Fire and smoke certification from the VGE1-FER1 family establishes regulatory compliance and risk reduction for safety-critical controls. This translates to lower incident risk in panels exposed to regulatory scrutiny and harsh environments, enabling deployment in trains, industrial machinery, and hazardous zones with proven performance. IP67 protection combined with an aluminium shell delivers robust sealing and durable construction, minimizing field failures and service calls in outdoor enclosures and wet production floors. The thread coupling with bayonet mating offers secure, fast assembly, yielding reliable mating in high-vibration settings and quicker maintenance when disconnections are needed, reducing rework for installers. A 500 mating cycles rating signals long life and lower lifecycle costs, especially in test rigs and automation loops that require repeated connect/disconnect. Compact dimensions and the 10-contact, #16 crimp configuration ensure seamless harness integration with standard industrial cables, while the square flange mount and N orientation streamline panel design and installation in distributed automation systems.

FAQs
FER1B1819PY supports 10 #16 crimp contacts within a square flange receptacle design and uses thread coupling with a bayonet mating action for secure, fast assembly. This combination enables straightforward harness integration on panel-mounted equipment and control boxes, while maintaining reliable mating in vibration-heavy environments. For installation, ensure proper crimp tooling and compatible housing back-shells are used to preserve IP67 integrity and mating cycle longevity.
The VGE1-FER1 series, including FER1B1819PY, is fire and smoke certified and offers IP67 protection with an aluminium shell, UL94 V0 flammability, and RoHS/REACH compliance. These certifications support regulatory acceptance in safety-critical industries such as industrial automation, transportation, and hazardous environments, while providing reliable sealing and resistance to high-temperature transitions typical of demanding machinery.
FER1B1819PY operates between -40 °C and 100 °C, enabling reliable performance across extreme factory and outdoor conditions. It carries IP67 protection and is rated for up to 500 mating cycles, offering durable service in high-cycle applications. The aluminium shell further enhances durability while keeping weight manageable for panel designs.
Yes. FER1B1819PY is a square flange receptacle designed for panel mounting with thread coupling and a N orientation. This combination provides secure alignment and robust mounting in standard automation panels, enabling seamless integration with typical harness routing and enclosure designs.
Plan for up to 500 mating cycles given the FER1B1819PY rating. Consider routine inspection of sealing integrity and connector alignment during maintenance windows, especially after exposure to dust, moisture, or vibration. The robust IP67 sealing and aluminium shell help minimize field failures, but periodic verification of engagement and harness integrity will maximize uptime and ROI in high-demand automation environments.
