With the rapid development of the electronic equipment and audio-visual equipment industries, connectors, as core components, directly affect the overall quality of products with their performance and reliability. NEUTRIK, as a globally renowned professional audio and video connector manufacturer, enjoys a high level of market recognition for its products in terms of stability and durability. However, for a long time, NEUTRIK's high-quality connectors have relied on imported materials, which not only increased the cost but also added uncertainty to the supply chain.
I. Background and Necessity of Domestic MaterializationUnder the tight global supply chain and the promotion of domestic policy, enhancing the localization rate of NEUTRIK connector materials has become a crucial measure for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and to ensure stable supply. The main challenges include:
Material performance requirements are high: NEUTRIK connectors are widely used in audio, stage equipment, and professional broadcast systems, and have strict standards for conductivity, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance.
The production process is complex: the manufacturing of precision plastic shells and gold-plated contact points requires high-precision processing equipment.
Consistency and Reliability: Domestic materials must undergo rigorous testing to ensure stable performance over the long term.
Chapter Two: Sharing Cases of Domesticization EnhancementConductive contact material
By introducing high-performance copper alloys and gold plating technology domestically, the domestic copper materials have approached the level of imported materials in terms of conductivity and corrosion resistance, and have been successfully applied to NEUTRIK XLR series and speakON series connectors.
Plastic shell and insulating material
Utilizing domestic high-strength nylon (PA) and engineering plastics, after passing temperature resistance, impact resistance, and aging resistance tests, it has successfully replaced some imported shell materials and achieved stable production.
Quality Control and Standardization
By establishing an inspection process for domestic materials upon entry, comparing them with import material standards through tests, we ensure that the connector performance is consistent with the original factory's specifications. At the same time, we establish a material traceability system to enhance production reliability.
Effectiveness and Market ResponseAfter continuous optimization, the domestic material usage rate of NEUTRIK connectors has been increased to 40%-50%, effectively reducing production costs while ensuring quality, shortening the procurement cycle, and enhancing supply chain stability. Many domestic audio and video equipment manufacturers have started to adopt domestic NEUTRIK connectors, and the market response has been positive.
Raising the domesticization rate of connector materials is not only an effective path for supply chain optimization, but also provides cost and lead-time advantages for enterprises in fierce market competition. Through the application of domestic high-performance materials, NEUTRIK connectors still maintain industry leadership in terms of performance, reliability, and stability, while achieving higher economic benefits.
