Connectors business: Leading Companies In India

Within the connector industry manufacturers are making connectors Home-Splash_Leading-Playerswith the latest technology. Makers of electronic connectors and other passive electronic components must rely on manufacturers of finished products to maintain favorable prices and provide a market for their goods.

An electrical connector is an electro-mechanical device for joining electrical circuits as an interface using a mechanical assembly. Connectors consist of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-ended). Due to the need for more durable products and the space crunch, compact connectors that deliver the same amount of power and efficiency as their bigger equivalents are increasingly in demand these days.

When an industry like the PC industry slows or is forced to reduce its prices, which was the case worldwide in the late 1980s and early 1990s, connector manufacturers have difficulty maintaining profits. But with the government’s increasing push to the electronics manufacturing sector, the growth in the connectors segment is expected to be tremendous in the years to come.
