Tiny connectors and wiring harnesses are the "neural networks" of electronic devices. From signal transmission in consumer electronics to power supply in industrial equipment, these precision components silently underpin the efficient operation of global smart manufacturing. Held at the Munich Exhibition Center from November 18 to 21, 2025, Productronica 2025 (Germany Munich Electronic Production Equipment Exhibition) – hailed as the "Technological Olympics in the field of electronic manufacturing" – served as the ultimate window to observe industry development. Wenzhou JKUN Connector Co., Ltd. also captured the future direction of electronic connection technology at this global event.

1. Global Event Kickoff: A Technology Bellwether for Electronic Manufacturing

As the world’s only professional exhibition covering the entire value chain of electronic component production, Productronica has been leading the development trend of the electronic manufacturing industry since its first edition in 1975. This year’s exhibition attracted over 1,600 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and regions worldwide. Spanning 108,000 square meters, the exhibition area was divided into five professional zones: PCB & Electronic Manufacturing Services, Surface Mount Technology, Cable, Coil & Hybrid Technology, Semiconductors, and Future Manufacturing, comprehensively showcasing innovative achievements across the entire industrial chain from product development to services.

Notably, Productronica 2025 was held concurrently with SEMICON Europa 2025 (Germany Munich Semiconductor Exhibition), creating a strong synergy that built an all-round platform for technical exchange and cooperation among global electronic manufacturing professionals. Compared with previous editions, the number of exhibitors increased by 16%, which intuitively confirms the core influence of the Munich Electronic Exhibition in the global electronic manufacturing industry. The exhibition’s theme of "Automation and Smart Factories" also clearly reveals the core trend of the electronic manufacturing industry towards interconnection, autonomy, and data-driven transformation.

2. Trend Decoding: Three Core Innovation Directions of Electronic Connection Technology

In Munich’s exhibition halls, innovations in electronic manufacturing equipment emerged one after another. As basic core components, connectors and wiring harnesses have seen increasingly clear directions for technological innovation, with three key trends becoming the focus of the industry.

Driven by Automated Production: Precision and Consistency as Hard Requirements

The popularization of automated production has set higher adaptation standards for connectors. The automated wiring technology displayed by companies like Q5D at the exhibition – which uses robotic systems to accurately lay and fix bare wires or insulated wires directly on various components – achieves full automation and precision in wiring harness production. This requires connectors to have extremely high precision and consistency to perfectly adapt to the rigorous requirements of fully automated assembly processes.

Forced by High-Performance Scenarios: Upgraded Adaptability to Extreme Working Conditions

The rapid development of new energy, high-speed data transmission, and other fields has exposed connectors to more extreme working condition challenges. High-voltage connectors must withstand voltages of up to 1000V; high-speed data connectors need to be compatible with protocols such as FAKRA, HSD, and Ethernet; and connectors for outdoor and harsh environment applications must meet an IP67 or higher protection rating to ensure stable equipment operation.

Promoted by Equipment Upgrades: Parallel Development of Miniaturization and Lightweight

The increasingly compact design trend of electronic devices has made micro-connector solutions a hot topic at the exhibition. Various miniaturized and lightweight connection technologies were unveiled, realizing reliable connection functions in limited spaces and unlocking more possibilities for design innovation in consumer electronics, smart homes, and other devices.

3. Strategic Alignment: JKUN’s Connection Solutions Precisely Match Industry Needs

The industry trends presented at Productronica 2025 are highly aligned with Wenzhou JKUN’s strategic layout. Having deep roots in the electronic connection field for many years, JKUN has long built targeted product and service systems around core industry needs.
