As the way things are going today and in the future, more and more functionality is being squeezed into smaller spaces. Every industry, including automotive, consumer products, data centers, and medical devices, is being impacted by the trend toward miniaturization.Miniaturization is about integrating increasingly complex features and functions into ever-shrinking device spaces.Designer...

Connectors are a type of component that our electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with; its function is very simple: to build a bridge of communication between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current can flow and the circuit can achieve the predetermined function. Connectors are indispensable components in electronic devices. If you observe along...

According to statistics from Bishop & Associates, automotive connectors account for 23.70% of the global connector industry, surpassing communication connectors to become the largest connector market.Automotive connectors are widely used in power systems, body systems, information control systems, safety systems, and vehicle-mounted equipment.As the trend of automotive intelligence accelerates...

There are many reasons for poor contact in electronic products. It may be poor contact within the components themselves, or poor contact when the components are interconnected, or poor contact caused by cold soldering (usually between components and PCB). Poor contact between connectors (connectors) is the most common reason.Connectors are generally connected through pin contacts and hole contacts...
