Industrial and Drones

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.


Camera for Drones

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

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

  • FA Series drawer connector plug and receptacle with screw flanges, on orange flat cable

    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.

  • 8602E Series Eject-Lock connectors, two mounted on circuit boards and two shown separately

    8602E Series

    0.635 mm Pitch Connector / Eject-lock type

    The 8602E Series is a 0.635 mm pitch board-to-board connector with a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism eliminates the need for fixing with screws, and the product assumes applications in memory modules and other applications for connection with small printed circuit boards.

  • 8929E Series connector with discrete black wires and latching ejectors, above its board-mounted receptacle

    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.

  • 8925E Series connector with grey ribbon cable and latching ejectors, above its board-mounted receptacle

    8925E Series

    1.27mm pitch connector / 0.635mm pitch flat cable compatible / low profile type

    The 8925E series is a 1.27mm pitch printed circuit board-to-cable connector. Compatible with AWG#30 flat cable. Achieve a low profile profile with a mating height of 11.8mm. (8925R: for products without strain relief).
