What will be The Development Trend of Connectors in the Future?
As the chips develop at a high speed, meeting people's demands for powerful and compact products, the entire market is dominated by small, thin and compact products. This development trend has pushed connectors into a dead end. Not only will the development of connectors be forced towards small and thin directions, but the demand for connectors inside products will also move towards rapid elimination. Therefore, the future development of connectors must focus on the following two aspects:
Miniaturization of connectors
Miniaturization of connectors is an inevitable development direction, and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors will be the main focus. The powerful functions of mobile phones will lead the development of the Internet of Things and reshuffle the market in the future. From the perspective of mechanical development, FPC connectors will meet the functions of most products in the future. Therefore, after a qualitative leap in the function of FPC connectors in the future, the demand for small, thin and compact FPC products will greatly increase, making FPC connectors the mainstream development direction of connectors in the future.
The external direction of connectors
In the short term, the irreplaceable connector should be the external connector, which will be dominated by the TYPE-C connection. Even Apple, which has traditionally maintained a closed ecosystem, will replace its mobile interface with a TYPE-C interface. The functionality of TYPE-C connectors is becoming increasingly powerful. They not only carry signals and small currents, but also gradually realize the fast-charging function, and step by step replace the large-capacity charging interface of the computer. According to the ideas of the connector industry association, in order to save energy and avoid unnecessary resource waste, the unification of all mobile interfaces and even computer interfaces to TYPE-C interfaces have been gradually promoted. In the future, TYPE-C will not only be used for charging mobile phones and computers, but will also replace more external interfaces. As chip functionality continues to strengthen in the future, causing product functionality to be highly concentrated, it is likely that a product will only have one external interface, and TYPE-C may become the best-selling product in the connector industry.
