The U.S. automotive electronics market is $249.6 billion and is expected to grow to $391.4 billion in 2033. That’s a CAGR of 4.6% for the next decade. And again, that $390+ billion is just in the U.S. Obviously, as we see more electronics in vehicles, we’ll see more electronic connectors. USCAR and LV214 are the standards for automotive connector systems. However, both apply primarily to cable-to-cable and cable-to-board connector systems.

A Personal Reflection on Automotive Connectors
Some of my earliest exposure to automotive connectors was while working on my first car. It has been over 25 years since my father and I pulled a beat up old 1968 Mustang to the barn to rebuild. The engine wasn't special, with the stock inline 6 cylinder motor. (I am pretty sure that is the reason my dad allowed me to make that my first car.) His back in the day had a little more “pep in the step” and he would get in plenty of trouble driving the country roads around Southern … [Read more...]
