily include intellectual property, consisting of patents, trademarks, and unpatented technology, as well as customer relationships. Recoverability estimates range from 1 to 50 years and costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis. An evaluation of the remaining useful life of determinable-lived intangible assets is performed on a periodic basis and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation. At fiscal year end 2016, we had six reporting units, five of which contained goodwill. There were two reporting units in each of our three segments. When changes occur in the composition of one or more reporting units, goodwill is reassigned to the reporting units affected based on their relative fair values. Goodwill impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year or whenever we believe a triggering event requiring a more frequent assessment has occurred. In assessing the existence of a triggering event, management relies on a number of reporting unit-specific factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions, and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying these factors to the impairment analysis. When testing for goodwill impairment, we perform a step I goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired and a step II goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. In the step II goodwill impairment test, we compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner consistent with how goodwill is recognized in a business combination. We allocate the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Fair value estimates used in the step I goodwill impairment tests are calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. The income approach generally has been supported by guideline analyses (a market approach). These approaches incorporate a number of assumptions including future growth rates, discount rates, income tax rates, and market activity in assessing fair value and are reporting unit specific. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in goodwill impairments in future periods. Research and Development Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in research, development, and engineering expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development expenses include salaries, direct costs incurred, and building and overhead expenses. The amounts expensed in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $566 million, $540 million, and $484 million, respectively. Income Taxes Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes . Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The calculation of our tax liabilities includes estimates for uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations across multiple global jurisdictions where we conduct our operations. Under the uncertain tax position provisions of ASC 740, we recognize liabilities for tax and related interest for issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes and related interest will be due. These tax liabilities and related interest are reflected net of the impact of related tax loss carryforwards, as such tax loss carryforwards will be applied against these tax liabilities and will reduce the amount of cash tax payments due upon the eventual settlement with the tax authorities. These estimates may change due to changing facts and circumstances. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a settlement that differs from our current estimate of the tax liabilities and related interest. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. We account for derivative financial instrument contracts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For instruments not designated as hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the changes in the instruments' fair value are recognized currently in earnings. For instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge, including amounts excluded from the hedging relationship, are recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair value of instruments designated as fair value hedges affect the carrying value of the asset or liability hedged, with changes in both the derivative instrument and the hedged asset or liability being recognized currently in earnings. We determine the fair value of our financial instruments by using methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. Standard market conventions are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives. The cash flows related to derivative financial instruments are reported in the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks. Concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated, however, by our use of financial institutions worldwide, substantially all of which have long-term Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch credit ratings of A/A2 or higher. In addition, we utilize only conventional derivative financial instruments. We are exposed to potential losses if a counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of its agreement. With respect to counterparty net asset positions recognized at fiscal year end 2016, we have assessed the likelihood of counterparty default as remote. We currently provide guarantees from a wholly-owned subsidiary to the counterparties to our commodity swap derivatives and exchange cash collateral with the counterparties to our cross-currency swap contracts. The likelihood of performance on the guarantees has been assessed as remote. For all other derivative financial instruments, we are not required to provide, nor do we require counterparties to provide, collateral or other security. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observable inputs utilized in valuation of certain assets and liabilities. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy: • Level 1 . Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2 . Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 . Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flows methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are generally valued using level 2 inputs. Financial instruments other than derivative instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. These instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, we believe book value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 11 for disclosure of the fair value of debt. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the respective financial instruments: • Cash and cash equivalents . Cash and cash equivalents are valued at book value, which we consider to be equivalent to unadjusted quoted prices (level 1). • Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are valued based on the net value expected to be realized. The net realizable value generally represents an observable contractual agreement (level 2). • Accounts payable. Accounts payable are valued based on the net value expected to be paid, generally supported by an observable contractual agreement (level 2). • Debt . The fair value of debt, including both current and non-current maturities, is derived from quoted market prices or other pricing determinations based on the results of market approach valuation models using observable market data such as recently reported trades, bid and offer information, and benchmark securities (level 2). Pension The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date. The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits projected to be paid upon retirement factoring in estimated future compensation levels. The fair value of plan assets represents the current market value of cumulative company and participant contributions made to irrevocable trust funds, held for the sole benefit of participants, which are invested by the trustee of the funds. The benefits under our defined benefit pension plans are based on various factors, such as years of service and compensation. Net periodic pension benefit cost is based on the utilization of the projected unit credit method of calculation and is charged to earnings on a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current participants. The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost is based on estimates and assumptions determined by our management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age, and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, interest crediting rates, and mortality rates. Share-Based Compensation We determine the fair value of share awards on the date of grant. Share options are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model; restricted share awards and performance awards are valued using our end-of-day share price on the date of grant. The fair value is expensed ratably over the expected service period, with an allowance made for estimated forfeitures based on historical employee activity. Estimates regarding the attainment of performance criteria are reviewed periodically; the cumulative impact of a change in estimate regarding the attainment of performance criteria is recorded in the period in which that change is made. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation arrangements. Currency Translation For our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which are included in earnings, were immaterial in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014. Restructuring Charges Restructuring activities involve employee-related termination costs, facility exit costs, and asset impairments resulting from reductions-in-force, migration of facilities or product lines from higher-cost to lower-cost countries, or consolidation of facilities within countries. We recognize termination costs based on requirements established by severance policy, government law, or previous actions. Facility exit costs generally reflect the cost to terminate a facility lease before the end of its term (measured at fair value at the time we cease using the facility) or costs that will continue to be incurred under the facility lease without future economic benefit to us. Restructuring activities often result in the disposal or abandonment of assets that require an acceleration of depreciation or impairment reflecting the excess of the assets' carrying values over fair value. The recognition of restructuring costs require that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent our actual results differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimated liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring costs or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure these balances are properly stated and the utilization of the reserves are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans. Acquisitions We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values, or as required by ASC 805, Business Combinations . The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. We may engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Contingent Liabilities We record a loss contingency when the available information indicates it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. When a range of possible losses with equal likelihood exists, we record the low end of the range. The likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict, and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on information available. In addition, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must continuously be evaluated to determine whether a loss is probable and a reasonable estimate of that loss can be made. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, or when a loss is at least reasonably possible, disclosure is provided. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , to simplify various aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. This update is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018; however, we expect to early adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We expect the impact of adoption of the provision addressing accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies will increase noncurrent deferred tax assets and retained earnings by approximately $170 million. Adoption of the remaining provisions of the update will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases , requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for most leases. This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective transition approach which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our financial position. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance supersedes ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , and introduces a single, comprehensive, five-step revenue recognition model. ASC 606 also enhances disclosures related to revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASC 606 by one year. ASC 606 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach at adoption. We are continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASC 606, but do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the FASB issued an update to ASC 740 requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. We elected to early adopt this update on a prospective basis during fiscal 2016. Prior period amounts were not retrospectively adjusted. In April 2015, the FASB issued an update to ASC 835, Interest, requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We elected to early adopt this update during fiscal 2016. The update was applied on a retrospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Fiscal 2016 Actions During fiscal 2016, we initiated a restructuring program associated with headcount reductions impacting all segments and product line closures in the Communications Solutions segment. In connection with this program, during fiscal 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $130 million. We expect to complete all restructuring actions commenced during fiscal 2016 by the end of fiscal 2019 and to incur total charges of approximately $171 million with remaining charges related primarily to employee severance.

