This 221 -page five-chapter research report providing a detailed analysis of the worldwide market for rectangular input/output connectors. This timely report furnishes sales data by region for the years 2022, 2023, 2024F, and forecasts for 2029F, broken down by key applicable connector types.
The world rectangular I/O connector market is complex and diverse. While products developed several years ago including D-subs, micro-, nano-, and Thunderbolt connectors are experiencing growth, a few are in rapid decline, while several newer products are expanding fast including small form factor types (SFP, SFP+, etc.) HDMI, and other multi-media connectors, M.2 packaging for solid state drives, etc. To illustrate technology, production now includes M24308 D-sub equivalents with RF performance to 110 GHz -- in standard Size 20 contact cavities -- for 5G, SATCOM, radar, and test instrumentation.
The report covers sales data for 2022 and 2023 with sales forecast for 2024F and 2029F, for primary types of rectangular connectors, and -- for the first time -- data also includes sales of cable assemblies, reviews distribution, and analyzes major counterfeiting problems. The report covers US and international specifications applicable to rectangular I/O connectors. Major manufacturers are listed with reviews of key suppliers.
Both technology and economics have pushed rectangular I/O connectors to the forefront of increased application use. Rectangular (or square) connectors can offer over 21% more space than equivalent circular connectors. SWaP-C prompts for density gain and weight reduction have led to EN4165 replacing D38999 circulars and rectangular EN3682 and EN4644 giving ARINC 600 real competition for newer airframe and ground vehicle communication interconnection. Major appliance connectors are improving reliability by incorporating interconnect reliability position assurance concepts used by automotive connectors. White goods growth is prompting sales of RAST and glow-wire connectors. Computers, vehicles, and even weapon systems are incorporating USB-C within a variety of enclosures.
This report is intended for use by those interested in forecasting rectangular I/O and power rectangular connectors by product and industry trends, or for benchmarking comparative sales by product or worldwide versus regional markets. Content includes information on creative specials that will become tomorrow's standards.
