High end connectors have become the focus of growth, and connector technology is improving rapidly

The Information Center of the China Electronic Components Industry Association predicts that the size of China's connector market will reach 51.5 billion yuan by 2010. Currently, China's connectors are mainly in the mid to low end, and the proportion of high-end connectors is still relatively low, but demand is growing rapidly. In the field of high-end connectors, computers and peripheral devices have the largest market share, and the automotive and medical equipment connector markets also have a high market share. In China, the automotive connector market share is about 20%, while the rapid popularity of 3G mobile phones has led to a rapid growth in demand for high-end connectors. Currently, the connector pin spacing used in 3G mobile phones is only 0.3mm.

With the development of mobile products, led by smartphones, towards miniaturization, thinning, and high performance, the connection between display screen components and substrates has become more complex. In this context, the demand for narrow spacing, low back, and multi polarization of substrate to substrate connectors and FPC connectors is becoming more urgent, especially for the ultra-thin requirements of mobile phones, which require ultra-low back requirements for internal connectors. In order to achieve low back, narrow spacing, miniaturization, multi polarization, and high reliability of products, various manufacturers have adopted simulation technology for in-depth research and development. With the high-speed trend of civilian products and products such as communication, computers, and measuring instruments, the development of connector technology for high-speed transmission has also made progress. The demand for digital interface connectors used in products such as flat screen TVs, DVD burners, and STBs is becoming more urgent. Connector manufacturers that were previously active in the industrial machinery market are eager to enter this new field, and the competition for new product development is becoming increasingly fierce. The development of HDMI connectors, which are highly regarded in the market, is becoming increasingly active. Connecting the D terminals of digital broadcasting, television, and STB, as well as high value-added terminals such as "D3" that can play high-definition video formats and "D4" used in digital broadcasting, including the variety of plugs, each manufacturer plans to expand their product structure.
