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.

FTCS Series
2.5mm pitch crimp cable connector/2 cable crimp type
“FTCS series” is a 2.5mm pitch crimp cable connector. The biggest feature of this product is that it can crimp two cables to one contact. *Contacts that crimp one cable can also be selected. By crimping two cables to one contact, you can not only reduce number of contacts of connector pins and reduce the size of the connector, but also make it easier to transfer power between printed circuit board. However, it is now possible to use a simple structure without using printed circuit board. Additionally, if terminal block was used for branching, it is now possible to omit terminal block. This product also inherits the highly reliable twin-leaf pinching 2-point contact structure, making it an easy-to-use product. Variations include a locking type (FTCS02), a board side connector (FTCS11), and a cable relay type (FTCS12), allowing us to offer a wide range of lineups to meet customer design needs.
