Understand The Occurrence Of Terminal Blocks And Seek New Opportunities For Industry Development
Looking at the development of China's connection industry, the development of the early domestic electrical lugs row industry was closely related to national defense construction. In 1950-1970, the production of China's terminal lugs products was mainly composed of enterprises under the former Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Ministry of Aerospace Industry and local state-owned enterprises. The copper lugs produced were mainly used in electronic equipment such as radar equipment, communication equipment, navigation equipment, and electronic measuring instruments. After 1980, with the gradual development of China's electronics industry, the production of Aluminum Cable Lug was gradually applied to consumer electronic products such as black-and-white/color TVs. Since 1990, driven by China's foreign investment policies and incentives, Compression Cable Lug companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, and Europe have increased their investment in mainland China. Most global terminal manufacturers, including internationally renowned terminal companies such as AMP, MOLEX, BERG, and AMPHENOL, have transferred their production bases to mainland China. The massive influx of foreign investment has directly driven the rapid development of China's terminal industry. At present, China has more than 600 enterprises engaged in terminal production and processing (more than half of which are foreign-funded enterprises), with 200,000 employees. Shanghai Youle Electric Co., Ltd. has gradually emerged in many terminal industries and is unique in the industry.
With the gradual implementation of industrial revitalization policies, relevant personnel predict that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the demand and application areas of my country's terminal blocks will continue to grow and develop, traditional terminal blocks will grow at a rate of about 8%, and the development speed of PCB terminal blocks will remain at about 15%. Among many enterprises, there are leading enterprises with large scale, and their internal advanced science and technology and new terminal products on the market are constantly emerging. However, most of the domestic terminal factories still have many problems, such as:
The technical investment is relatively small, and the product replacement speed is relatively slow, which is related to the lack of relevant technical personnel within the enterprise and the enterprise's investment in technology.
The overall technology is backward. It mainly produces terminal products that have exceeded the patent protection period, and there are more imitations than innovations, with basically no breakthrough development.
Unbalanced product development. There are few high-tech and high-value-added products, few investment products, and many consumer products.
Unbalanced enterprise development. Enterprises with strong overall technical strength have low economic benefits; while labor-intensive assembly enterprises without independent development capabilities can still gain certain benefits by relying on large-scale production due to low labor costs and other factors.
Low added value of export products. With large export volume but low technical content, export manufacturers compete to lower prices with cheap labor costs, squeezing out limited markets.
To this end, we must make full use of the favorable policy environment and seek new breakthroughs from the following aspects:
First, let products occupy the market in good times and win business opportunities with intellectual property rights in bad times.
Second, aim at goals and expand markets.
Third, vigorously adjust product structure and promote industry and industrial adjustments.
Fourth, enhance independent innovation capabilities and cultivate core competitiveness.
In short, firmly believe: leading concepts, winning opportunities; leading talents, winning technology; leading technology, winning markets; leading markets, winning vitality. By recognizing the situation, working hard to adjust the structure and actively responding to the international financial crisis, the terminal block industry will surely achieve a breakthrough.
