Several problems facing Chinas fuse industry at present

In the past ten years, China’s fuse industry has benefited from the rapid development of China’s economy, the rapid development of electronic products, and the rapid development of China’s own huge market. The Chinese market has become the most important market for global fuses. In this era of rapid development, fuse manufacturers must How to face market competition and industry development challenges?

1. Safety certification

There are four main aspects here. The cost of safety certification for fuse manufacturers is the main problem; U.S. products cannot be CCC, and the legal use of U.S. products in China is problematic; UL listed and UR approved products can legally enter the European market; Europe All countries have feasible channels for the import and use of U.S. regulatory products.

2. Environmental protection issues, lead-free products

Environmental protection is an unavoidable problem in all industries, and the fuse industry is no exception. Lead-free products are an inevitable trend, which will have four impacts: A. The manufacturing process will affect some of the performance of the fuse. Product design adjustments require re-testing and evaluation; B. Re-apply for safety certification issues; C. Product cost changes, which will drive a series of chain reactions in the market; D. Excessive measures for new material numbers and old material numbers, this Test the internal management of fuse manufacturers.

3. Market order

The market price competition is continuous and fierce. The domestic market is mixed with dragons and snakes. There are many fake factories, even fake and inferior. This has created a bad reputation for small Chinese fuse companies. The China Fuse Association needs to play a greater role in maintaining a good market and ensuring The healthy development of the industry.

4. Technological progress

The rapid development of the market requires more functions of the fuse, which involves the development of new products, product quality, manufacturing technology, experimental technology, creative inventions, scientific research and other inventions. At present, Shenzhen Xucheng Electronics is dealing with problems in this area. Preferably, its laboratory is one of the two laboratories accredited by VDE in China.

5. Technical standards

The current coverage of China's CCC certification is too small. GB9364.1/.2/.3-97 needs to be revised in time, and GB9364.4/10 needs to be revised and improved as soon as possible; there is no technical standard for American products.

6. User awareness

Many engineers have very little understanding of fuse products, little understanding of its functions and parameters, and unclear understanding of the differences with other protection components, and they are not accurate in the exact selection of fuse; many engineers protect the fuse Insufficient understanding of functions and their necessity, using counterfeit products under cost pressure, or even not using them, is not conducive to the healthy development of the industry.

7. Globalization

Local/ethnic/national protection awareness restricts the circulation of products and is not conducive to technological development; the progress of the unification of European regulations and American regulations is slow.

8. Localization

There is a lack of vertical and horizontal communication in technology, management, and innovation; some materials, technologies, processes, and equipment still need to be imported; labor costs are rising year by year, and it is inevitable to replace manual work with machines, and the ultimate trend is automation.
