The connector is the Connector, which is also called the connector, plug and socket in China. Its role is very simple: to bridge the communication between the blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current flows, so that the circuit achieves the intended function. As small as the connection between the mobile phone battery and the motherboard, as large as the energy base station, the connector can be found wherever there is power signal and data transmission.
Connectors are also an important part of the industrial system. With the rapid development of personal mobile terminals, home smart appliances, information and communication industries, transportation and new energy industries, aerospace technology, artificial intelligence, medical electronic devices, etc., the connector has been proposed in terms of function, appearance, performance and use environment. High requirements. So, what trends are there in the connector technology?
1. Micro-miniature integration development trend
In order to meet the requirements of portable, digital and multi-function electronic production, as well as production assembly automation, electronic connectors must be adjusted for product structure. The products are mainly developed in the direction of small size, low height, narrow sound distance, multi-function, long life and surface mounting.
Miniaturization means that the center of the electronic connector is smaller, and the high density is to achieve large core number. The miniaturization of consumer electronics requires a combination of miniaturization, thinning, and high performance, which has led to the development of connector products toward miniaturization and small pitch. The miniaturization of components requires higher technology, which requires a strong industrial mold base to effectively support.
2. Intelligent development trend
Nowadays, it is a world of rapid information development. No matter what kind of information or technology is targeted, people's requirements are getting higher and higher. From the rapid development of information communication data, wireless Internet has come to each of us, from the application of smart phones, smart wear, drones, driverless, VR reality, intelligent robots, etc., to install IC chips and The development of intelligent electronic connectors for control circuits is an inevitable trend.
Because this will enable the electronic connector to more intelligently grasp the use of the electronic device, and improve the performance of the connector itself to achieve smart wireless bridging.
3. High-performance development trend
High-speed transmission means that modern computer, information technology and network technology require the time-scale rate of signal transmission to reach the megahertz band, and the pulse time reaches sub-millisecond, so high-speed transmission electronic connectors are required. The high frequency is to adapt to the development of millimeter wave technology, and the RF coaxial electronic connectors have entered the millimeter wave working frequency band.
High current is also an important development direction for many electronic connectors. Although short, thin, energy-saving and low-cost is the direction of consumer electronics, the following two aspects determine the evolution of power supply to high current in a considerable number of applications. This makes the connector have higher requirements on the selection of raw materials, structural design and processing technology. New high-temperature materials, new electroplating processes, and more flexible alloy materials make future connectors more adaptable to harsh environments.
4, the appearance is beautiful and stylish, pay more attention to the development trend of the experience
With the continuous development and advancement of multimedia and other technologies, connectors are also undergoing constant changes to adapt to their main body. Along with the development of science and technology, a good connector not only has to be more and more beautiful and fashionable, the material is more and more durable, the operation is more and more convenient, and more importantly, the design of the core part is more and more connected. Refined and refined. In this way, the phenomenon that the card slot is loose for a long time like the general data connector does not appear, and even the data transmission portion of the connector is completely paralyzed.
