Example of In-vehicle equipment with micro coaxial cable

Automotive

Connectors used in developing next-generation EVs, especially for infotainment, need to be compact as well as to meet high-speed transmission and durability requirements, as these requirements increase each year.

KEL produces connectors optimized for next-generation EVs, using ultimate reliability cultivated through the development of connectors for infrastructure and advanced transmission technology acquired through the development of connectors for cameras.

We have a proven track record in the automotive market with our floating connectors as well as for our micro coaxial cable connectors which are used globally.


Infotainment

Infotainment

As the complexity of in-vehicle systems increases with new vehicle screens and vehicle navigation systems, connectors must allow high degree of freedom in product design.

KEL’s connectors offer the industry’s smallest sizes, multiple positions, multiple mating methods, and high reliability, making new infotainment devices possible.

Automotive Devices

Automotive Devices

KEL connectors have long been applied in in-vehicle devices requiring stable performance and high durability. This is because they meet the necessary compactness and high-speed transmission performance while maintaining a high level of durability.
