Wafer connector usually refers to the connector base (chip base) connector, which is generally assembled from metal parts and plastic parts, and is often used on PCB boards. Unlike Hosing, which only has plastic parts (some with iron shells), it is Assembled with wires and terminals.
This is based on the name adopted by MOLEX. Molex is the developer of wafer connectors and is also called the original factory by domestic connector manufacturers. But why many companies did not choose Molex, but chose a domestic alternative What about the product manufacturer? The reason is that the wafer connector is not technically difficult. In the case of transparent manufacturing process materials, the quality is almost the same. However, due to the globalization of the original factory layout and limited energy, there is no substitute manufacturer in the delivery time. Fast, the price is not dominant. So many manufacturers have chosen alternative manufacturers.
The wafer connector has a wide range of applications. Whether it is as small as a Bluetooth headset or as large as an airplane, it has its presence. Of course, its performance requirements are stable. The industry has always said: "The technical difficulty is not high. Stability is king".
