FAQs
To install FER1B2821PZ, align the square flange receptacle with the panel cutout, thread the coupling, and ensure the insulator orientation is correct for your harness. Verify IP67 sealing after mating and use appropriate crimp contacts for #16 conductors. Note that insulator may be oriented or mounted separately depending on your harness design; refer to the mounting instructions for torque specs and seal integrity.
FER1B2821PZ provides 37 positions with #16 crimp contacts, aluminum shell, shell size 28, and a 50.8 mm length/height. It features thread coupling, square flange receptacle, IP67 sealing, and operates from -40 °C to 100 °C with up to 500 mating cycles. The connector is designed for crimp contact delivery, not supplied by default, and is intended for rugged interconnects.
Yes. The FER1B2821PZ is rated IP67, supports a broad operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C, and offers salt spray resistance for up to 500 hours. Combined with fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0, and RoHS/REACH compliance, it is well-suited for outdoor and industrial deployments where environmental exposure and safety standards matter.
Contact delivery for FER1B2821PZ is listed as Not delivered and must be ordered separately. This allows engineers to select the exact #16 crimp contacts and any ancillary accessories needed to complete the harness, such as mating sleeves or seals, ensuring compatibility with your existing systems and harness designs.
The VGE1-FER1 series includes fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 flammability ratings, along with RoHS/REACH compliance. These certifications ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements for critical applications in aerospace, rail, and industrial automation where fire and smoke performance is essential.
