Connector manufacturers have always been at the forefront of sustainability. It started with replacing cadmium plating to meet RoHS requirements and soon expanded to using plastic regrind and bio-based plastics to replace 100% new plastic in connector bodies. Connector manufacturers have recently begun adopting new, more sustainable materials to create high-performance contacts.01【...

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...

Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things, IIoT, Smart Factory, these words are getting closer and closer to us. They are not just buzzwords; they are the next generation defining trend that is changing the manufacturing industry.Industrial automation is the direction of future development, and connectors play an indispensable part in realizing industrial automation. So the question is: why c...

Like most electronic components, the quality of countless sub components and processes directly affects the quality and performance of the finished product. For PCB level connectors, these factors include pin material, plastic type, quality of molded plastic body, coplanarity of tail, quality of surface finish (electroplating), selecting the correct connector electroplating, manufacturing/ass...
