The EMC Backshell and Gland Experts
Active Electronics is an authorised distributor for KEC, a specialist in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) interconnect technology. Operating since 1979, KEC has established itself as a pioneer in EMC interconnect design, manufacturing high-quality, high-performance backshells, bulkhead fittings, connectors, metal braids and shielding solutions for some of the most demanding sectors in engineering.
KEC design and manufacture high-performance EMC backshells and bulkhead glands, alongside conduit systems, D Type, M12 and Profibus connectors, and accessories including metal braids, sleeving, shielding and connector mounting plates. Their products provide an environmental seal equal to or higher than the rating of the connector itself, with enhanced EMC screening conductivity — and KEC holds patented methods for screen termination.
Beyond components, KEC offers cable harness assembly, box kitting and full system solutions, with planning, design and construction services tailored to customer specifications — positioning them as a genuine one-stop shop for EMC interconnect requirements.
As an authorised distributor, Active Electronics gives customers access to KEC’s full product range alongside our own global sourcing, design support and traceable supply chain services — a single point of contact from specification through to delivery.
