As the structure of connectors becomes increasingly diversified, new structures and application fields continue to emerge. It has become difficult to adapt to the classification and naming problems by using a fixed model. Despite this, some basic classifications are still based on the functions of the internal and external connections of electronic equipment, and the interconnection can be divided into five levels.

The top five application areas of global connector sales are: automobiles, computers and their peripherals, communications, industrial equipment, aerospace and military, while the top five applications with the highest growth rate are consumer electronics, transportation electronics, communications electronics, computers and peripherals. Among them, medical electronics has become a new growth point for connector applications. With the implementation of my country's new medical reform and the continuous improvement of the level of medical informatization, the market demand capacity of connectors in my country's medical field continues to increase.

my country's connectors are mainly low-end and medium-end, and high-end connectors account for a low proportion, but the demand growth rate is relatively fast. At present, my country's connector development is in a transition period from production to creation. In the field of high-end connectors, In the field of connectors, computers and peripherals occupy a large market share, and the automotive connector market also occupies a high share. The domestic automotive connector market share accounts for about 20%, and the rapid popularization of 3G mobile phones has led to a rapid increase in the demand for high-end connectors. With the increasing competition in the connector manufacturing industry, mergers and acquisitions and capital operations between large connector manufacturers are becoming more frequent. Domestic connector manufacturers are paying more and more attention to the research on the industry market, especially the in-depth research on the industrial development environment and product buyers. Because of this, a large number of domestic connector brands have risen rapidly!

Due to the increasing diversification of the structure of [connectors], new structures and application fields continue to emerge, and it has become difficult to adapt to try to use a fixed model to solve the classification and naming problems. Despite this, some basic classifications are still based on the functions of the internal and external connections of electronic equipment, and the interconnection can be divided into five levels.

① Internal connection of chip packaging

② IC packaging introduction The connection between the pin and the PCB. A typical connector IC socket.

③ The connection between the printed circuit and the wire or printed board. The typical connector is the printed circuit connector.

④ The connection between the baseboard and the baseboard. The typical connector is a cabinet connector.

⑤ The connection between devices. The typical product is a circular connector.

There is some overlap between the third and fourth levels. Among the five levels of connectors, the market is the third and fifth levels of products, and the third level is currently growing fastest. According to the classification of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), connectors are electromechanical components for electronic equipment. Electrical connectors and relays are collectively referred to as electromechanical components.

Market development

With the rapid growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and communication terminal markets and the continuous transfer of global connector production capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become a place with great potential for the development of the connector market, and China will become a market with fast growth and large capacity for global connectors. Electrical connectors The main supporting fields of connectors include transportation, communications, networks, IT, home appliances, etc. The rapid development of the technical level of supporting products and the rapid growth of the market have strongly driven the development of connector technology. So far, connectors have developed into a series of and specialized products with a complete range of products, rich varieties and specifications, diverse structural types, subdivided professional directions, obvious industry characteristics, and standardized standard systems.

In general, the development of connector technology presents the following characteristics: high-speed and digital signal transmission, integration of various types of signal transmission, miniaturization of product volume, low-cost products, surface mounting of contact termination methods, modular combination, convenient plugging and unplugging, etc. The above technologies represent the development direction of connector technology, but it should be noted that the above technologies are not necessary for all connectors. Connectors in different supporting fields and different use environments have completely different requirements for the above technologies.
