But he doesn't have a unified website like TYCO and Molex connectors, with different products, different subsidiaries, and different websites, totaling dozens of websites belonging to AMPHENOL.

In terms of mobile phones, the largest BTB currently is NAIS (Panasonic connector), HRS and SIM CARD are Amphenol, TYCO/AMP are relatively small in mobile phones, and MOLEX connectors have little market in mobile phones.

NAIS did a great job in 0.5mm board to board, resulting in last year's explosive situation. However, in terms of 0.4mm, it did not do as well as MOLEX, and was squeezed by local manufacturers such as JAE and HIROSE, leading to a declining trend. There are many reasons why MOLEX products are rarely used on the market, and one of the more important reasons is that the production capacity is basically cut off by large factories, such as 51338 and its supporting series products, which are generally unavailable to customers. In addition, MOLEX is well-known in the mobile phone market for its TF (MICRO SD) card slot. Last year, there was no price for goods. MOLEX's PUSH-PUSH MINI SD design is also very distinctive and well-known in the industry. http://www.guijiaoxian88.com