We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2015. Fiscal 2014 Actions During fiscal 2014, we initiated a restructuring program associated primarily with headcount reductions and manufacturing site and product line closures in the Communications Solutions segment. In connection with this program, we recorded net restructuring charges of $19 million in fiscal 2014. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to restructuring programs commenced in fiscal 2014. Pre-Fiscal 2014 Actions During fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, we recorded net restructuring credits of $4 million, charges of $1 million, and charges of $4 million, respectively, related to pre-fiscal 2014 actions. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to pre-fiscal 2014 actions.

Other Charges (Credits), Net During fiscal 2016, we incurred costs of $21 million, associated primarily with the divestiture of certain businesses. During fiscal 2015, in connection with the sale our Broadband Network Solutions ("BNS") business, we incurred costs of $61 million, consisting primarily of $36 million of legal and professional fees and $18 million of charges associated with the exit of a facility.

In the U.S., income taxes associated with the gain on the sale of assets were largely offset by income tax benefits realized on the sale of several subsidiaries. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, the sale was exempt from income taxes. During fiscal 2016, we recognized an additional pre-tax gain of $29 million on the divestiture, related primarily to pension and net working capital adjustments. In fiscal 2006, the former shareholders of Com-Net initiated a lawsuit related to our fiscal 2001 acquisition of Com-Net. In October 2015, the Court of Common Pleas in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania entered final judgment in favor of the sellers and against us for $127 million plus costs. In July 2016, we entered into settlement agreements with the sellers pursuant to which we agreed to pay the sellers an aggregate amount of $96 million, payment of which was made in fiscal 2016, settling all matters in dispute. In connection with the Com-Net case, we recorded a reserve and pre-tax charges of $127 million during fiscal 2015. During fiscal 2016, in connection with the settlements, we recorded pre-tax credits of $30 million, representing a release of excess reserves. These amounts are reflected in income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the Com-Net case was associated with our former Wireless Systems business which was sold in 2009. The BNS and Wireless Systems businesses met the discontinued operations criteria and were reported as such in all periods presented on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to reclassification to discontinued operations, the BNS and Wireless Systems businesses were included in the former Network Solutions and Wireless Systems segments, respectively. |

Acquisitions | |
Acquisitions | 5. Acquisitions Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions During fiscal 2016, we acquired four businesses, including the Creganna Medical group, for a combined cash purchase price of $1.3 billion, net of cash acquired. The acquisitions have been reported as part of our Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments from the date of acquisition. We have preliminarily allocated the purchase price of acquired businesses to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We are in the process of completing the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, fixed assets, pre-acquisition contingencies, and income taxes. Accordingly, the fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the valuations. The amount of these potential adjustments could be significant. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation for these acquisitions during fiscal 2017. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting: (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ Other current assets Goodwill Intangible assets Other non-current assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets acquired ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Current liabilities Deferred income taxes Other non-current liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities assumed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents acquired ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net cash paid $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The fair values assigned to intangible assets were preliminarily determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earnings methods. Both valuation methods rely on management judgment, including expected future cash flows resulting from existing customer relationships, customer attrition rates, contributory effects of other assets utilized in the business, peer group cost of capital and royalty rates, and other factors. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Acquired intangible assets consisted of the following: Amount Weighted-Average (in millions) (in years) Customer relationships $ Developed technology Trade names and trademarks Customer order backlog ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Goodwill of $836 million was recognized in these transactions, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This goodwill is attributable primarily to cost savings and other synergies related to operational efficiencies including the consolidation of manufacturing, marketing, and general and administrative functions. The goodwill has been allocated to the Industrial Solutions and Transportation Solutions segments and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, prior to being acquired by us, one of the fiscal 2016 acquisitions completed certain acquisitions that resulted in goodwill with an estimated value of $15 million that is deductible primarily for U.S. tax purposes, which we will deduct through 2025. Fiscal 2016 acquisitions contributed net sales of $167 million and operating income of $8 million to our Consolidated Statement of Operations during fiscal 2016. The operating income included $10 million of acquisition costs, $7 million associated with the amortization of acquisition-related fair value adjustments related to acquired inventories and customer order backlog, and $2 million of integration costs. Fiscal 2015 Acquisitions In October 2014, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Measurement Specialties, Inc. ("Measurement Specialties"), a leading global designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based systems, for $86.00 in cash per share. The total value paid was approximately $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired, and included $225 million for the repayment of Measurement Specialties' debt and accrued interest. Measurement Specialties offers a broad portfolio of technologies including pressure, vibration, force, temperature, humidity, ultrasonic, position, and fluid sensors, for a wide range of applications and industries. This business has been reported as part of our Transportation Solutions segment from the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting: (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ Accounts receivable Inventories Other current assets Property, plant, and equipment Goodwill Intangible assets Other non-current assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets acquired ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Short-term debt Accounts payable Other current liabilities Long-term debt Deferred income taxes Other non-current liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities assumed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents acquired ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net cash paid $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earnings methods. The valuation of tangible assets was derived using a combination of the income, market, and cost approaches. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Acquired intangible assets consisted of the following: Amount Weighted-Average (in millions) (in years) Customer relationships $ Developed technology Trade names and trademarks Customer order backlog < 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Goodwill of $1,064 million was recognized in the transaction, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This goodwill is attributable primarily to cost savings and other synergies related to operational efficiencies including the consolidation of manufacturing, marketing, and general and administrative functions. The goodwill has been allocated to the Transportation Solutions segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, prior to its merger with us, Measurement Specialties completed certain acquisitions that resulted in goodwill with an estimated value of $23 million that is deductible primarily for U.S. tax purposes, which we will deduct through 2030. During fiscal 2015, Measurement Specialties contributed net sales of $548 million to our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Due to the commingled nature of our operations, it is not practicable to separately identify operating income of Measurement Specialties on a stand-alone basis. During fiscal 2015, we acquired three additional businesses for $241 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions During fiscal 2014, we acquired five businesses, including the SEACON Group ("SEACON"), a leading provider of underwater connector technology and systems, for $522 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects our consolidated results of operations had the fiscal 2016 acquisitions occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2015 and the Measurement Specialties acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2014: Pro Forma for Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 (in millions, except per share data) Net sales $ $ $ Net income Diluted earnings per share $ $ The pro forma financial information for the fiscal 2016 acquisitions was based on our preliminary allocation of the purchase price and therefore is subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. The pro forma adjustments, which were not significant, included interest expense based on pro forma changes in our combined capital structure, charges related to acquired customer order backlog, charges related to the amortization of the fair value of acquired intangible assets, charges related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories, and acquisition and other costs, and the related tax effects. Pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of these acquisitions. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the preceding fiscal years. |

