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.


Standard Products

  • Four DT-FS Series floating board-to-board connectors shown from different angles

    DT-FS Series

    High-Speed Transmission

    The DT-FS Series is a 0.5 mm pitch board-to-board floating connector with the receptacle stack height raised by 10 mm. It is capable of high-speed serial transmission equivalent to the SATA standard. When used in combination with a plug with a stack height of 20 mm, a stack height of up to 30 mm can be achieved.

  • USLS Series micro-coaxial cable connector terminated to a blue ribbon coaxial harness

    USLS Series

    Low Profile Stack Mating Type

    Our USLS series is 0.4 mm pitch, stack mating type micro coaxial cable connector.

  • XSL Series 0.25 mm pitch micro-coaxial connector pair with a green ribbon coaxial harness

    XSL Series

    0.25 mm pitch connector for micro coaxial cables/Horizontal mating type

    The XSL Series is a 0.25 mm pitch compact connector for micro coaxial cables. It is the industry’s smallest connector, and it saves space in the occupied area on board. The compatible cables are AWG#44/46.

  • TSL Series 0.55 mm pitch coaxial harnesses with orange ribbon cable and gold-plated connectors

    TSL Series

    0.55 mm Pitch, 32 Gbps High-Speed Transmission Next-Generation Harness

    Our TSL Series is a harness that enables 32 Gbps high-speed differential transmission at 1,000 mm length. The connector design is optimized to achieve high-speed transmission over long wires for 5G, IoT, and AI.
