KEL Corporation has started the release of the 0.5mm pitch floating connector "DY03/04 series," which is compatible with high heat resistance. <Features> - Operating temperature supports up to +105°C. - Floating amount secured at ±0.5mm in the XY direction. - High reliability design with an effective mating length of 1.25mm. - Option to choose whether or not to include positioning bosses. - Available in six types with pin counts ranging from 50 to 140 pins. - Stack heights supported are 5mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm. * The 11mm to 14mm stack height types are compatible with DY1□-□□□FS□-□-□□ for +105°C. * For details, please consult our sales representative.

We have developed a new type of the "DT Series" high-speed transmission compatible 0.5mm pitch floating connector with a stack height of 25mm. This time, we developed a plug-side connector with a stack height of 15mm and combined it with a receptacle-side connector that has a 10mm increased stack height, achieving a total stack height of 25mm. Similar to the 30mm stack height version, it ensures a high floating amount of ±1.0mm in the XY direction, enabling high-speed serial transmission equivalent to 8Gbps. We will develop seven variations with pin counts ranging from 30 to 140 pins. Additionally, by combining it with the existing DT series receptacle side, it can accommodate the 15mm stack height version. *The 15mm type supports a floating amount of ±0.5mm.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the "DT Series" floating connector with a 0.5mm pitch, compatible with high-speed transmission, at KEL. The "DT Series" is a floating connector with a 0.5mm pitch that supports high-speed serial signal transmission equivalent to the SATA standard. It allows for three-dimensional connections in stacked, horizontal, and vertical configurations, and recently we have expanded our options by adding a high-stack type that accommodates a maximum stack height of 20mm. As part of our efforts to further expand our variations, we are introducing a shell type that is designed for ESD and EMC protection. By surrounding the connector with a metal shell, it protects the signals from static electricity and noise, and the contact between shells enhances grounding. The connection method is stack connection (height 10mm), and we offer 30 and 40 pins. A 100-pin type is also under development. <Target Devices> Automotive equipment, FA equipment, gaming machines, medical devices, imaging devices, communication devices, and various other small devices.

KEL (President: Etsuro Doi, Tamashi, Tokyo, Phone: 042-374-5800) will release additional variations of the floating connector "DY Series." 【What is a floating connector...?】 It is a connector equipped with a mechanism (floating mechanism) that absorbs vertical and horizontal errors that occur when mounting the connector on a circuit board. By allowing the connector to move, it can absorb errors and misalignments during mating, thereby reducing stress on the connector and the circuit board. Benefits include absorption of mounting tolerances on the circuit board, the ability to mount multiple connectors on the same circuit board, and reduced stress on the soldering area of the connector.