Debt Debt was as follows: Fiscal Year End 2016 2015 (in millions) Commercial paper, at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.69% at fiscal year end 2016 $ $ — Senior floating rate notes due 2016 (1) — 6.55% senior notes due 2017 2.375% senior notes due 2018 2.35% senior notes due 2019 4.875% senior notes due 2021 3.50% senior notes due 2022 1.100% euro-denominated senior notes due 2023 3.45% senior notes due 2024 3.700% senior notes due 2026 — 7.125% senior notes due 2037 Other — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total principal debt Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs ) ) Effects of fair value hedge-designated interest rate swaps ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total debt $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) The senior floating rate notes due 2016 bore interest at a rate of three-month London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.20% per year. During January 2016, Tyco Electronics Group S.A. ("TEGSA"), our 100%-owned subsidiary, issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% senior notes due February 15, 2026. The notes are TEGSA's unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and any future senior indebtedness of TEGSA and senior to any subordinated indebtedness that TEGSA may incur. TEGSA has a five-year unsecured senior revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") with total commitments of $1,500 million. The Credit Facility was amended in December 2015 primarily to extend the maturity date from August 2018 to December 2020. TEGSA had no borrowings under the Credit Facility at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TEGSA, (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of TEGSA, or (2) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) Bank of America, N.A.'s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1 / 2 of 1%, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based upon the senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating of TEGSA. TEGSA is required to pay an annual facility fee ranging from 5.0 to 12.5 basis points based upon the amount of the lenders' commitments under the Credit Facility and the applicable credit ratings of TEGSA. The Credit Facility contains a financial ratio covenant providing that if, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the then most recently concluded period of four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeds 3.75 to 1.0, an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) is triggered. The Credit Facility and our other debt agreements contain other customary covenants. Periodically, TEGSA issues commercial paper to U.S. institutional accredited investors and qualified institutional buyers in accordance with available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 as part of our ongoing effort to maintain financial flexibility and to potentially decrease the cost of borrowings. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are backed by the Credit Facility. TEGSA's payment obligations under its senior notes, commercial paper, and Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, TE Connectivity Ltd. Principal payments required for debt are as follows: (in millions) Fiscal 2017 $ Fiscal 2018 Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2020 Fiscal 2021 Thereafter ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The fair value of our debt, based on indicative valuations, was approximately $4,424 million and $4,115 million at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, environmental matters, antitrust claims, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters such as value added tax, sales and use tax, real estate tax, and transfer tax. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, based upon our experience, current information, and applicable law, we do not expect that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Income Tax Matters Tax Sharing Agreement In fiscal 2007, we became an independent, publicly traded company owning the former electronics businesses of Tyco International plc ("Tyco International"). On June 29, 2007, Tyco International distributed all of our shares, as well as its shares of its former healthcare businesses ("Covidien"), to its common shareholders (the "separation"). As a result of subsequent transactions, Tyco International and Covidien now operate as part of Johnson Controls International plc and Medtronic plc, respectively. Upon separation, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, under which we shared responsibility for certain of our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's income tax liabilities based on a sharing formula for periods prior to and including June 29, 2007. We, Tyco International, and Covidien shared 31%, 27%, and 42%, respectively, of U.S. income tax liabilities that arose from adjustments made by tax authorities to our, Tyco International's, and Covidien's U.S. income tax returns. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, we entered into certain guarantee commitments and indemnifications with Tyco International and Covidien. 1997-2000 Audit Years In October 2012, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued special agreement Forms 870-AD, effectively settling its audit of all tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000, excluding one issue involving the tax treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. The IRS field examination asserted that certain intercompany loans originated during the years 1997 through 2000 did not constitute debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and disallowed approximately $2.7 billion of related interest deductions recognized during the period on Tyco International's U.S. income tax returns. In addition, if the IRS were ultimately successful in asserting its claim, it likely would have disallowed an additional $6.6 billion of interest deductions reflected on U.S. income tax returns in years subsequent to fiscal 2000. Tyco International disagreed with the IRS position and filed petitions in the U.S. Tax Court contesting the IRS's proposed adjustments. In January 2016, Tyco International entered into Stipulations of Settled Issues (the "Stipulations") with the IRS intended to resolve all disputes related to the intercompany debt matter discussed above. The Stipulations were contingent upon the Appeals Division of the IRS applying the same settlement or framework to all intercompany debt issues on appeal for subsequent audit cycles (years 2001 through 2007). During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we made a pre-payment to the IRS of $443 million, for deficiencies for which we are the primary obligor, to stop the accretion of deficiency interest. Concurrent with remitting this payment, we were reimbursed $305 million by Tyco International and Covidien pursuant to their indemnifications for pre-separation tax matters. In addition, we paid $2 million to Covidien for our share of deficiencies for which Covidien was the primary obligor. As a result, our net cash payment in connection with the disputed debt matter was $140 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. In May 2016, the U.S. Tax Court entered orders consistent with the Stipulations and dismissed the petitions as settled and the Appeals Division of the IRS issued special agreement Forms 870-AD that effectively settled the matters on appeal on the same terms as those set forth in the Stipulations. As a result, we have resolved all aspects of the disputed debt matter before the U.S. Tax Court (for the 1997 through 2000 audit cycle) and before the Appeals Division of the IRS for subsequent audit cycles (2001 through 2007). In addition, we expect the terms of the resolution for the disputed debt matter will be consistently applied by the IRS to all of our U.S. income tax returns filed subsequent to fiscal 2007. As a result of these developments, in fiscal 2016, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1,135 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves, and other expense of $604 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. The U.S. tax loss and credit carryforwards finalized as a result of the settlement of the disputed debt matter were assessed for realizability in fiscal 2016 and included in our valuation allowance analysis. See Note 15 for further information regarding the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. 2001-2007 Audit Years In fiscal 2015, the IRS issued general agreement Forms 870, effectively settling its audits of tax matters for the years 2001 through 2007, excluding the disputed debt matter which was subsequently resolved during fiscal 2016. As a result of these developments, in fiscal 2015, we recognized an income tax benefit of $201 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled, and other expense of $84 million, representing a reduction of associated indemnification receivables, pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. 2008-2010 Audit Years In fiscal 2015, the IRS issued general agreement Forms 870, effectively settling its audits of tax matters for the years 2008 through 2010, excluding the disputed debt matter. As discussed above, we expect the terms of the resolution for the disputed debt matter will be consistently applied by the IRS to all of our U.S. income tax returns filed subsequent to fiscal 2007. As a result of these developments, in fiscal 2015, we recognized an income tax benefit of $63 million, representing a reduction in tax reserves for the matters that were effectively settled. Environmental Matters We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods. As of fiscal year end 2016, we concluded that it was probable that we would incur remedial costs in the range of $17 million to $42 million, and that the best estimate within this range was $20 million. We believe that any potential payment of such estimated amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. Leases We have facility, land, vehicle, and equipment leases that expire at various dates. Rental expense under these leases was $143 million, $141 million, and $130 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. At fiscal year end 2016, the minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable lease obligations were as follows: (in millions) Fiscal 2017 $ Fiscal 2018 Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2020 Fiscal 2021 Thereafter ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Guarantees In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and/or indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability for investigation and remediation of environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not expect that these uncertainties will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. At fiscal year end 2016, we had outstanding letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety bonds of $324 million. In the normal course of business, we are liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We generally record estimated product warranty costs when contract revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for construction related contracts; other warranty reserves are not significant. The estimation is based primarily on historical experience and actual warranty claims. Amounts accrued for warranty claims at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015 were $48 million and $35 million, respectively. |

