What are the development factors driving the growth of BTB connectors in the 5G era?
As an indispensable part of electronic products, BTB connector has the characteristics of fast and stable transmission function and low loss and high fidelity. It acts as a bridge of communication in electronic circuits. The BTB connector inside the mobile phone mainly plays the role of connecting pcb, module, and motherboard to achieve mechanical and electrical connection. The advent of the 5G era has made BTB connector performance upgrades an inevitable trend. In order to adapt to the characteristics of high integration and small pitch in mobile phones, BTB connectors are also developing towards small pitches, multiple pin counts, and high-speed transmission.
Three major performances of BTB connectors: mechanical performance, electrical performance and environmental performance. Mechanical properties refer to the insertion and removal times, retention force, forward force, durability, vibration and mechanical impact of the BTB connector; electrical properties refer to the requirements of the contact resistance, insulation resistance, and electrical strength of the BTB connector; environmental performance Refers to the temperature and humidity cycle, thermal shock, high temperature resistance, and vibration resistance of BTB connectors.
The transition from 4G to 5G has accelerated the iteration speed of products in the consumer electronics industry. Smart phones, wearable device multi-function modules and high-speed development have promoted the development of BTB connectors. The increase of 5G smart phone functions, plus each module must be connected to the motherboard to achieve signal transmission, and factors such as high internal integration of the mobile phone, the demand for BTB connectors has greatly increased, while high-speed high-frequency transmission of BTB connectors It also has higher requirements.
The increase in 5G smart phone cameras will drive the growth of BTB connectors that connect the phone's camera module inside the phone. Multi-camera camera technology for smartphones has been fully popularized. Smartphones equipped with three-camera, four-camera, and five-camera cameras have been released one after another. The demand for BTB connectors is also growing. BTB connector.
Because the size of the BTB connector can be miniaturized and narrowly spaced, it can also maintain stable transmission capacity, which is suitable for the characteristics of thin and light mobile phones and compact internal space. 5G smart phone RF connection can use BTB connector to connect the antenna and RF front end to strengthen the signal strength, this demand increases the number of BTB connectors inside the phone by 1-2 pairs.
The increase in market penetration of wearable devices will also drive the growth of BTB connectors. Taking wearable smart watches as an example, display, touch screen, antenna connection, battery connection, microphone connection and other components that require connectors, BTB connectors The amount can reach 1-3 pairs.
In the manufacture of BTB connectors, qualification certification and testing are required to ensure the quality and performance stability of BTB connectors. For the testing of BTB connectors, a high-current shrapnel microneedle module can be used as a connection module, which can play a role in conducting current, and can maintain stable performance, and improve the testing efficiency of BTB connectors. In the 5G era, the demand for BTB connectors is growing rapidly, and the quality of BTB connectors should also be paid attention to. The BTB connector market, which is in an upward cycle, is expected to grow further in the future.
