World Connector Company Ranking

1. Tyco————In 1998, AMP became the leader in the connector industry. The products are widely distributed in the industry, and are relatively strong in terms of automobiles, computers, peripherals and industries. Delivery/quality cannot be generalized. .
2. Molex———- as a terminal, the plastic shell started, so now the most sold in mainland China is the terminal plastic shell, is the world leader in consumer electronic connectors, but for most 5XXXX (made in Japan), 9XXXX (European), 7XXXX (American), 4XXXX (American) These materials are very scary. The quality is of course comparable.
3. Amphenol—– became the third world of connector world through mergers and acquisitions, and is very famous in military, aerospace/aviation, and communications. In 2005, it acquired Teradyne and increased its market in high-speed communication connectors. Competitiveness. But he does not have the same TYCO, MOLEX unified and website, different products, different branches, different websites, dozens of websites belong to AMPHENOL. There is a lot of headaches in product search, and the price is chaotic. However, because different branches are to some extent competitors.
4. FCI————– Connector fourth, also known as Famatong, was acquired by the US consortium last year and is relatively strong in terms of communication connectors and car connectors.
5. Samtac——— The most famous is the board-to-board product (pin header, row mother, etc.).
6. JAE————– Japan Aerospace Electronics, mainly for computer peripherals, automotive connectors and communication connectors, but in the mainland, mainly FPC and other precision connectors are more famous.
7. Phoenix——–German company is very famous in the terminal block, but it is expensive.
8. 3M————— American company, in the fiber optic HOT MELT, has a strong patented technology, and MBR connectors are also good.
9. Yazaki———-Japan, mainly in automotive connectors.
10. JST————- Japanese crimping terminals, mainly for wire-to-board terminals, plastic shells and WAFER, etc., there are many imitations in China. There are also some new products developed.
11. Hirose———Japan Hirose, except for military, aerospace/aviation, other industries have done it, but in the mainland, mainly FPC and other precision connectors are more famous.
12. Foxconn—— Taiwanese capital, connectors in the computer and peripheral industries are very powerful, other aspects are not good
13. Delphi.——–American company, basically only a car connector, went bankrupt last year.
14. ERNI———– German-owned company, OFFICE in Shenzhen, mainly for communication connectors and DIN41612.
15. SUMITOMO–Sumitomo, mainly as a car connector
16. HY————Korea Ranhu, the reason why he mentioned him is because he mainly likes line-to-board products such as MOLEX, JST, etc., and the price and delivery time are better.
17. KET————-Korean company, the reason why he mentioned him is because he mainly likes line-to-board products such as MOLEX, JST, etc., and the price and delivery time are better.
18. ITT———–Japan, the main thing I see now is his connector on mobile digital products such as mobile phones.
19. HARTING—–Germany Harding, mainly industrial connectors, such as DIN41612, HARD METRIC, etc.

At present, the biggest BTB in mobile phones is NAIS. HRS and SIM CARD are Amphenol. TYCO/AMP is not big in mobile phones. As for MOLEX, there is basically no market for mobile phones. I haven’t done a connector for a long time, and the market should not change much.

NAIS did a good job in the 0.5mm board-to-board, which led to the popularity of last year, but the 0.4mm aspect was not as good as MOLEX, and it was smashed by its local manufacturers JAE, HIROSE and so on. There are many reasons why MOLEX products are rarely used in the market. One of the more important reasons is that the production capacity that is basically interrupted by the big manufacturers, such as 51338 and its supporting series of products, can not be obtained by ordinary customers. In addition, MOLEX is well-known in the mobile phone market is the TF (MICRO SD) deck. Last year, there was no price at all. MOLEX’s PUSH-PUSH MINI SD design is also very distinctive and well known in the industry.