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | |
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | 13. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements We use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to foreign currency, interest rate, investment, and commodity risks. The effects of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations were immaterial for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014. Foreign Exchange Risks and Hedges of Net Investment As part of managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we utilize cross-currency swap contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign currency swap contracts, a portion of which are designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany and other cash transactions. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the cash flow hedge-designated instruments addressing foreign exchange risks will be reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. During fiscal 2015, we entered into cross-currency swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of €1,000 million to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk associated with certain intercompany loans. Under the terms of these contracts, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, we make quarterly interest payments in euros at 3.50% per annum and receive interest in U.S. dollars at a weighted-average rate of 5.33% per annum. Upon the maturities of these contracts in fiscal 2022, we will pay the principal amount of the loans in euros and receive U.S. dollars from our counterparties. We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations using intercompany non-derivative financial instruments denominated in the same currencies. The aggregate notional value of these hedges was $3,480 million and $3,880 million at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively. Foreign exchange losses of $45 million and foreign exchange gains of $353 million and $156 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, were recorded as currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), offsetting foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to the translation of the net investment. See Note 19 for additional information. Interest Rate and Investment Risk Management We issue debt, as needed, to fund our operations and capital requirements. Such borrowings can result in interest rate exposure. To manage the interest rate exposure, we use interest rate swaps to convert a portion of fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. We use forward starting interest rate swaps and options to enter into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. We also utilize investment swaps to manage earnings exposure on certain nonqualified deferred compensation liabilities. Commodity Hedges As part of managing the exposure to certain commodity price fluctuations, we utilize commodity swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of these contracts is to minimize impacts to cash flows and profitability due to changes in prices of commodities used in production. At fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, our commodity hedges had notional values of $232 million and $260 million, respectively. We expect that significantly all of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the commodity hedges will be reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the next twelve months. Fair Value Measurements Financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, which consist of derivative instruments and marketable securities, were immaterial at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015. |

Retirement Plans Defined Benefit Pension Plans We have a number of contributory and noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans covering certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. employees, designed in accordance with local customs and practice. The net periodic pension benefit cost for all U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Fiscal Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 2016 2015 2014 ($ in millions) Service cost $ $ $ $ $ $ Interest cost Expected return on plan assets ) ) ) ) ) ) Amortization of net actuarial loss Other — — — ) ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net periodic pension benefit cost $ $ $ $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net pension benefit cost during the fiscal year: Discount rate % % % % % % Expected return on plan assets % % % % % % Rate of compensation increase — % — % — % % % % The following table represents the changes in benefit obligation and plan assets and the net amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Fiscal Fiscal 2016 2015 2016 2015 ($ in millions) Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of fiscal year $ $ $ $ Service cost Interest cost Actuarial loss Benefits and administrative expenses paid ) ) ) ) Currency translation — — ) ) Other — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Benefit obligation at end of fiscal year ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of fiscal year Actual return on plan assets ) Employer contributions Benefits and administrative expenses paid ) ) ) ) Currency translation — — ) ) Other — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair value of plan assets at end of fiscal year ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Funded status $ ) $ ) $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Accrued and other current liabilities $ ) $ ) $ ) $ ) Long-term pension and postretirement liabilities ) ) ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net amount recognized $ ) $ ) $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligation at fiscal year end: Discount rate % % % % Rate of compensation increase — % — % % % The pre-tax amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Fiscal Fiscal 2016 2015 2016 2015 (in millions) Change in net loss: Unrecognized net loss at beginning of fiscal year $ $ $ $ Current year change recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) Amortization reclassified to earnings ) ) ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unrecognized net loss at end of fiscal year $ $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Change in prior service credit: Unrecognized prior service credit at beginning of fiscal year $ — $ — $ ) $ ) Current year change recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) — — ) ) Amortization reclassified to earnings (1) — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unrecognized prior service credit at end of fiscal year $ — $ — $ ) $ ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Amortization of prior service credit is included in other in the above table summarizing the components of net periodic pension benefit cost. In fiscal 2016, unrecognized actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily the result of lower discount rates partially offset by favorable asset performance for both U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans as compared to fiscal 2015. In fiscal 2015, unrecognized actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for U.S. defined benefit pension plans were due primarily to a change in the mortality assumption and lower than expected asset performance. Unrecognized actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2015 were principally the result of lower discount rates as compared to fiscal 2014. The estimated amortization of actuarial losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic pension benefit cost for U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2017 is expected to be $40 million and $43 million, respectively. The estimated amortization of prior service credit from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic pension benefit cost for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2017 is expected to be $7 million. In determining the expected return on plan assets, we consider the relative weighting of plan assets by class and individual asset class performance expectations. The investment strategies for U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans are governed locally. Our investment strategy for our pension plans is to manage the plans on a going concern basis. Current investment policy is to achieve a reasonable return on assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk, for the purpose of enhancing the security of benefits for participants. Projected returns are based primarily on pro forma asset allocation, expected long-term returns, and forward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. The long-term target asset allocation in our U.S. plans' master trust is 10% equity and 90% fixed income. Asset re-allocation to meet that target is occurring over a multi-year period based on the funded status, as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the "Pension Act Funded Status"), of the U.S. plans' master trust and market conditions. We expect to reach our target allocation when the Pension Act Funded Status exceeds 105%. Based on the Pension Act Funded Status as of fiscal year end 2016, our target asset allocation is 45% equity and 55% fixed income. Target weighted-average asset allocation and weighted-average asset allocation for U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans were as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Target Fiscal Fiscal Target Fiscal Fiscal Asset category: Equity securities % % % % % % Debt securities Insurance contracts and other investments — — — Real estate investments — — — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total % % % % % % ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our common shares are not a direct investment of our pension funds; however, the pension funds may indirectly include our shares. The aggregate amount of our common shares would not be considered material relative to the total pension fund assets. Our funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which we operate as well as to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time to time. We expect to make the minimum required contributions of $6 million and $48 million to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in fiscal 2017. We may also make voluntary contributions at our discretion. Benefit payments, which reflect future expected service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans (in millions) Fiscal 2017 $ $ Fiscal 2018 Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2020 Fiscal 2021 Fiscal 2022-2026 Set forth below is the accumulated benefit obligation for all U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans as well as additional information related to plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets and plans with a projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets.

