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
-
FWS Series
IP67 2.0 mm pitch, small-size, waterproof connector
The FWS Series is a IP67-compliant compact waterproof connector with a 2.0 mm pitch. It is the industry’s smallest compact and low-profile waterproof connector with a 2.0 mm pitch. Combining the plug side connector (FWSP1A) with the branch/relay type (FWSB01) reduces wire usage inside the casing. The compatible cables are AWG#22/24/26/28.
-
DT Series
High-Speed Transmission
Our DT Series support high-speed serial signal transmission equivalent to the SATA standard while having the function of a 0.5 mm pitch floating connector.
-
8900 Series
1.27 mm pitch connector/Low-profile type
The 8900 Series is a 1.27 mm pitch, low-profile, board-to-board connector. Straight and right angle types are available. The straight type has five variations of height ranging from 7 mm to 12 mm. It is also available with or without a metal hook.
-
FA Series
2.5 mm pitch drawer connector
The FA Series is a 2.5 mm pitch drawer connector. Drawer connectors are suitable for mating in places that are not visible. It provides the high connection reliability required for drawer connectors, including buckling prevention, facilitating mating adjustment, and reducing stress during mating. The compatible cables are AWG#22/24/26/28.
