Automotive Connectors To Drive Automation In Automotive Sector

The global automotive connector market was valued at a high CAGR of 4.5% during the period 2019-2024. Change in auto industry trends fueled by electrification in vehicles is enabling a huge market growth throughout the forecast span. Moreover, ongoing developments in the semiconductor industry propels the demand for electrical connectors.

For instance, in July 2019, Panasonic Corporation came up with a mass production of “Board to FPC Connector” that enables design enhancements with a few components and employing a small number of manpower for vehicle assembly. Owing to increase in use of daylight running lamps, there were changes in protocol pertaining to automotive LED lights in Japan and Europe in the last few years, which in turn impels in a high demand for FPC connectors. Panasonic’s design results in a unique structure that ensures a direct connection between the board and FPC. The connector reduces dependency on wire and hardware for relaying mechanical energy thereby reducing vehicle’s weight and lowering fuel consumption. The metal terminal structure is unique in structure that enables a direct connection between the board and FPC thereby eliminating the need for any harnesses. The global market witness loads of opportunities in terms of FPCs that have enhanced the design of daylight running lamps, vehicle compartment instrument boards, rear lamps, etc. Therefore, the unique structure limits the use of complex components and tedious labor.
