Connector industry is a mature industry, with even the machine technology improvesconnector market is also expanding. In recent years, connector manufacturerscontinue to increase, the market scale has reached 45300000000 US dollars, the application field of connectors are used in automobiles, computers,telecommunications, industrial, consumer electronics, aerospace, fortune field.
The automotive sector is the connector's largest market, accounting for about 21.4%.The average per car connector of about $102. Usually the automobile connectors are sold to automotive wiring harness manufacturers, and then by the automotive wiring harness manufacturers sell to vehicle manufacturers. While large automotive wiring harness manufacturers usually have the ability to manufacture connector. Therefore,automotive wiring harness manufacturers are generally connector Dachang, such asSumitomo Yazaki, electrical, Delphi are automotive wiring harness before 1, 2, 3. Car connector manufacturers have accounted for the highest proportion of income of Tyco Electronics, FCI, South Korea KET.
Desktop connector market mostly by international companies to carve up the Hon Hai,which accounted for the highest proportion. Market stability table machine, the lack ofgrowth momentum. Notebook computer 98% are Taiwan foundry business, so Taiwan is also a notebook computer connector manufacturers most of the area, as many as 200, mostly between 10-70 million nt. The Hon Hai is also the largest.
A laptop computer (NB) in use about 35 to 45 stars connector, the equivalent of $10.A NB uses a variety of connectors, which the processor socket (CPU Socket) of themaximum output value, especially the new platform of Intel Capella after the release ofthe CPU Socket of $3 to $4, Hon Hai and Jiaze biggest profit source. In other notebook computer display adapter connector independent price in more than 1 U.S. dollars. Taiwan connector company profits of the top three are associated with the NBmanufacturers, respectively is the production of CPU Socket Ze, and NB connectorwith high proportion of Fanjia and acer. In the CPU Socket section, Hon Hai, Tyco,Molex, Jia Ze top 4 manufacturers in the world.
Mobile phone connector electronic components is important in cell phones, they aredirectly related to the quality of the mobile phone and its dependability. Mobile phonemost after-sales quality problems are mostly related with connector. Types of connectors used by mobile phone on the basis of its products vary slightly, the average quantity of use in about 5 ~ 15, the variety of products can be divided intointernal FPC connector and board to board connectors, the external connection of theI/O connector, SIM card connector, battery, and Camera Socket etc..
AMPHENOL is the first giant phone connector manufacturer, specializes in precision interface connection, such as a SIM card connector, SD card connection, USB connection, HDMI connection, RF conversion. Japanese manufacturers are good at isthe FPC connection and board to board connection, JAE and JST at PFC and TF Card connection. Panasonic's NAIS at the board to board connection, apple is its largest customer, Hirose is also good at the board to board connection. MOLEX is good at TF Card connection.
