Analysis of the development trend of the connector industry

Large-scale use of high-performance connectors is the development trend of the future manufacturing industry

As a bridge for communication within the circuit system, the connector has the characteristics of easy maintenance and easy upgrade, meanwhile, it can simplify the assembly process of electronic products, improve the flexibility of design and production, thereby increasing the degree of automation of the entire system and reducing costs. Therefore, the performance of the connector will affect the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire system. In the future, the diversity, performance and quality of connector products will become important factors in the entire manufacturing upgrade and development process.

More emerging areas have strong demand for connectors

With the rapid development of 5G, Internet of Things, AI, and intelligent driving, the market has put forward new requirements for connector technology. In communication equipment, connectors carry the task of data connection between terminals. The development of 5G will promote the growth of demand for wireless connectors. In automotive applications, with the continuous advancement of automotive intelligence, in addition to the original engine management system and other devices that require connector data connections, more advanced vehicle entertainment systems, intelligent driving systems, and other connectors have increasingly demanded connectors. Industrially, connectors require stronger reliability and performance. With the construction of the Industrial Internet, more reliable connectors are needed between industrial equipment and networks. Therefore, the development trend of connectors can be summarized in the following table.

From single signal transmission to multiple signal transmission

Traditional connectors only transmit a single signal, such as video, control, or data signals. As electronic products become thinner and thinner, connectors change from a single signal transmission to multiple signal transmissions. The same cable can transmit optical, electrical, or other signals at the same time. It also helps save space and improve system reliability.

Smaller, more convenient, more accurate, lower cost, smarter connector technology

The previous connectors were used for many contacts, and they were filled in many expansion card slots, but in the 5G era, there may be dozens of connectors in a fiber optic device, which requires smaller connectors to achieve higher performance connections.

With the advent of the AI era, connectors will not only achieve simple transmission functions. In the future, in addition to ensuring the data of electrical signals in the switching power supply, the connector may perform simple intelligent judgment and protection, output correct data and avoid power Damage.
