Wearable technology has rapidly propelled the consumer electronics and aerospace industries into a new era. From health-focused smartwatches to revolutionary AR glasses utilized in aviation training, wearables are interwoven in myriad sectors, including military, gaming, and medicine. Their transformative impact on performance and efficiency is unparalleled.

At Bead Electronics, we are constantly evolving to answer the intricate questions of our clients and assist them in understanding the diverse applications and potential of hollow bead pins. Recently, we received a thoughtful query about the nature of these pins and how they could be secured within an assembly.

There’s the old adage of fitting a square peg into a round hole to describe something that doesn’t quite fit in a particular place. But Bead’s engineers have established that sometimes, a square pin can be the perfect solution for ensuring durable and lasting connectivity when placed into a hole.

In 2022, the global mobile messaging app user base exceeded 3.6 billion, highlighting the growing dependency on connectivity for communication applications. The performance of these applications is highly dependent on the quality of the hardware components, one of which could be an overmolded electrical or electronic connector. This critical component is instrumental in providing a reliable connection between system components.

Sensor-based lighting systems have transformed the lighting engineering sector by providing more efficient and sustainable solutions. To achieve optimal performance, the choice of electrical connectors is crucial. The connectors act as the critical link between the sensors and the rest of the system.
