The Increasing Penetration Rate of Press Fit Terminals: Enterprises Face the Dual Challenges of Demand and Quality
With the accelerated penetration of industries such as new energy vehicles, Industry 4.0, and 5G communications, connectivity technology has become a key factor in the core competitiveness of equipment. As a mainstream choice for solderless connection technology, pressfit pin terminals are experiencing rapid growth in a market worth tens of billions of dollars. Data shows that the global market size for press-fit terminals exceeded US$2.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to climb to over US$3 billion by 2030. The Chinese market boasts a compound annual growth rate of 7.64%, becoming a core engine of global growth.
Press Fit Terminals in New Energy Vehicles
In the field of new energy vehicles, press-fit pins have become key components of BMS battery management systems and high-voltage charging harnesses due to their “zero solder joint” advantage, with an application share of 32%. In industrial automation scenarios, their shock resistance and temperature resistance can meet the stringent requirements of robots and energy storage equipment, with market demand increasing by more than 5% annually. Besides, the continuous evolution of consumer electronics and medical devices towards miniaturization and high density has made the irreplaceable nature of fisheye terminals increasingly prominent.
However, while the market is experiencing rapid growth, the practical difficulties in technology application are becoming increasingly apparent. The severe vibrations during the operation of new energy vehicles, the high temperatures and humidity in industrial workshops, and the frequent use of medical equipment can all lead to poor contact, detachment, or aging of traditional press-fit terminals. These issues can range from minor equipment malfunctions and production delays to serious consequences such as recalls of millions of products, and even threats to personal and equipment safety. One new energy vehicle manufacturer received thousands of after-sales complaints within a year due to insufficient corrosion resistance of its terminals, damaging both its brand reputation and customer trust.
More challenging is the fact that the mid-to-high-end market has long been monopolized by international giants such as TE and Rosenberger, resulting in persistently high product prices. Meanwhile, low-priced, inferior products cannot guarantee quality, making it difficult for companies to balance “ensuring quality” and “controlling costs.”
