Overview of Connector 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 the most promising market for connectors, and China will become the fastest-growing and largest market for connectors globally. It is estimated that the growth rate of China's connector market will continue to exceed the global average in the future. Within the next 5 years, the market size of connectors in China will achieve an average annual growth rate of 15%, and by 2010, the capacity of China's connector market will reach 25.7 billion yuan.

　　The main supporting fields of electrical connectors include transportation, communication, network, IT, medical, and home appliances. The rapid development of product technology and market growth in supporting fields strongly drives the development of connector technology. To date, connectors have developed into a series of specialized products with a complete range of product types, abundant varieties and specifications, diverse structural forms, detailed professional directions, obvious industry characteristics, and standardized systems.

　　Overall, the development of connector technology shows the following characteristics: high-speed and digital signal transmission, integration of various signal transmissions, miniaturization and microminiaturization of products, low cost of products, surface mount termination of contact parts, modular combination, and convenient plugging and unplugging. The above technologies represent the development direction of connector technology, but it should be noted that not all connectors require the above technologies. Different supporting fields and different usage environments of connectors have completely different needs for the above technologies.

Development Direction of Connectors

　　The development of connectors should be towards miniaturization, high density, high-speed transmission, and high frequency. Miniaturization refers to a smaller center distance of the connector, and high density refers to achieving a large number of cores. High-density PCB (printed circuit board) connectors have a total number of effective contacts up to 600 cores, and specialized devices can have up to 5000 cores. High-speed transmission refers to the requirement of modern computers, information technology, and network technology for signal transmission time scales at the megahertz frequency band, with pulse times reaching sub-milliseconds, thus requiring high-speed transmission connectors. High frequency is to adapt to the development of millimeter-wave technology, and radio frequency coaxial connectors have entered the millimeter-wave operating frequency band.
