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

  • DUS Series

    DUS Series

    Industry’s Top-Class Narrow Pitch

    The DUS series can move ±0.4mm in the XY directions, and can absorb deviations in equipment assembly tolerances. Available in 40, 80, 100, 120, 140 number of contacts. The terminal pins on the bottom of the receptacle are covered, preventing foreign matter from entering and enabling pattern wiring under the bottom of the contact. Effective mating length of the DUS series is 0.8 mm, ensuring reliability during mating. The stack height is 3mm.

  • DT-E Series

    DT-E Series

    High-Speed Transmission compatible 0.5mm pitch floating connector / type with power terminal

    Our DT-E Series support 0.5mm pitch floating connector type with power terminal. There are 4 terminals for power supply, and current rating is 6.0A per terminal.

  • DT-FS Series

    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.

  • 8929E Series

    8929E Series

    1.27 mm pitch, connector for discrete cables

    The 8929E series is a 1.27mm pitch crimp connector for discrete cables offering a more cost effective and higher current capacity than flat cable. Compatible cables are AWG#26/28/30.
