Board to board connectors are currently the connector products with the strongest transmission capacity among all types of connector products, mainly used in industries such as power systems, communication networks, financial manufacturing, elevators, industrial automation, medical equipment, office equipment, home appliances, and military manufacturing.

At present, the main spacing between board to board connectors is 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.635mm, 0.8mm, 1.00m, and 1.27mm.

The current development trend of board to board connectors is analyzed from the following aspects. On the one hand, many electronic product fields cannot do without board to board connectors. The development of industrial automation and the presence of board to board connectors in various fields have huge demand in the future, so the development process of board to board has obvious advantages; On the other hand, whether it is single slot, double slot, or side plug board to board connectors, they all belong to high-tech products, mainly used in industries such as power systems, communication networks, financial manufacturing, elevators, industrial automation, medical equipment, office equipment, home appliances, and military manufacturing.

Board to board market analysis is a scientific and systematic work that directly affects the planning of enterprise development strategies, the design of product marketing plans, the formulation of company investment policies, and the determination of future development directions. Market analysis is not simply an evaluation of the market from a certain level. To obtain practical and guiding conclusions, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the market from a professional perspective. This is the only way to maintain a clear development mindset, without getting lost in the complexity of information, and to stand undefeated in the increasingly fierce market competition. Jingcheng Precision is a first-line connector company that integrates research and development, production, and sales. The company mainly produces connectors such as double slot board to board, single slot board to board, and side plug board to board, with a complete range of specifications and models.

For consumers, connectors may seem unfamiliar, but they are the most commonly used product by electronic engineers. Connectors are essential components in most electronic products, responsible for transmitting current, voltage, or optical signals. They have a wide range of applications, including aerospace, automotive, industrial, 3C, medical, and other industries. According to relevant data statistics, the global connector market size was 53.5 billion US dollars in 2016. Driven by industries such as 5G data communication, automotive, and industry, the demand for global connectors continues to grow. It is expected that the global connector market size will reach 60 billion US dollars in 2020. Due to China's development into a global connector market, the three major industries driving connector growth in recent years are 5G communication, electric vehicles, and Industry 4.0. This is a rare market opportunity for connector companies.

1、 High frequency and high-speed connector technology

In many 5G communication applications, connectors bear the responsibility of converting optical and electrical signals. With the advent of the 5G Internet of Things era, the high data and transmission requirements of 5G inevitably require performance upgrades of connectors, and high-frequency and high-speed characteristics have become new requirements.

2、 Wireless transmission connector technology

In the era of the Internet of Things, wireless technology will also be ubiquitous. In addition to the traditional contact based connection method, connectors will also ensure wireless transmission in many applications such as industry and automobiles in the future, as dual protection is the safest.

3、 Smaller and more convenient connector technology

Previously, connectors were used for numerous contacts, filling many expansion card slots. However, in the 5G era, a fiber optic device may have dozens of connectors, requiring smaller connectors to achieve higher performance connections

4、 Connector technology with higher sensitivity and lower cost

Due to the high safety requirements of automobiles, automotive connectors are already a very large market. With the development of electric vehicles, connectors will have higher precision and cost requirements, and they will be more popular than previous connectors.

5、 More intelligent connector technology

With the advent of the AI era, connectors may not only achieve simple transmission functions. In the future, in switch mode power supplies, in addition to ensuring the data of electrical signals, connectors may be able to perform simple intelligent judgment and protection, output correct data while avoiding power damage. Of course, this requires the support of IC technology.

6、 Automated production technology for connectors

In traditional connector design and production, manual labor is the main part, but with the development of industrial automation, especially in precision machining, grinding tools, and CAD of connectors, these advanced machines will become the main force of the industry.

Connector companies have ushered in new development opportunities

As a very basic electronic device, connectors will provide a new market for enterprises compared to the slowly growing application markets such as computers and mobile devices. Fveek Electronic Engineering Network editors believe that they are the 5G communication, automotive, and industrial markets respectively. Nowadays, the capacity of China's connector market is gradually expanding, maintaining a double-digit growth trend every year, with enormous potential.

5G will be another key factor in the explosive growth of the communication market. Connectors carry the task of data connection between computers and terminals in communication. In data communication, wired and wireless communication coexist, which means that the demand for wireless connectors will increase significantly, and connectors will continue to grow in communication devices. In automotive applications, due to the demand for connectors in car entertainment systems and electric systems, in addition to transmitting data between engine management systems, equipment, etc., connectors are also needed between in car entertainment systems, electronic devices, etc. Industrial connectors need greater reliability and performance. With the construction of industrial Internet, more robust connectors are needed between hard industrial equipment and networks, and they have new requirements for connector performance.

To seize these opportunities, enterprises need to address the six major technical challenges listed above. Connectors do not necessarily need to possess these technologies simultaneously. Different markets may have different requirements, and as the market advances, these demands will gradually be implemented.
