Connector is in regular contact with an electronic component. Its function is very simple: in the circuit is blocked or impassable isolation between circuits, built bridges of communication, allowing current flow circuit meet their intended function. Generic, Connector connection was not limited to current in today's rapid development of photoelectron technology and fiber-optic system, passing the signal carrier is light, glass and plastic instead of the normal conductors in a circuit, but the connectors are also used in optical signaling pathways, their functions and circuit connectors are the same.
Connector production reached 46.8 billion last year, market size reached 51.5 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate will be 17% and 15% respectively. Even under the shadow of the financial crisis, connector market still has great potential for development.
At the same time, Asia becomes the connector with the most development potential in the market. Global Industry reports indicate that Asian market will be US $ 6.4 billion in 2010, China will become the world's fastest-growing and largest connector market by 2010, the Chinese connector market capacity up to 25.7 billion yuan, China connector market will continue to grow faster than the global average. Foreign market remains in the doldrums in recent two years, allow foreign connector manufacturers press on China's layout, thereby accelerating the development of connectors market in China.
Application development in the field of the connector technology makes new demands: high speed, digital signal transmission and integration; product is of small size, narrow pitch, multi-functional; convenient Plug and module combination of products of low cost. Connector applications expanding medical applications is expected to be among the top five. Statistics show that the global connector sales among the top five areas of application are: automotive, computers and peripherals, communications, industrial and aerospace and military, while the increase among the top five consumer electronics, transportation, electronics and medical electronics, telecommunications, computers, and peripherals. Therefore, medical electronics will become the new growth point of application connectors. Industry insiders expected by 2011, the medical field connector market will reach us $ 1.63 billion.
