　　保持接触：微型连接器，可以采取应变

　　复杂的电子控制已成为行业，如行业，医疗保健，数据服务，汽车和其他行业的规范。最终用户期望先进的功能和丰富多彩的，易于理解的用户界面。他们还期待极高的可靠性，即使适用的产品法规不授权使用合格的HI相关部件。设备故障可能危及安全或工业生产力，或可能只是破坏用户体验。在任何情况下，后果可能是严重的。

　　Connectors to rely on

　　Electrical connectors play a vital role in linking various subsystems like a single-board computer， expansion cards， touch-sensitive display， switches， lights and external data interfaces， and their performance has a direct effect on system reliability. Problems that can occur during assembly， such as bending of contacts， incorrect orientation or incomplete mating， can prevent connectors from maintaining perfect electrical connectivity.

　　In the field， shocks or vibration can cause momentary loss of contact between pins and receptacles， or may cause individual pins or the entire connector to separate. Connectors mounted on a moving subsystem， such as an inspection or surveillance camera， can be subjected to wrenching forces or repeated stresses that can result in connector failure. There are also environmental challenges such as temperature fluctuations， moisture， dirt or corrosion. Clearly， connectors must be robust enough to withstand these diverse hazards， to guarantee safe transfer of signals and power and so keep the equipment functioning as it should.

　　However， connector designers are also under constant pressure to achieve smaller footprints and lower profiles， as markets demand greater compactness and portability while at the same time clamoring for more powerful functionality.
