Report Description

Bishop and Associates has released a new six chapter, 183-page report covering technology roadmapping on electronic connectors. Included with the Bishop Connector Roadmap report is the National Electronic Manufacturing Initiative's (NEMI1) 2002 Electronics Industry Roadmap on CD (1,100 pages).

During 2002, Bishop and Associates, Inc. worked with other industry experts to research and author a connector roadmap that became part of the National Electronic Manufacturing Initiative's 2002 Technology Roadmap Report.

Covered in the new report is a 10-year roadmap of selected elements of the electronic connector industry from 2003 to 2013, a review of connector technology trends, and a discussion of the roadmapping process. It contains PCB Connectors, backplane connectors, processor and memory test sockets power connectors, high-speed connectors, etc. It also includes an interpretation of the NEMI roadmaps' impact on connectors. The intent is to expand on this data for future reports, adding additional product categories, industry segment analyses, and support for the 2004 NEMI roadmap process.

The Connector Technology Roadmap Report includes insights into outsourcing to EMS, ODM and other subcontractors, and the move to high volume system manufacturing to China. It discusses how these dynamics will affect the connector industry, which is also increasing its presence in China to maintain customers and remain competitive. Questions emerge about the future of western manufacturing and RD&E infrastructure that supports these high volume markets. This is affecting standard product manufacturing and supply chains such as mobile phones and PDAs, notebook and desktop computers and PC motherboards, PC servers, computer peripherals, telecom equipment, etc. Even the increasingly competitive automotive sector will be subject to these trends.
