In the large family of connectors, there are many different types, and each type of connector has its specific application fields, and Wafer connectors are no exception. So what exactly is a Wafer connector? The following Kunshan Connector Electronics Co., Ltd. engineers will come to popularize what is a Wafer connector for you.
CNT points out that the Wafer connector usually refers to the connector base (chip seat) connector, which is generally assembled by metal parts and plastic parts, and is often used on PCB boards. Unlike Hosing, there are only plastic parts (with Iron shell), is assembled with wire and terminal.
This is based on the name of the seat body adopted by MOLEX Company. Molex is the developer of wafer connectors, and is also called the original factory by domestic connector manufacturers. However, why many companies do not choose Molex, but choose domestic alternatives? The reason is that the technical difficulty of wafer connectors is not too high.
In the case of transparent materials such as design and production process, the quality is almost the same. However, the original company has a global layout and limited energy, the delivery time is not as fast as that of alternative manufacturers, and the price is not dominant. Therefore, many manufacturers have chosen alternatives.
Wafer connectors have a wide range of applications, whether it is as small as a Bluetooth headset or as large as an airplane. Of course, the performance requirement for it is stability.
There is a saying that has been said in the industry: "Technical difficulty is not high, and stability is king." If you need a stable wafer connector, you might as well go to CNT to have a look, 100,000 hours without failure, it is worth knowing about it.
