With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle (NEV) and intelligent connected vehicle industries, automotive connectors—serving as the "neural hub" of a vehicle's electronic and electrical systems—are seeing steadily growing market demand. Industry data shows that a single NEV uses three to five times more connectors than a traditional fuel-powered vehicle, spanning powertrain systems, body control, and in-vehicle infotainment, among other areas.

At the product technology level, waterproof PCB header connectors have become key components in body control modules, thanks to their excellent sealing performance and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Their highly reliable design, featuring PBT flame-retardant housings paired with brass tin-plated terminals, effectively ensures stable signal and power transmission under complex operating conditions.

Henan Jinhua Electric has been deeply engaged in the automotive connector field, with a product line covering waterproof PCB header connectors, 1.0/1.8/3.0 series PCB headers, glass lifter control module connectors, and custom plastic housings. Leveraging a strict quality control system and flexible customization capabilities, the company has supplied products to multiple OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Looking ahead, as localization accelerates, domestic connector manufacturers with independent R&D and rapid response capabilities will enjoy even broader market opportunities.
