KEL has successfully produced a new economical DIN connector by utilizing the original design technology and accumulated production experience. DIN offers lower cost and higher contact performance than card edge connectors. DIN`s mating reliability is independent of board thickness, surface treatment, and dimensional accuracy easing board requirements. This advantage combined with low connector cost offers substantial advantages.

KEL, whose 8300 series complies with DIN41612/IEC603-2 standards, has responded to the need for diversified mating combinations (horizontal, vertical and stacked mating) with the addition of its inverse type 8400 series. KEL's new "VA" type is completely changing the image of DIN connectors by offering superior performance with polarity variations at an economical price.
