With innovative connector technology, connector development showed the following characteristics: high-speed signal transmission and digitization, integration of various types of signal transmission products miniaturization of small volume and so on.
Range connector includes a very broad, covering communications, consumer electronics, aerospace, power, microelectronics, automotive, medical, instrumentation and other industries. On the communications industry, the development trend of the connector is a high speed, high density, low crosstalk, low impedance, zero delay.
The current mainstream connector supports transfer rates 6.25Gbps on the market, but in less than two years, the market leading communications equipment manufacturers will develop more than 10Gbps products, which connector higher requirements. Furthermore, the current mainstream density connector connector market is 63 pairs per inch differential signal, soon developed into 70 or 80 pairs of differential signals per inch.
Connectors are currently impedance of 100 ohms, but will be replaced by the 85 ohm future products. This type of connector, the biggest difficulty is the high rate of technology transfer but also to ensure a very low crosstalk under.
On consumer electronics, since the whole of the increasing miniaturization of connectors requirements are increasing miniaturization. FPC connector on the market mainstream spacing is 0.3 or 0.5mm, 0.2mm pitch this product has been popular. The biggest technical challenge is to ensure that products under the premise of miniaturization reliability.
But experts said that although the connector's largest technical difficulties is to ensure product under the premise of miniaturization reliability.
