The pin header and female connector has been active in the low-end market in my country. With the continuous improvement of product quality in the past two years, the connector has gradually entered the mid-range market. The development of pin header and female connector technology in China is relatively mature, so more connector manufacturers focus on domestic connector companies when purchasing, which is also self-sufficient. But even so, the competition between my country's pin header and female connector companies and their Asian counterparts has never stopped. Today, the world of plugging will tell you what problems are facing the current market competition of pin header and female connectors.

All in all, the competition faced by pin header busbar connectors can be divided into two aspects.

Threat of Substitutes At present, the main substitute for connectors is the terminal block, which is not a big threat to the mid-to-high-end market, but the competition for the mid-to-low-end market is very fierce. When buyers face cost pressure, they often use Currently relatively inexpensive terminal blocks replace connectors.

2. Enterprise profits are affected by the purchasers of extruded connectors between buyers and suppliers. The buyers are mainly product and equipment manufacturers. Their markets are highly concentrated and have a high degree of standardization. Their profitability is declining in the current market economic environment. Therefore, in the procurement process, the current information is often more transparent and the price is constantly lowered. Moreover, the main suppliers of the manufacturers of pin headers and female header connectors are raw material suppliers such as aluminum, copper, silver, gold and engineering plastics, which are relatively concentrated in the industry and have a high degree of standardization; buyers have a large transaction volume and differentiated products. The degree is small, the cost of switching sellers is relatively low; the possibility of forward integration is small, the information of both parties is relatively transparent, and in general, the bargaining power of the sellers is weak, which leads to relatively small profit margins for enterprises.

The pin header and female connector are usually plated with a special coating. Generally, they are gold-plated and tin-plated. So I believe that many people will ask what is the role of the pin header and female connector plating? In fact, the contact plating of the pin header can not only protect the pin header and reduce the corrosion of the environment, but also increase the pin header. The durability and wear resistance of the female, it helps to establish and maintain a stable pin header and header resistance from the electrical performance.
