Treatment MeasuresTypes of Pollutants and Waste
Wastewater
Waste Gases
Noise
Mainly domestic sewage, a small amount of equip-ment cleaning wastewater, and cooling water for thefactory building construction project.
Both sewage and wastewater are centrally treated, and the cooling water for the project can be re-cycled and will not be discharged outside. Domestic sewage is pretreated by a septic tank and thendischarged into the municipal sewage interception pipeline network. It will not directly enter the waterbody, which complies with the national requirements for emission management standards.
Specic waste gas is generated in steps such as theinjection molding and grinding processes.
By strengthening the ventilation in the workshop and collecting the waste gas for centralized treat-ment, the generated organic waste gas is treated by a two-stage activated carbon adsorption deviceand discharged at a high altitude after meeting the standards. In addition, the primary air pollutantsemitted during the factory building construction project are mainly VOCs. Through accounting, the to-tal VOCs emission of the project is 0.0863t/a, which is a small amount, and the emission concentrationcan meet the ambient air quality standard, with little impact on the surrounding atmospheric environ-ment, and complies with the national emission standards.
Specic noise will be generated during the operationof machinery and equipment, such as high-speedpunching machines and mixers.
Strictly control and manage the noise in accordance with the requirements of the Emission Standardfor Industrial Enterprises Noise at Boundary (GB 12348-2008), and prevent and control the noise bymeasures such as installing vibration damping foundations for high-noise equipment and sound insu-lation of the factory building. During the Reporting Period, the noise detection outside the Company'sfactory boundary met the standards, which was lower than the Class 2 emission limit of 60dB(A) anddid not cause any adverse impacts on the environment.

The kitchen puried water system generates 1.5T of wastewater everyday. A water tank collects this wastewater for cleaning purposes,which can save 547.5T of water every year.Condensed Water Re-covery Technology of theCentral Air ConditioningSystem with Chilled Water
Storage
A 12T stainless steel water tank is built in the factory area to collect theair conditioning condensed water through the pipe network. An automaticwater level control system regulates the operation of the pressure pump,transferring the collected water to the air conditioning cooling tower asmakeup water. The daily collection amount of condensed water is about21T, with annual cost savings of about RMB 31,500.
The Company's chilled water storage projectwas completed and put into operation in May2024. It is expected to achieve annual peakshaving and valley lling of approximately 3.1million kWh of electricity for air conditioningand production equipment, transferring peakand flat-rate electricity to off-peak periods.This reduces peak load on thermal power gen-eration, equivalent to reducing annual CO2emissions by 2.41 million kilograms.
The Company invests in the construction of auser-side energy storage project. The energystorage battery unit of the project employs na-no-silicon solid lead batteries, which have theadvantages of high safety, long service life, andrecyclability and can effectively solve the indus-try pain point that electrochemical energy stor-age batteries are prone to fire and explosion.After being put into use, the project can fullyuse the peak-valley price difference in indus-trial electricity tariffs between day and night.The system automatically charges during off-peak nighttime periods and discharges to meetdemand during peak daytime hours, effectivelyaddressing the enterprise's instantaneous pow-er load demand for electricity during the day,reducing its instantaneous power consumption,and lowering its base electricity costs.

The DFMEA management method systematically analyzes each product component to pro-actively identify and evaluate potential failures and their effects during the design planning phase.Based on prioritized analysis results, targeted measures are taken to avoid or mitigate these risks ofpotential failure. The entire process is documented, continuously updated, and improved to provideempirical references for subsequent designs.
The Company continuously increases the intensity of R&D investment and invests in professional 3D design soft-ware, simulation testing systems, and high-end electrical and material testing equipment in the technical R&Dstage, which effectively shortens the product R&D cycle, reduces the material consumption in the R&D stage oftraditional connector products by leveraging the considerable data computing power for simulation testing, andeffectively ensures the rapid delivery of new products.

During practical applications of connectors, long dimen-sion chains in assembly mechanisms often lead to instal-lation deviations and misalignment of connection inter-faces. Additionally, scenarios such as high transmissionspeeds and mechanical vibrations in real-world use cancause distortion of signal transmission. The Company hasdeveloped a 0.5 mm pitch oating BTB connector with upto 120 contacts, featuring X, Y, and Z three-axis oatingcapabilities. This design effectively accommodates instal-lation deviations and ensures stable signal transmission.Its high precision and contact reliability meet the strin-gent requirements of automotive-grade environments,making it widely applicable in automotive ADAS, ECU,infotainment systems, and industrial PLCs.

The productweighs no more than 8 g, effectively re-ducing the volume and weight, making itmore suitable for electronic and mechan-ical equipment with strict weight require-ments. Meanwhile, it forms a exible con-nection solution with FFC/FPC, achievinga more compact product design.

Supply Chain Security StrategySupply Chain Risk Management
The Company has developed anEmergency Drill Plan for Externally Sourced Processes to address sig-nicant supply chain risks. This plan outlines targeted emergency measures and establishes a Procure-ment-Supply Emergency Response Team tasked with coordinating responses to sudden material shortag-es or considerable quality issues. Regular drills are conducted under the plan to strengthen departmentalpreparedness, ensuring teams can effectively mitigate disruptions. These efforts prevent material short-ages, delays in customer deliveries, and unexpected losses caused by inadequate or defective supplies.By doing so, the Company guarantees that materials are procured timely, efciently, and to the requiredquality and quantity standards.
Supply Chain Emergency Drills
On March 12, 2024, the Company’s Procurement Department conducted an emergency drill simulatinga critical supply chain scenario: abnormal terminal electroplating in the T2150T-S4W02 product and asudden supplier failure threatening customer delivery deadlines and urgent production line requirements.The Procurement Department swiftly collaborated across departments—including business, production,planning, and the emergency response team—to coordinate resources and timelines. To resolve thecrisis, the department activated vetted backup suppliers capable of meeting strict quality and deliverystandards, ensuring seamless material substitution. The drill concluded with successfully executing thecontingency plan, averting potential delays, and safeguarding production continuity.
