Headquartered in Osaka, Japan, JST is known as Nippon Crimp Terminal Manufacturing Co. In 1957, the founder of the company, Mr. Teeji Takahashi, named "Crimp Terminals" after "Terminals for Solderless Connections for Electricity", and thus started the first production of Crimp Terminals in Japan. The name "Crimp Terminal" was then popularized in the connector industry in Japan. The Japanese Industrial Standard JIS has the specification and name "Crimped Terminals" from the above product name. With the rapid development of the electronics industry in Japan, "connection technology", which began with the production and mass production of Pressed Terminals, has gained even more momentum, and the product line has continued to make significant progress. The field of connection technology has been expanding, and now includes the manufacture of crimping machines, crimping tools, crimping machines, etc., as well as the manufacture of continuous terminals and various types of connectors. Some of its products are technologically advanced, and it has maintained its position among the world's top ten in the industry, with a global production, R&D and service network.
