Wafer connector usually refers to connector base (chip seat) connector, which is generally assembled by metal parts and plastic parts together, often used on PCB board, it is not like Hosing generally only plastic parts (some with iron shell), is assembled together with wire and terminal.

This is according to the name of the pedestal adopted by MOLEX company. MOLEX company is the developer of wafer connector, which is also called the original factory by domestic connector manufacturers. But why did many enterprises choose MOLEX company instead of domestic substitute manufacturers? The reason is that the technical difficulty of wafer connector is not high. In the case of transparent manufacturing process materials, the quality is about the same. Due to the globalization of the original factory layout and limited energy, the delivery time is not as fast as that of substitute manufacturers and the price is not dominant. So many manufacturers have chosen to replace the manufacturers.
