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

  • DY03 / DY04 Series board-to-board connector plug and receptacle with gold-plated contacts

    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.

  • Four DT-E-FS Series floating board-to-board connectors shown from different angles

    DT-E-FS Series

    0.5mm Pitch High Speed Floating Connector with Power Terminal

    DT-E-FS is a board-to-floating connector with a printed circuit board printed circuit board that has a 0.5mm pitch with the stack height of receptacle raised by 10mm, and is capable of high speed serial transmission equivalent to 8Gbps. By combining with a plug with a stack height of 20 mm, a maximum stack height of 30 mm is possible.

  • Five FWS Series waterproof crimp connectors joining blue wires, beside a loose crimp terminal

    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.

  • 8825E Series connector with grey ribbon cable and latching ejectors, above its board-mounted receptacle

    8825E Series

    1.27mm pitch connector / 0.635mm pitch flat cable compatible

    The 8825E series is a 1.27mm pitch printed circuit board-to-cable connector. Compatible with AWG#30 flat cable.
