The emergence of technological innovation and the emergence of 5G has quickly arrived in the era of Industry 4.0, and many traditional industries have been impacted. The development of electronic connectors in the consumer electronics field can be said to be like fish. Come in. In the fierce competition in quantity, especially with the development of science and technology, the connector industry must also traditional technological transformation, which also brings more challenges to the connector manufacturer. Therefore, many connector manufacturers have continuously entered emerging fields such as industrial, smart home, new energy vehicles, medical electronics, etc., trying to seize the opportunity in the consumer electronics field and keep up with the pace of the times.
From the perspective of the connector market, more and more smart devices are applied to various production areas. The era of Industry 4.0 directly affects the needs of the connector market for products. More "high precision" and "high -performance" connectors are needed. And the growth rate is stable and fast.
With the advent of Industry 4.0 era, the electronic equipment of the data center does require sufficient flexibility of the interconnect system to cooperate in the limited environment, and at the same time, it can also bear the harsh industrial environment. Compared with military, medical, consumer, and automobile connectors, industrial connectors have many different characteristics, such as dustproof, waterproof, shockproof, high and low temperature, etc. The requirements of these characteristics will also increase the difficulty of connectors designers. Reliability, working temperature, IP grade, and shockproof performance are the focus of industrial connectors. Among these products, there are many strict standards to meet the car and even the military industry.
For "Industry 4.0" and "Intelligent Production" connector product solutions and technologies, they have put forward new requirements for module production areas related to "stamping, injection molding, assembly, and pressure connectors" related to the connector products. For example, for heavy -duty connectors, an increasingly rigorous application environment requires the excellent performance of traditional heavy load connectors, but also has a wider range of application scope and rapid and comprehensive service capabilities, which can be widely used in industrial production. Especially in the connection operation in harsh and complex environments, connectors need to meet the diversified needs of Chinese and global users in intelligent control devices.
With the high demand of customers in connector products, connector manufacturers are also improving production technology to adapt to adaptability in various harsh and harsh environments. In this calculation, coupled with the cycle and design difficulty of the new product of the connector designer, it will also greatly increase the cost of R \\u0026 D, which is not suitable for SMEs, so the comprehensive strength of the connector manufacturer will be tested. Obviously, the arrival of the era of Industry 4.0 has brought the challenges of technological research and development to the connector enterprise. In addition to the strict requirements of the environment, "high customization" is also a major challenge facing the connector industry.