(2) Commingled equity funds are pooled investments in multiple equity-type securities. Fair value is calculated as the closing price of the underlying investments, an observable market condition, divided by the number of shares of the fund outstanding. (3) Government bonds are marked to fair value based on quoted market prices or market approach valuation models using observable market data such as quotes, spreads, and data points for yield curves. (4) Corporate bonds are marked to fair value based on quoted market prices or market approach valuation models using observable market data such as quotes, spreads, and data points for yield curves. (5) Commingled bond funds are pooled investments in multiple debt-type securities. Fair value is calculated as the closing price of the underlying investments, an observable market condition, divided by the number of shares of the fund outstanding. (6) Other investments are composed of insurance contracts, derivatives, short-term investments, structured products such as collateralized obligations and mortgage- and asset-backed securities, real estate investments, and hedge funds. Insurance contracts are valued using cash surrender value, or face value of the contract if a cash surrender value is unavailable (level 2), as these values represent the amount that the plan would receive on termination of the underlying contract. Derivatives, short-term investments, and structured products are marked to fair value using models that are supported by observable market based data (level 2). Real estate investments include investments in commingled real estate funds and are valued at net asset value which is calculated using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity (level 3). Hedge funds are valued at their net asset value which is calculated using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity (level 3). (7) Items to reconcile to fair value of plan assets include amounts receivable for securities sold, amounts payable for securities purchased, and any cash balances, considered to be carried at book value, that are held in the plans. Changes in Level 3 assets in non-U.S. plans were primarily the result of purchases in fiscal 2016 and 2015. Defined Contribution Retirement Plans We maintain several defined contribution retirement plans, the most significant of which is located in the U.S. These plans include 401(k) matching programs, as well as qualified and nonqualified profit sharing and share bonus retirement plans. Expense for the defined contribution plans is computed as a percentage of participants' compensation and was $59 million, $60 million, and $61 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plans We maintain nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which permit eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. A record keeping account is set up for each participant and the participant chooses from a variety of measurement funds for the deemed investment of their accounts. The measurement funds correspond to a number of funds in our 401(k) plans and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds. Total deferred compensation liabilities were $132 million and $118 million at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively. See Note 13 for additional information regarding our risk management strategy related to deferred compensation liabilities. Postretirement Benefit Plans In addition to providing pension and 401(k) benefits, we also provide certain health care coverage continuation for qualifying retirees from the date of retirement to age 65. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was $45 million and $40 million at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the underfunded status of the postretirement benefit plans was included primarily in long-term pension and postretirement liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Activity during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was not significant. |

(2) Excludes nondeductible charges and other items which are separately presented. The income tax benefit for fiscal 2016 included a $1,135 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000 which resolved all aspects of the disputed debt matter with the IRS through the year 2007, partially offset by a $91 million income tax charge related to an increase to the valuation allowance for certain U.S. deferred tax assets. Additionally, the tax benefit for fiscal 2016 included an $83 million net income tax benefit related to tax settlements in certain other tax jurisdictions, partially offset by an income tax charge related to certain legal entity restructurings. See Note 12 for additional information regarding settlements with the IRS. The increase to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets primarily relates to certain U.S. federal and state tax loss and credit carryforwards. Based on our forecast of taxable income for certain U.S. tax reporting groups, U.S. tax loss and credit carryforwards finalized as a result of settlement of the disputed debt matter with the IRS, and certain tax planning actions and strategies, we believed it was more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets would not be realized. The income tax expense for fiscal 2015 included a $264 million income tax benefit related to the effective settlement of all undisputed tax matters for the years 2001 through 2010, partially offset by a $216 million income tax charge associated with the tax impacts of certain intercompany legal entity restructurings made in connection with our integration of Measurement Specialties. Also, income tax expense for fiscal 2015 included an income tax charge of $29 million associated with the tax impacts of certain intercompany dividends related to the restructuring and sale of BNS. The income tax expense for fiscal 2014 included an income tax benefit of $282 million recognized in connection with a reduction in the valuation allowance associated with certain tax loss carryforwards relating to ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("ADC"), partially offset by an income tax charge related to adjustments to prior year income tax returns. In fiscal 2014, we acquired SEACON, and its U.S. operations were combined with our ADC U.S. federal consolidated tax group. In addition, the ADC U.S. tax group was combined with other U.S. legal entities and assets. We reassessed the realization of the revised ADC U.S. tax group's tax loss and credit carryforwards. Based on our forecast of taxable income of the reorganized combined tax group, we believed it was more likely than not that a tax benefit would be realized on additional U.S. federal and state net operating losses. Accordingly, we reduced the valuation allowance and recorded a tax benefit of $282 million. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax asset were as follows: Fiscal Year End 2016 2015 (in millions) Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities and reserves $ $ Tax loss and credit carryforwards Inventories Pension and postretirement benefits Deferred revenue Interest Unrecognized income tax benefits Other ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets ) ) Property, plant, and equipment ) ) Other ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance Valuation allowance ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net deferred tax asset $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our tax loss and credit carryforwards (tax effected) at fiscal year end 2016 were as follows: Expiration Period Through Fiscal 2022 No Total (in millions) U.S. Federal: Net operating loss carryforwards $ — $ $ — $ Tax credit carryforwards Capital loss carryforwards — — U.S. State: Net operating loss carryforwards. — Tax credit carryforwards Non-U.S.: Net operating loss carryforwards Tax credit carryforwards — — Capital loss carryforwards — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total tax loss and credit carryforwards $ $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $3,096 million and $3,237 million at fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss, capital loss, and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. We believe that we will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the income tax benefits related to the remaining net deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At fiscal year end 2016, approximately $169 million of the valuation allowance relates to share-based compensation and will be recorded to equity if certain net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards are utilized. We have provided income taxes for earnings that are currently distributed as well as the taxes associated with several subsidiaries' earnings that are expected to be distributed in the future. No additional provision has been made for Swiss or non-Swiss income taxes on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries or for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to basis differences in investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or we have concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings. As of fiscal year end 2016, certain subsidiaries had approximately $21 billion of cumulative undistributed earnings that have been retained indefinitely and reinvested in our global manufacturing operations, including working capital; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and research and development activities. A liability could arise if our intention to permanently reinvest such earnings were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries. As of fiscal year end 2016, we had approximately $6.9 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and intercompany deposits, principally in our subsidiaries, that we have the ability to distribute to TEGSA, our Luxembourg subsidiary, which is the obligor of substantially all of our debt, and to TE Connectivity Ltd., our Swiss parent company, but we consider to be permanently reinvested. We estimate that up to approximately $1.5 billion of tax expense would be recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements if our intention to permanently reinvest these amounts were to change. Our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate cash, cash equivalents, and intercompany deposits that are designated as permanently reinvested in order to fund our operations, including investing and financing activities. Uncertain Tax Position Provisions of ASC 740 As of fiscal year end 2016, we had total unrecognized income tax benefits of $490 million. If recognized in future years, $370 million of these currently unrecognized income tax benefits would impact income tax expense (benefit) and the effective tax rate. As of fiscal year end 2015, we had total unrecognized income tax benefits of $1,368 million. If recognized in future years, $1,291 million of these unrecognized income tax benefits would impact income tax expense (benefit) and the effective tax rate. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized income tax benefits: Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 (in millions) Balance at beginning of fiscal year $ $ $ Additions related to prior periods tax positions Reductions related to prior periods tax positions ) ) ) Additions related to current period tax positions Acquisitions — Settlements ) ) ) Reductions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations ) ) ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at end of fiscal year $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense (benefit). As of fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, we had $54 million and $1,076 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, recorded primarily in income taxes. The decrease in the accrued interest and penalties from fiscal year end 2015 was due primarily to the effective settlement of tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000 which resolved all aspects of the disputed debt matter with the IRS through the year 2007. During fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, we recognized income tax benefits of $765 million, expense of $7 million, and expense of $99 million, respectively, related to interest and penalties on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We file income tax returns on a unitary, consolidated, or stand-alone basis in multiple state and local jurisdictions, which generally have statutes of limitations ranging from 3 to 4 years. Various state and local income tax returns are currently in the process of examination or administrative appeal. