Under the background of the increasingly diversified global industrial chain, the supply cycle, cost, and after-sales service issues of imported connectors are prompting more and more enterprises to try domestic substitution solutions. As an international brand with a century-long history in the electrical connection field, WECO has a stable and diversified product line (such as PCB terminal connectors, plug-in connectors, track terminals, etc.) that is widely used in industries such as industrial control, lighting, electricity, and building automation. However, in the domestic market, there is an increasing number of user feedback on the domestic substitution of WECO products.
The demand background for domestic substitutionCost pressure: Import connectors often have higher costs in terms of price and tariffs, especially in large-scale projects.
Delivery issue: The uncertainty in international transportation has increased, leading to delays in the delivery of some projects.
After-sales service and support: domestic substitute products are more likely to receive timely localization support and service response.
WECO connector domestic substitution application feedback1. Performance comparison
In practical applications, domestically produced substitute products have been able to approach and even match the electrical performance (such as voltage resistance, insulation resistance, contact resistance, etc.) of imported WECO products. Some customers have feedback that after small-scale trials and testing by third-party laboratories, the domestically produced substitute products have performed well in terms of stability and reliability.
2. Structure and process restoration degree
WECO's terminal blocks and plug-in products are rich in structural design details. Domestic substitute manufacturers can basically achieve interface compatibility through precision molds and process optimization, meeting customers' installation and interchangeability requirements.
3. Customer feedback
In the fields of energy storage systems, industrial automation control cabinets, LED lighting, and so on, some customers have feedback that domestic substitute connectors not only meet the functional requirements but also provide significant advantages in delivery cycle and procurement cost.
Section 3: Challenges and Improvement Directions of Domestic ReplacementAlthough domestic substitute products have made breakthroughs in most indicators, customers have also put forward some suggestions for improvement:
●The surface treatment process still lags behind imported parts.
●The lifespan and weather resistance still need to be improved under extreme conditions.
● Some high-end certifications (such as UL, VDE, etc.) have not been fully covered.
Domestic connectors replacing imports has become an industry trend, and in the replacement practice around international brands like WECO, customer feedback has been overall positive, especially in terms of cost-performance and delivery advantages. As domestic manufacturers continue to improve in terms of technology and reliability, the market acceptance of domestic replacements is bound to be further enhanced in the future.
