KEL Product Lineup

The 89 series is a half-pitch low-profile connector with a follow-type single-point contact concept. It is the smallest low-profile type among half-pitch connectors, equipped with a guiding mechanism and capable of SMT compatibility. This product is the flexible stack type "8903N-FS series," which has the same shape and dimensions as the "8903 series." Since it is based on the highly regarded "8903 series" in the market, it can be directly mated with connectors that were compatible with the 8903 series (8913-□□□-178S□-□, 8913-□□□-178MS□-A, 8930E-□□□-178MS, 8931E-□□□-178□). The stack heights are available as standard products in 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30mm, but we can flexibly accommodate heights between 20 and 32mm, so please feel free to contact us.

The DU series is a 0.4mm pitch floating connector. It achieves productization with the industry's smallest contact pitch of 0.4mm for floating connectors. When compared to our 0.5mm pitch floating connector DY series, the board space occupation is reduced by approximately 48% for the plug and about 31% for the receptacle. Despite the 0.4mm pitch, it allows for ±0.4mm movement in the XY direction, which can absorb assembly tolerance misalignments of the equipment. The mounting method is vertical direct connection. The contact area on the plug side has an arc shape, similar to the DY series, making it difficult to catch foreign objects. The receptacle eliminates terminal exposure on the bottom surface, preventing foreign object intrusion and allowing for pattern wiring at the contact bottom. The effective mating length of the DU series is 1.2mm, ensuring reliability during mating. The contact method is a contact cantilever type. The number of contacts can expand up to 200, compared to a maximum of 140 in the DY series. For 200 contacts, it achieves a compact size of 40.36mm in the longitudinal direction and 7.5mm in the width direction. The stack height is from 7mm. As a dust prevention measure, the receptacle side is equipped with Kapton tape for automatic mounting and seals the mating port.

Kerl's original design technology and accumulated production techniques have realized a new low-cost type of DIN. With prices lower than card edge connectors and stable contact performance, it is truly establishing the two-piece era of plug-in connections. The two-piece connector has a mating contact section that is independent from the printed circuit board, allowing for relaxed conditions regarding board thickness, surface treatment, and dimensional accuracy. This series, combining this advantage with the low cost of the connector itself, offers significant total cost benefits. Our company, which was the first to domestically produce the DIN 41612 and ISC 603-2 compliant 8300 Series, has added the inverse type 8400 Series, accommodating the diversification of board construction (horizontal, vertical, stack mounting) through mutual combinations. Now, with a focus on labor-saving concepts, the emergence of cost performance and a rich variety of pin counts has completely refreshed the traditional image of DIN connectors, providing new direction for plug-in connections.

This is a 1mm pitch SMT connector that enables even higher density mounting from a half-pitch connector. Like the half-pitch connector, it allows for three-dimensional connections in horizontal, vertical, and stacked configurations, and offers a wide range of pin count variations from 30 to 120 pins. The receptacle side is equipped with a buckling prevention mechanism, achieving a stack connection height of 5mm and a mounting height of 4.8mm for horizontal connections, resulting in a compact and low-profile design. The straight type includes a suction pad for automatic mounting, while the right-angle type provides sufficient suction surface on the top side.

This series features characteristics such as "compact," "multi-pole," and "high reliability," making it an optimal product that contributes to the miniaturization and high performance of equipment. It is designed with high quality required for industrial connectors and eliminates play during mating. It guarantees 500 mating cycles and ensures an effective mating length of 2mm, achieving high contact reliability. Additionally, it provides a definite click feel during mating and has a structure that is resistant to misalignment. It includes a mis-insertion prevention mechanism to prevent reverse insertion due to the molded shape of the connector. Various innovations have been implemented, such as securing a suction space for automatic mounting (the plug-side connector comes with a pickup cover), resulting in a user-friendly product. The number of poles is available in vertical connection with 52, 120, 140, and 160 poles, and in stack connection with 60 and 140 poles. As a family product, it also offers a 0.635mm pitch flat cable type with two layers, the 8622E series, allowing for combinations with board-to-board connectors. This product serves as a next-generation connection solution, capable of meeting a wide range of needs in industrial equipment.