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries file income tax returns in the countries in which they have operations. Generally, these countries have statutes of limitations ranging from 3 to 10 years. Various non-U.S. subsidiary income tax returns are currently in the process of examination by taxing authorities. As of fiscal year end 2016, under applicable statutes, the following tax years remained subject to examination in the major tax jurisdictions indicated: Jurisdiction Open Years China 2006 through 2016 Czech Republic 2013 through 2016 Germany 2013 through 2016 Hong Kong 2010 through 2016 Ireland 2011 through 2016 Italy 2010 through 2016 Japan 2010 through 2016 Korea 2011 through 2016 Luxembourg 2011 through 2016 Netherlands 2012 through 2016 Singapore 2011 through 2016 Spain 2012 through 2016 Switzerland 2011 through 2016 United Kingdom 2015 through 2016 U.S.—federal and state and local 1998 through 2016 In most jurisdictions, taxing authorities retain the ability to review prior tax years and to adjust any net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from these years that are utilized in a subsequent period. Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that up to approximately $90 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months. We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of fiscal year end 2016. |

Other Income (Expense), Net In fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, we recorded net other expense of $632 million, net other expense of $55 million, and net other income of $63 million, respectively, primarily pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco International and Covidien. The net other expense in fiscal 2016 included $604 million related to the effective settlement of tax matters for the years 1997 through 2000 which resolved all aspects of the disputed debt matter with the IRS through the year 2007 and $46 million related to a tax settlement in another jurisdiction. The net other expense in fiscal 2015 included $84 million related to the effective settlement of undisputed tax matters for the years 2001 through 2007. See Note 12 for further information regarding the Tax Sharing Agreement and settlements with the IRS. The net other income in fiscal 2014 included $18 million of income related to our share of a settlement agreement entered into by Tyco International with a former subsidiary, CIT Group Inc., which arose from a pre-separation claim for which we were entitled to 31% once resolved. |

Equity | 18. Equity Common Shares We are organized under the laws of Switzerland. The rights of holders of our shares are governed by Swiss law, our Swiss articles of association, and our Swiss organizational regulations. Accordingly, the par value of our common shares is stated in Swiss francs ("CHF"). We continue to use the U.S. dollar, however, as our reporting currency on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Subject to certain conditions specified in our articles of association, we are authorized to increase our conditional share capital by issuing new shares in aggregate not exceeding 50% of our authorized shares. In March 2016, our shareholders approved for a period of two years ending on March 2, 2018, our board of directors' authorization to issue additional new shares, subject to certain conditions specified in the articles of association, in aggregate not exceeding 50% of the amount of our authorized shares. Common Shares Held in Treasury At fiscal year end 2016, approximately 28 million common shares were held in treasury, of which 2 million were owned by one of our subsidiaries. At fiscal year end 2015, approximately 20 million common shares were held in treasury, of which 6 million were owned by one of our subsidiaries. Shares held both directly by us and by our subsidiary are presented as treasury shares on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 31 million, 5 million, and 10 million shares, respectively, purchased under our share repurchase program. These capital reductions by cancellation of shares were subject to a notice period and filing with the commercial register in Switzerland. Contributed Surplus Contributed surplus established for Swiss tax and statutory purposes ("Swiss Contributed Surplus"), subject to certain conditions, is a freely distributable reserve. Distributions to shareholders from Swiss Contributed Surplus are free from withholding tax. As of fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, Swiss Contributed Surplus was CHF 7,878 million and CHF 8,392 million, respectively (equivalent to $6,992 million and $7,505 million, respectively). Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Under Swiss law, subject to certain conditions, distributions to shareholders made in the form of a reduction of registered share capital or from reserves from capital contributions (equivalent to Swiss Contributed Surplus) are exempt from Swiss withholding tax. Distributions or dividends on our shares must be approved by our shareholders. Our shareholders approved the following dividends on our common shares: Approval Date Payment Type Annual Payment Per Share Payment Dates March 2013 Dividend payment out of contributed surplus CHF 0.96 (equivalent to $1.00), payable in four quarterly installments of $0.25 Third quarter of fiscal 2013 March 2014 Dividend payment out of contributed surplus CHF 1.04 (equivalent to $1.16), payable in four quarterly installments of $0.29 Third quarter of fiscal 2014 March 2015 Dividend payment out of contributed surplus $1.32 (equivalent to CHF 1.27), payable in four quarterly installments of $0.33 Third quarter of fiscal 2015 March 2016 Dividend payment out of contributed surplus $1.48 (equivalent to CHF 1.48), payable in four quarterly installments of $0.37 Third quarter of fiscal 2016 Upon shareholders' approval of a dividend payment or cash distribution in the form of a capital reduction, we record a liability with a corresponding charge to contributed surplus or common shares. At fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, the unpaid portion of the dividends recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $263 million and $260 million, respectively. Share Repurchase Program During fiscal 2016, our board of directors authorized an increase of $1.0 billion in the share repurchase program. Common shares repurchased under the share repurchase program were as follows: Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 (in millions) Number of common shares repurchased Amount repurchased $ $ $ At fiscal year end 2016, we had $1.1 billion of availability remaining under our share repurchase authorization. |

Share Plans | 20. Share Plans Our equity compensation plans, of which the TE Connectivity Ltd. 2007 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, is the primary plan, provide for the award of annual performance bonuses and long-term performance awards, including share options; restricted, performance, and deferred share units; and other share-based awards (collectively, "Awards") and allow for the use of unissued shares or treasury shares to be used to satisfy such Awards. As of fiscal year end 2016, our plans provided for a maximum of 67 million shares to be issued as Awards, subject to adjustment as provided under the terms of the plans. A total of 16 million shares remained available for issuance under our plans as of fiscal year end 2016. Share-Based Compensation Expense Total share-based compensation expense, which was included primarily in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was as follows: Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 (in millions) Share-based compensation expense $ $ $ We recognized a related tax benefit associated with our share-based compensation arrangements of $29 million, $29 million, and $24 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Restricted Share Awards Restricted share awards, which are generally in the form of restricted share units, are granted subject to certain restrictions. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. All restrictions on an award will lapse upon death or disability of the employee. If the employee satisfies retirement requirements, a portion of the award may vest, depending on the terms and conditions of the particular grant. Recipients of restricted share units have no voting rights, but do receive dividend equivalents. For grants that vest through passage of time, the fair value of the award at the time of the grant is amortized to expense over the period of vesting. The fair value of restricted share awards is determined based on the closing value of our shares on the grant date. Restricted share awards generally vest in increments over a period of four years as determined by the management development and compensation committee. A summary of restricted share award activity is presented below: Shares Weighted-Average Nonvested at fiscal year end 2015 $ Granted Vested ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Nonvested at fiscal year end 2016 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted share awards granted during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $64.88, $62.45, and $52.21, respectively. The total fair value of restricted share awards that vested during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $51 million, $58 million, and $52 million, respectively. As of fiscal year end 2016, there was $74 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted share awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Performance Share Awards Performance share awards, which are generally in the form of performance share units, are granted with pay-out subject to vesting requirements and certain performance conditions that are determined at the time of grant. Based on our performance, the pay-out of performance share units can range from 0% to 200% of the number of units originally granted. The grant-date fair value of performance share awards is expensed over the period of performance once achievement of the performance criteria is deemed probable. Recipients of performance share units have no voting rights but do receive dividend equivalents. Performance share awards generally vest after a period of three years as determined by the management development and compensation committee. A summary of performance share award activity is presented below: Shares Weighted-Average Outstanding at fiscal year end 2015 $ Granted Vested ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding at fiscal year end 2016 $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance share awards granted during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $55.15, $61.65, and $51.63, respectively. The total fair value of performance share awards that vested during fiscal 2016 was $15 million. The total fair value of performance share awards that vested in fiscal 2015 and 2014 was insignificant. As of fiscal year end 2016, there was $18 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. Share Options Share options are granted to purchase our common shares at prices which are equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. All restrictions on the award will lapse upon death or disability of the employee. If the employee satisfies retirement