Press-Fit Connector Market Research, 2032
The Global Press Fit Connector Market size was valued at $8.7 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $13.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2023 to 2032.
A press-fit connector is a type of electrical connector used to join electronic parts or printed circuit boards (PCBs) mechanically securely and effectively without soldering. These connectors are made to be forcefully placed into appropriately sized holes on a PCB or other matching components in place of soldering. This creates a solid mechanical connection.
The communication and networking industry has a strong need for press fit connectors because they promote improved connection and dependability. The compliant-pin technology is being used by Syneo, a maker of precision tools and machinery, to create dependable electromechanical interconnects without the need of solder. This is accomplished by inserting a specially stamped terminal into a printed circuit board (PCB)'s plated-through hole (PTH). Additionally, innovations in connection technology are enhancing device performance and providing better space-utilizing options. For Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) applications, such as supercomputing and high-speed networking, the press-fit connector manufacturers are creating high-speed end connectors.
The need for high-speed connectivity is being further fueled by the rising usage of consumer electronics such as‐¯digital cameras, printers, TVs, gaming consoles, and linked devices like laptops, tablets, PCs, and smartphones. Advanced connections have become available in the market to enable quicker, more effective, and more compact interfaces to satisfy these needs. Thus, as demand for computers, networking equipment, cloud servers, and complex electronics rises in the telecommunications industry, so does the need for press-fit connection devices.
