KEL Corporation Unveils High-Speed PCIe 5.0 Floating Connector Series

KEL Corporation's Innovative JI Series Connector

KEL Corporation, headquartered in Tama City, Tokyo, has recently introduced its cutting-edge JI Series, a floating connector designed to meet the fast-paced demands of modern electronics, particularly in high-speed data transmission scenarios. This new connector series is compliant with PCIe 5.0 standards, ensuring that it can handle the increasing bandwidth required for today’s advanced applications.

Product Overview

The JI Series connectors feature a 0.5 mm pitch for signal terminals, a critical design aspect that allows for dense connections necessary in today’s compact electronic devices. The connector's signal terminals can range from 20 to 200 pins, adaptable for various applications, and customers have the option to include power terminals, which are rated at 6A each (with four pins). Additionally, these connectors support stackable configurations with a stacking height of 10 to 35 mm, allowing for flexibility in design and arrangement.

One of the standout features of the JI Series is its floating capability. The connectors allow for movement in both XY directions, with a maximum shift of ±1.0 mm at 10 to 15 mm stacking heights, and ±1.2 mm at stacking heights of 20 to 35 mm. This kind of design helps mitigate stress on connections, especially in applications where vibrations or thermal expansion can occur.

The operating temperature range for these connectors is quite broad, from -40℃ to +125℃, including temperature rise during operation, which speaks to the robustness and versatility of the product in various environments. The effective mating length is designed to be ±1 mm, with a guidance capability of ±1.5 mm, ensuring easy alignment during assembly.
