Development course of connectors
Connector products originated from American fighter manufacturing technology in 1939. With the development of consumer electronic products such as TV and telephone, connectors quickly expanded to consumer electronics, automobiles and computers. The connector industry in China sprouted in the 1940s. Before the reform and opening up, it was mainly used in military and aviation industries, and gradually applied to consumer electronic products after the 1980s. Since 1990s, connector manufacturers all over the world have gradually moved their production bases to China, and the connector industry in China has developed rapidly, and now it has become the largest connector market in the world.
