FAQs
FER1B1819SN uses a square flange receptacle with thread coupling, offering a compact footprint in tight enclosures. Its 35 mm depth and 45.5 mm width balance space efficiency with robust mounting. When planning, choose compatible panel cutouts and ensure enough clearance for the crimp contacts and mating inserts. The aluminum shell aids heat dissipation, while the 500 mating cycles reduce the frequency of connector replacements in production lines.
The FER1B1819SN is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection, and it carries a UL94 V0 flammability rating with fire and smoke certification. This combination supports safe operation in washdown zones and areas with potential flame exposure. The RoHS and REACH compliance further ensure the product meets regulatory expectations in global manufacturing, energy, and automation contexts.
Yes, FER1B1819SN is designed for 10 cavity #16 crimp contacts, supporting a compact 10-position configuration. The device offers up to 500 mating cycles, which translates to longer service life and lower maintenance frequency in high-cycle applications such as automated assembly lines and robotic cells.
Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C, the connector accommodates extreme ambient conditions common in outdoor or industrial environments. The aluminium shell provides structural rigidity with reduced weight, while the IP67 rating guards against dust and moisture. These features combined with RoHS/REACH compliance make it suitable for demanding environments like process plants, energy installations, and heavy machinery.
The 500 mating cycles and durable aluminium shell minimize unexpected interconnect failures, lowering downtime and maintenance costs. Fire and smoke certification reduces compliance risk, while the robust thread-coupled design improves reliability under vibration. For OEMs and integrators, this translates to fewer field-service visits, faster commissioning, and a safer, regulator-aligned interconnection in critical control systems.
