Connector is an electronic component that is in constant contact. Its effect is very simple:set up a bridge of communication between the blocked circuits or isolated circuits. So the current flow and the circuit achieve a predetermined function. In general terms, the connector is not limited to current. For the optical fiber system, the carrier of the transmitted signal is light, glass and plastic substitute the wires in the ordinary circuit. But the connectors are also used in the pathways, and their functions are the same as the circuit connectors.
Last year, the output of connectors reach 46.8 billion pieces, the market size reached 51.5 billion yuan.The average annual growth rate is 17% and 15%. Even in the shadow of the financial crisis, the connector market still has a strong development potential.
At the same time, Asia has become the most promising connector market. GlobalIndustry reports show that the Asian market will reach to $ 6.4 billion in 2010. While China will become the fastest growing and largest capacity in the worldwide market By 2010. Connector market capacity in China reached 25.7 billion yuan. In the future, the growth rate of connector market in China will continue to exceed the global average. In the last two years, foreign markets continued to slump, which made the foreign connector manufacturers to tighten the layout in China. Thus accelerating the development of China connector market.
The development of the application field has put forward new requirements for the connector technology: high speed, digitization and integration of the signal transmission; small size, narrow pitch, multi-function; the convenience of plug and the combination of the module; Low cost. Connector applications continue to expand.Medical applications is expected to be among the top five. Statistics show that the world's top five connector sales are: automotive, computer and peripherals, communications, industrial equipment and aerospace and military. While the top five applications of growth rate are consumer electronics, traffic electronics, medical electronics, communications electronics, computers and peripherals. So medical electronics will become a new growth point for connector applications. There are insiders predict by 2011, the medical field of the connector market will reach 1.63 billion US dollars.
As the largest share of the market of connector, circular push-pull self-locking connector has tens of thousands of reliable products.It is the world's largest product scale, including electronic, electrical and fiber interconnect solutions, switches and application tools, etc, meetingworldwide customer needs, including high-speed signal integrity, miniaturization, high power supply, optical signal transmission and sealing of the harsh environment, etc.
