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
-
8832E-FS Series
1.27 mm pitch 2-piece connector/Flexible stack type
The 8903N-FS series is a 1.27mm pitch printed circuit board-to-printed circuit board connector with a choice of stack heights. The height is available from 20mm to 32mm. It can be mated with the plug side of the 8900 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.
-
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.
-
DY03 / 04 Series
Compact and Versatile / High Temperature Resistance
High temperature resistance type of our main product 0.5mm pitch printed circuit board-to-printed circuit board floating connector DY series. It can be used at temperatures up to +105°C.
