Connectors that are compact, durable, stably connected, and capable of high-speed transmission are essential for the high-precision cameras, GPS and other navigation systems, and various sensors used in drones.
KEL produces connectors for the cutting-edge drone market. In addition to a wide range of compact connectors, we have many years of experience in ultra-compact connectors, enabling high-speed transmission characteristics and providing stable connections for car navigation systems.
Cameras for Drones
Small cameras for drones need to be able to support high-resolution images while at the same time making the aircraft smaller.
KEL’s micro coaxial cables are highly flexible and can support high-speed transmission characteristics while keeping the connector part ultra-compact to achieve high image quality.
GPS Modules, Navigation Systems, Sensors
With each new generation, drones become smaller while incorporating more sensors and instruments, making their boards increasingly densely populated with components.
KEL’s micro coaxial cable connectors use hair-thin cables that can be freely routed inside a drone’s small chassis. If our floating connectors are used, the floating mechanism absorbs mounting tolerances and can withstand shocks such as dropping.
Standard Products
-
FW Series
IP67 5.0 mm pitch waterproof connector
The FW Series is an IP67 compact waterproof connector with a 5.0 mm pitch. It is the industry’s smallest compact and low-profile waterproof connector with a 5.0 mm pitch. Mating the plug side connector (FWP11) with the branch/relay type (FWB01) reduces wiring inside the housing. The compatible cables are AWG#16/18/20/22.
-
FWSA Series
2.0mm Pitch IP67 Waterproof Drawer Connector
The FWSA Series is a 2.0 mm pitch, IP67-compliant waterproof drawer connector. A drawer mechanism holds a stable connection where misalignment during mating is likely: the guide absorbs mating errors of ±1.5 mm in the XY directions, and the screw fastening on the cable-side connector adjusts a further ±1.0 mm. Compatible cable is AWG#26.
-
8825E Series
1.27mm pitch connector / 0.635mm pitch flat cable compatible
The 8825E series is a 1.27mm pitch printed circuit board-to-cable connector. Compatible with AWG#30 flat cable.
-
DT-E-FS Series
0.5mm Pitch High Speed Floating Connector with Power Terminal
DT-E-FS is a board-to-floating connector with a printed circuit board printed circuit board that has a 0.5mm pitch with the stack height of receptacle raised by 10mm, and is capable of high speed serial transmission equivalent to 8Gbps. By combining with a plug with a stack height of 20 mm, a maximum stack height of 30 mm is possible.
