The connector is the basic component for current and signal transmission between electronic devices, and the bridge between electronic devices in various industries. It plays an important role. The classification of connectors in the market is complicated, such as according to shape and function, but it is more common to divide connectors into electrical connectors, microwave RF connectors and optical connectors according to different transmission media. The connector is generally composed of five parts, namely, shell, terminal, insulator, seal and tail accessory.
Connectors are widely used downstream. At present, domestic connectors are mainly used in automobile, communication, consumer electronics, industry, rail transit and other fields. Communication and automobile have always been the largest downstream application fields of connector products, and the application proportion of communication and automobile industry has remained above 20% since 2019; The market share of connectors in consumer electronics and industrial applications is in the middle, exceeding 10% in the past three years; The market share of connectors in the field of rail transit and military industry aerospace has remained stable at about 7% and 6%; Connectors are also widely used in other areas such as ocean engineering, white goods, commercial office equipment and instruments, among which white goods and ocean engineering are more widely used.
In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, automotive connectors are also favored by the market. The automobile industry can be divided into two sub sectors: new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. The main difference between the two is the drive and energy storage methods. The two modules are basically the same except for the new energy three electricity module and the fuel vehicle engine module.
Connectors are widely used in automobiles. Due to the safety requirements of automobiles, automobile connectors, especially those for new energy vehicles, need to have good mechanical properties and be able to work stably in high voltage, anti-interference and high current environments. The types of automobile connectors are very complex, and their functions are also different. They can be roughly divided into high-voltage power connector, low-voltage power connector, RF connector, high-speed connector and modular hybrid connector. The specific application breakdown is as follows:
In terms of connector use, new energy vehicles have more connector types and application scenarios than traditional fuel vehicles. With the popularization of new energy vehicles, the technology of automobile connectors has been upgraded. In addition to the traditional electrical connection, the functions of automobile connectors such as control, communication and computing have been increased, and the number and value of connector applications have also been improved. At the same time, we also found that the value of new energy vehicle connectors is much higher than that of traditional fuel vehicle connectors. According to the research of Beijing Zhongyan Century, the market scale of new energy vehicle connectors in China in 2018 has exceeded 2.9 billion yuan. In the future, as the penetration rate of new energy vehicles continues to increase, the market scale of new energy vehicle connectors will rapidly increase.
From the perspective of the market pattern of the global connector industry, the connector market is highly concentrated, and some large manufacturers have strong strength. Among them, the sum of the market share of the top ten enterprises exceeds 60%, and foreign-funded enterprises account for the majority. In the automotive field, the high-end market is still occupied by foreign enterprises, including Tyco, Molex, Amphenol, Yazaki, Rosenberg, Ambofux, etc; In recent years, under the guidance of national policies and the growing demand for the development of the downstream automotive industry, domestic enterprises have stepped up their pace of catching up and made remarkable achievements. Representative enterprises include Lixun Precision, Ruikeda, AVIC Optoelectronics, Aerospace Electronics, Changying Precision, Dianlian Technology, Derun Electronics, Yonggui Electronics, Hexing Electronics, Sichuan Huafeng, etc.
From the perspective of specific connector products, high-voltage connectors are an important category of connectors for new energy vehicles. At present, domestic high-voltage connectors have reached the level of international leading enterprises such as Tyco and Molex in terms of current resistance, voltage and protection grade. However, in terms of high-speed connectors for new energy vehicles, domestic brands are still unsatisfactory and foreign-funded enterprises are still in a leading position.
To sum up, with the emphasis of national policies and the layout of connector enterprises in the automotive field, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicle connectors will maintain steady growth in the future, with very broad development space.
