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
-
8600 Series
0.635 mm Pitch Connector
The 8600 Series is a 0.635 mm pitch board-to-board connector. It features small-size, multi pin, and high reliability, and it is the optimum product to contribute to downsizing and sophistication of equipment.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
