At present, the high-speed connector market is mainly in the hands of Europe, America, Japan and other countries. Due to its early entry into the industry, rich technology accumulation, and stable customer relationships with various industries, the industry access threshold for automotive high-speed connectors is relatively high. , mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Technical barriers
High-speed connectors have rich technical accumulation and inherent advantages, which are reflected in their ability to rapidly develop molds and production, and their leading technical level and rich testing experience will directly affect product quality stability and supply speed. , which ultimately affects the cost of the product. High-speed response to downstream customer needs has also become one of the must-have conditions for miniature electrical connector companies.
2. Financial barriers
The single value of the connector is not high, but the development of the connector involves research and development, mold design and development, production and manufacturing, etc. The equipment is relatively expensive, and the unit price of some equipment is more than one million, so it must have large-scale production and strong capital scale investment. Significant advantages, so the industry has high industry barriers.
3. Long verification period and strict standards
Passenger cars are durable goods, so they have stricter requirements on the quality and stability of parts and components. Generally, the life cycle of the power platform of a vehicle manufacturer is 5-7 years, and the vehicle manufacturer has established a relatively complete internal system. Quality evaluation and certification system, from product certification to batch supply, the whole process generally takes 1-2 years.
7. Summary
The development of smart cars has become a market trend, and the generation of massive data will surely breed more industrial applications. Since the lack of cores has eased in the fourth quarter of 21, the passenger car parts sector has ushered in a difficult situation. The layout is in line with the market development trend and looking for the certainty of industry growth will greatly reduce investment risks. There is no doubt that the future of high-speed connectors has traces to follow.
