Analysis of Connector Application Status and Development Trend

The development of the connector is following the trend of the times. As the use of our electronic products is more and more, the requirements of the connectors are getting higher and higher for mobile phones, computers, cameras and the like. Not only compact, but also requires precision, perfect. Only the connector to adapt to the needs of the production can get better development. Future development of the connector potential and prospects are looking forward to. FPC connector

Although the connector is not the protagonist of the device, but it is an important supporting role. IC is like the heart of the device, connectors and cables are the hands and feet of the device, hands and feet play an important role for the full functionality of the device.

Application areas

The main supporting areas of electrical connectors are transportation, communications, networking, IT, medical, home appliances, etc., supporting the rapid development of technology and the rapid growth of the market, strong traction connector technology. So far, the connector has developed into a series of specialized and specialized products with complete product range, rich variety specifications, diverse structure types, professional direction breakdown, obvious industry characteristics and standard system specifications.

Market analysis

According to "2013-2017 China Connector Industry Market Outlook and Investment Opportunity Analysis Report" shows that the global connector sales top five applications are: automotive, computer and peripherals, communications, industrial equipment and aerospace and Military applications, while the top five applications by growth are consumer electronics, transportation electronics, medical electronics, communications electronics, computers and peripherals.

China has become the largest market for connectors

 With the rapid growth of the consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communications terminal markets and the continuous shift of global connector manufacturing capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become the most promising place in the connector market and China will become the fastest growing connector in the world And the largest market capacity.

China's connector is mainly low-end-based, high-end even share of the machine is relatively low, but demand growth faster. At present, China's connector development is in the transition from production to creation. In the field of high-end connectors, computers and peripherals have the largest market share, and automobile and medical equipment connector markets also occupy a relatively high share. The domestic automotive connector market share of about Accounting for 20%, while the rapid spread of 3G and 4G mobile phones, making the rapid growth in demand for high-end connectors.

development trend

Overall, the development of the connector technology presents the following characteristics: high speed and digital signal transmission, integration of various types of signal transmission, miniaturization of the product size miniaturization, low cost of the product, contact termination table Affixed, modular combination, plug-in convenience and so on. The above technology represents the development direction of the connector technology, but need to explain is: The above technology is not required for all connectors, different supporting areas and different environments using the connector, the demand for the above technology is completely different .

 The development of the connector should be miniaturized (due to the smaller and lighter development of many products, the requirements of pitch and appearance size and height have certain requirements, the requirements of the products will be more sophisticated, such as the most Good choice of small spacing 0.6mm and 0.8mm), high-density, high-speed transmission, high-frequency direction.

Miniaturization means that the connector center spacing smaller, high-density digital core is to achieve large, now popular pogo pin probe connector can well meet this demand.

High Density PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Connectors The total number of effective contacts reaches 600 cores and special devices up to 5000 cores.

High-speed transmission refers to the modern computer, information technology and network technology requirements of signal transmission time-scale rate up to MHz band, pulse time to sub-millisecond, thus requiring high-speed transmission connector.

High frequency is to adapt to the development of millimeter wave technology, RF coaxial connectors have entered the millimeter wave frequency band.
