Genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable for Inspiron 3185

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the audio port and USB I/O board to the motherboard inside the Inspiron 11 (3185) 2-in-1 laptop. It carries the Dell part number KY3GK and the alternate reference 450.0DW01.0011. The part is supplied new and matches the component shown in the product images.

Passive flex interconnect designed for continuous

The flat flex cable carries low-voltage signals between the I/O daughter board and the mainboard during everyday operation. It has no active electronics, so its behaviour under sustained load is limited to the thermal and mechanical environment inside the chassis. Normal laptop temperatures and repeated hinge cycles are the conditions it is built to withstand.

Verify exact model and connector layout before

This cable fits only the Inspiron 11 (3185) series; other Inspiron 11 models or 2-in-1 variants use different routing and pinouts. Confirm the part number KY3GK or 450.0DW01.0011 on the original ribbon before purchase. The repair requires disassembly of the lower case and careful routing through the hinge area.

Questions about this item

Will the KY3GK ribbon cable add any heat or power draw inside my Inspiron 3185?

The KY3GK ribbon cable is a passive flex connector; it carries signals between the USB and audio board and the motherboard without drawing extra power or generating heat.

What must already be in the laptop for this cable to function?

The cable connects the existing USB and audio I/O board to the motherboard, so both the board and its motherboard connector must be present and undamaged.

Does this cable fit older Inspiron 11 models before the 3185?

The KY3GK part is listed only for the Inspiron 11 (3185) 2-in-1; it is not confirmed for earlier Inspiron 11 chassis.
