The production and application of connector manufacturers is widespread and is an important aspect of the machinery industry. Here's a look at some of the connectors used in everyday life, which people are most often unaware of.
  
We can classify connectors according to shape such as bar connectors, circular connectors, rectangular connectors, and so on. There are also RF coaxial connectors, wire-to-wire connectors, thin-film cable connectors, flat cable connectors, and many more.
  
There are likewise different types of peripheral equipment according to usage; namely, computer equipment connectors, video/audio signal connectors, mobile phone connectors, power connectors, high-voltage connectors, automotive connectors and aviation connectors. Connectors obviously cover a wide range of applications.

Additionally, there are fiber optic connectors, microwave connectors, waterproof connectors, high temperature connectors, and so on. These connectors have excellent performance and are generally used in special applications.

Since there are so many types of connectors, what are the prospects for connector manufacturers in our country and the world? Experts say that the connector market is growing rapidly, driven by economic development in China and Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, and we can expect to see enormous growth in the coming years. In addition to the economic growth of these countries and regions, consumer connectors in digital homes, game consoles, etc. also contribute largely to the increase in the number of connectors.

Let’s look at one area of connector manufacturer development; i.e., the mobile phone sector. Connectors are one of the most important components of mobile phones. On average, the number of connectors required for each phone is eight, of which a larger quantity is used in smart phones. The current demand suggests that smart phones will dominate the market. Hence, this will determine the development direction of connectors in mobile phones, which should focus on low-height, multi-functionality, good electromagnetic compatibility, standardization and customization. Standardization and customization coexist to meet the user's individual requirements, while allowing replacement of mobile phone components. This shows that in addition to implementing gradual technical updates on connectors, humanization of technology has also improved significantly.
