The future development trend of automobile connector

Automobile connector is a kind of component that electronic engineering technician often contacts. Its function is very simple: in the circuit is blocked or isolated between the circuit, build a bridge of communication, so that the current flow, the circuit to achieve the intended function. The form and structure of the automobile connector is ever-changing, which is mainly composed of four basic structural components, namely: contact piece, shell (depending on the variety), insulator and accessories. In the industry is usually called sheath, plug, plastic shell and so on.

There are nearly 100 kinds of connectors needed by ordinary cars, and there are about hundreds of connectors used by a single model. As people have higher and higher requirements on safety, environmental protection, comfort and intelligence of automobiles, the application of automobile electronic products is increasing, which will make the application of automobile connectors increase.

The accessories are divided into structural accessories and installation accessories. Structural accessories such as clamping ring, locating key, locating pin, guide pin, connecting ring, cable clamp, sealing ring, sealing gasket, etc. Install accessories such as screws, nuts, screws, spring rings, etc. Most accessories have standard parts and common parts. It is these four basic structural components that enable the car connector to act as a bridge and operate stably.

From the purpose of the use of the car connector, in order to ensure a better car driving, we can divide the reliability of the connector into the sealing performance of the connector in use, the performance of the car's fireproof flower in driving, in addition, in the driving of the car, the connector can also show the shielding performance and temperature control performance. In general, when discussing the property of automotive connector seal, it is not only about the airtight property of water in automobile.

Automotive Connector Seal

At present, the global automobile connector industry accounts for about 15% of the connector industry, which is expected to take a larger proportion in the future driven by automobile electronic products. In terms of product cost structure, the average connector cost of each vehicle in China is only a few hundred yuan, and the connector cost of each vehicle in foreign countries is about $125 ~ $150, so China's automobile connector market still has great development potential. In the future, each car will have between 600 and 1,000 electronic connectors, far more than today.

China is expected to become an important manufacturing base for automobile connectors in the future. In addition to the existing well-known international factories, other manufacturers that have not yet set up factories in China will gradually set up production bases in China to supply local auto parts manufacturers due to the increasing local demand, localized procurement, cost advantages and other factors.

Therefore, in the future, China's automobile connector industry will be a highly competitive market for foreign enterprises and local Chinese enterprises. China will also become one of the important production countries of automobile connectors under the development of foreign enterprises and local enterprises. The future of local enterprises, foreign enterprises, three - funded enterprises who will become China's car connector hegemony, we wait and see.
