From Miniaturization to High-Speed Transmission: Connectors Empowering Next-Generation Robotics

The 2025 World Robot Conference recently concluded successfully, with robot and related product sales exceeding 19,000 units and total revenue surpassing 200 million RMB, highlighting the strong growth momentum of the industry.

Behind the robots displayed at the event are thousands of precision electronic components working in perfect coordination. As a core component, connectors are responsible for precise signal transmission and reliable power supply. For example, a typical humanoid robot with a height of approximately 1.3 meters integrates around 100 to 200 connectors internally, which are widely used in sensors, control systems, servo drives, and power management systems.

Key Capabilities Required for Robot Connectors

As robot applications become increasingly complex — including tight internal spaces, multi-sensor coordination, high-speed data processing, and continuous dynamic operation — connectors face higher design and performance requirements. To ensure efficient and stable system operation, connectors need to possess the following core capabilities:

1. Extreme Miniaturization
Compact designs enable integration into high-density internal spaces, ensuring flexible and feasible layouts for complex systems.

2. High-Speed, High-Frequency Transmission
High-speed signal transmission and excellent signal integrity ensure that sensor data is transmitted efficiently and without loss to the central processing units, supporting real-time computation and rapid response.

3. Exceptional Stability and Reliability
Strong anti-interference and high shielding performance guarantee long-term stability under vibration, temperature variations, and continuous dynamic operation.

4. Comprehensive Environmental Protection
Compliance with strict protection standards (e.g., waterproof, dustproof, salt-fog resistant) along with vibration and shock resistance ensures reliable connections in both indoor and outdoor environments.