requirements, a portion of the award may vest, depending on the terms and conditions of the particular grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of four years and expire ten years after the date of grant. A summary of share option award activity is presented below: Shares Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Aggregate (in years) (in millions) Outstanding at fiscal year end 2015 $ Granted Exercised ) Expired ) Forfeited ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding at fiscal year end 2016 $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Vested and expected to vest at fiscal year end 2016 $ $ Exercisable at fiscal year end 2016 $ $ The weighted-average exercise price of share option awards granted during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $65.70, $61.70, and $51.78, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $67 million, $107 million, and $136 million, respectively. We received cash related to the exercise of options of $90 million, $103 million, and $156 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The related excess cash tax benefit classified as a financing cash inflow on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was not material. As of fiscal year end 2016, there was $36 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share options granted under our share option plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Share-Based Compensation Assumptions The grant-date fair value of each share option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. We employ our historical share volatility when calculating the grant-date fair value of our share option grants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Currently, we do not have exchange-traded options of sufficient duration to employ an implied volatility assumption in the calculation and therefore rely solely on the historical volatility calculation. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term that approximated the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The expected annual dividend per share was based on our expected dividend rate. The recognized share-based compensation expense was net of estimated forfeitures, which are based on voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted and the weighted-average assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model were as follows: Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ $ $ Assumptions: Expected share price volatility % % % Risk free interest rate % % % Expected annual dividend per share $ $ $ Expected life of options (in years) |

Segment and Geographic Data | 21. Segment and Geographic Data We operate through three reportable segments: Transportation Solutions, Industrial Solutions, and Communications Solutions. See Note 1 for a description of the segments in which we operate. We aggregate our operating segments into reportable segments based upon similar economic characteristics and business groupings of products, services, and customers. Segment performance is evaluated based on net sales and operating income. Generally, we consider all expenses to be of an operating nature and, accordingly, allocate them to each reportable segment. Costs specific to a segment are charged to the segment. Corporate expenses, such as headquarters administrative costs, are allocated to the segments based on segment operating income. Intersegment sales were not material and were recorded at selling prices that approximate market prices. Corporate assets are allocated to the segments based on segment assets. Net sales and operating income by segment were as follows: Net Sales Operating Income Fiscal Fiscal 2016 2015 2014 2016 2015 2014 (in millions) Transportation Solutions $ $ $ $ $ $ Industrial Solutions Communications Solutions (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total $ $ $ $ $ $ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1) Includes pre-tax gain of $144 million on the sale of our CPD business during fiscal 2016.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of TE Connectivity Ltd. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these Consolidated Financial Statements include restructuring and other charges, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, estimates of future cash flows and discount rates associated with asset impairments, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, net realizable value of inventories, estimated contract revenue and related costs, legal contingencies, tax reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and the determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension benefit cost. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year We have a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday of September. For fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, the fourth quarter reporting period includes 14 weeks. Fiscal 2016 was a 53 week year and ended on September 30, 2016. Fiscal 2015 and 2014 were 52 weeks in length and ended on September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, respectively. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation We consolidate entities in which we own or control more than 50% of the voting shares or otherwise have the ability to control through similar rights. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included on the Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Our revenues are generated principally from the sale of our products. Revenue from the sale of products is recognized at the time title and the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. This generally occurs when the products reach the shipping point, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Contract revenues for construction related projects, which are generated in the Communications Solutions segment, are recorded primarily using the percentage-of-completion method. Profits recognized on contracts in process are based upon estimated contract revenue and related cost to complete. Percentage-of-completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs. Revisions in cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing profits in the current period. Provisions for anticipated losses are made in the period in which they first become determinable. In addition, provisions for credit losses related to construction related projects are recorded as reductions of revenue in the period in which they first become determinable. We generally warrant that our products will conform to our, or mutually agreed to, specifications and that our products will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a limited time. We limit our warranty to the replacement or repair of defective parts, or a refund or credit of the price of the defective product. We accept returned goods only when the customer makes a verified claim and we have authorized the return. Generally, a reserve for estimated returns is established at the time of sale based on historical return experience and is recorded as a reduction of sales. Additionally, certain of our long-term contracts in the Communications Solutions segment have warranty obligations. Estimated warranty costs for each contract are determined based on the contract terms and technology-specific considerations. These costs are included in total estimated contract costs and are accrued over the construction period of the respective contracts under percentage-of-completion accounting. We provide certain distributors with an inventory allowance for returns or scrap equal to a percentage of qualified purchases. A reserve for estimated returns and scrap allowances is established at the time of the sale, based on an agreed upon fixed percentage of sales to distributors, and is recorded as a reduction of sales. Other allowances include customer quantity and price discrepancies. A reserve for other allowances is generally established at the time of sale based on historical experience and is recorded as a reduction of sales. We believe we can reasonably and reliably estimate the amounts of future allowances. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out cost method, except for inventoried costs incurred in the performance of long-term contracts primarily by the Communications Solutions segment. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net | Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 10 to 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 1 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. We periodically evaluate, when events and circumstances warrant, the net realizable value of property, plant, and equipment and other long-lived assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the carrying values of the asset group are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying asset group. Impairment of the carrying value is recognized whenever anticipated future undiscounted cash flow estimates are less than the carrying value of the asset. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets include both indeterminable-lived residual goodwill and determinable-lived identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets with a determinable life primarily include intellectual property, consisting of patents, trademarks, and unpatented technology, as well as customer relationships. Recoverability estimates range from 1 to 50 years and costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis. An evaluation of the remaining useful life of determinable-lived intangible assets is performed on a periodic basis and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation. At fiscal year end 2016, we had six reporting units, five of which contained goodwill. There were two reporting units in each of our three segments. When changes occur in the composition of one or more reporting units, goodwill is reassigned to the reporting units affected based on their relative fair values. Goodwill impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year or whenever we believe a triggering event requiring a more frequent assessment has occurred. In assessing the existence of a triggering event, management relies on a number of reporting unit-specific factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions, and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management's judgment in applying these factors to the impairment analysis. When testing for goodwill impairment, we perform a step I goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired and a step II goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. In the step II goodwill impairment test, we compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner consistent with how goodwill is recognized in a business combination. We allocate the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Fair value estimates used in the step I goodwill impairment tests are calculated using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows of each reporting unit. The income approach generally has been supported by guideline analyses (a market approach). These approaches incorporate a number of assumptions including future growth rates, discount rates, income tax rates, and market activity in assessing fair value and are reporting unit specific. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions could result in goodwill impairments in future periods. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development expenditures are expensed when incurred and are included in research, development, and engineering expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development expenses include salaries, direct costs incurred, and building and overhead expenses. The amounts expensed in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $566 million, $540 million, and $484 million, respectively. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes . Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book and tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The calculation of our tax liabilities includes estimates for uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations across multiple global jurisdictions where we conduct our operations. Under the uncertain tax position provisions of ASC 740, we recognize liabilities for tax and related interest for issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes and related interest will be due. These tax liabilities and related interest are reflected net of the impact of related tax loss carryforwards, as such tax loss carryforwards will be applied against these tax liabilities and will reduce the amount of cash tax payments due upon the eventual settlement with the tax authorities. These estimates may change due to changing facts and circumstances. Due to the complexity of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a settlement that differs from our current estimate of the tax liabilities and related interest. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. We account for derivative financial instrument contracts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For instruments not designated as hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the changes in the instruments' fair value are recognized currently in earnings. For instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge, including amounts excluded from the hedging relationship, are recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair value of instruments designated as fair value hedges affect the carrying value of the asset or liability hedged, with changes in both the derivative instrument and the hedged asset or liability being recognized currently in earnings. We determine the fair value of our financial instruments by using methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. Standard market conventions are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives. The cash flows related to derivative financial instruments are reported in the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our derivative financial instruments present certain market and counterparty risks. Concentration of counterparty risk is mitigated, however, by our use of financial institutions worldwide, substantially all of which have long-term Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch credit ratings of A/A2 or higher. In addition, we utilize only conventional derivative financial instruments. We are exposed to potential losses if a counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of its agreement. With respect to counterparty net asset positions recognized at fiscal year end 2016, we have assessed the likelihood of counterparty default as remote. We currently provide guarantees from a wholly-owned subsidiary to the counterparties to our commodity swap derivatives and exchange cash collateral with the counterparties to our cross-currency swap contracts. The likelihood of performance on the guarantees has been assessed as remote. For all other derivative financial instruments, we are not required to provide, nor do we require counterparties to provide, collateral or other security. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observable inputs utilized in valuation of certain assets and liabilities. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy: • Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2. Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flows methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are generally valued using level 2 inputs. Financial instruments other than derivative instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. These instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at book value. For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, we believe book value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 11 for disclosure of the fair value of debt. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the respective financial instruments: • Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are valued at book value, which we consider to be equivalent to unadjusted quoted prices (level 1). • Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are valued based on the net value expected to be realized. The net realizable value generally represents an observable contractual agreement (level 2). • Accounts payable. Accounts payable are valued based on the net value expected to be paid, generally supported by an observable contractual agreement (level 2). • Debt. The fair value of debt, including both current and non-current maturities, is derived from quoted market prices or other pricing determinations based on the results of market approach valuation models using observable market data such as recently reported trades, bid and offer information, and benchmark securities (level 2). |
Pension | Pension The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date. The projected benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits projected to be paid upon retirement factoring in estimated future compensation levels. The fair value of plan assets represents the current market value of cumulative company and participant contributions made to irrevocable trust funds, held for the sole benefit of participants, which are invested by the trustee of the funds. The benefits under our defined benefit pension plans are based on various factors, such as years of service and compensation. Net periodic pension benefit cost is based on the utilization of the projected unit credit method of calculation and is charged to earnings on a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current participants. The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost is based on estimates and assumptions determined by our management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age, and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, interest crediting rates, and mortality rates. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation We determine the fair value of share awards on the date of grant. Share options are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model; restricted share awards and performance awards are valued using our end-of-day share price on the date of grant. The fair value is expensed ratably over the expected service period, with an allowance made for estimated forfeitures based on historical employee activity. Estimates regarding the attainment of performance criteria are reviewed periodically; the cumulative impact of a change in estimate regarding the attainment of performance criteria is recorded in the period in which that change is made. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation arrangements. |
Currency Translation | Currency Translation For our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using fiscal year end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, which are included in earnings, were immaterial in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014. |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges Restructuring activities involve employee-related termination costs, facility exit costs, and asset impairments resulting from reductions-in-force, migration of facilities or product lines from higher-cost to lower-cost countries, or consolidation of facilities within countries. We recognize termination costs based on requirements established by severance policy, government law, or previous actions. Facility exit costs generally reflect the cost to terminate a facility lease before the end of its term (measured at fair value at the time we cease using the facility) or costs that will continue to be incurred under the facility lease without future economic benefit to us. Restructuring activities often result in the disposal or abandonment of assets that require an acceleration of depreciation or impairment reflecting the excess of the assets' carrying values over fair value. The recognition of restructuring costs require that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent our actual results differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimated liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring costs or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure these balances are properly stated and the utilization of the reserves are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans. |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values, or as required by ASC 805, Business Combinations . The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. We may engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. |
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities We record a loss contingency when the available information indicates it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. When a range of possible losses with equal likelihood exists, we record the low end of the range. The likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict, and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on information available. In addition, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must continuously be evaluated to determine whether a loss is probable and a reasonable estimate of that loss can be made. When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, or when a loss is at least reasonably possible, disclosure is provided. |
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , to simplify various aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. This update is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018; however, we expect to early adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We expect the impact of adoption of the provision addressing accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies will increase noncurrent deferred tax assets and retained earnings by approximately $170 million. Adoption of the remaining provisions of the update will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases , requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for most leases. This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We will adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective transition approach which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on our financial position. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance supersedes ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and introduces a single, comprehensive, five-step revenue recognition model. ASC 606 also enhances disclosures related to revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASC 606 by one year. ASC 606 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach at adoption. We are continuing to assess the impact of adopting ASC 606, but do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the FASB issued an update to ASC 740 requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. We elected to early adopt this update on a prospective basis during fiscal 2016. Prior period amounts were not retrospectively adjusted. In April 2015, the FASB issued an update to ASC 835, Interest, requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We elected to early adopt this update during fiscal 2016. The update was applied on a retrospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Insurance contracts are valued using cash surrender value, or face value of the contract if a cash surrender value is unavailable (level 2), as these values represent the amount that the plan would receive on termination of the underlying contract. Derivatives, short-term investments, and structured products are marked to fair value using models that are supported by observable market based data (level 2). Real estate investments include investments in commingled real estate funds and are valued at net asset value which is calculated using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity (level 3).
