Fire and smoke certification is built into the FER1D2821PN, supporting UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance. This enhances safety, reduces audit-related downtime, and lowers the risk of non-compliance penalties. The 37-position, crimped #16 contacts enable dense, reliable wiring for complex control panels, cutting harness length and simplifying future changes. The aluminum shell, compact dimensions, and a weight of 82 g deliver robustness without adding unnecessary bulk, easing handling and installation in space-constrained panels. The IP67 rating combined with an operating range of -40 to 100 °C tolerances ensures dependable performance in harsh environments, reducing maintenance frequency and field failures. Thread coupling provides secure mating and vibration resistance, while the straight plug geometry simplifies alignment during installation and minimizes mis-mates on assembly lines. Compatibility with Souriau VGE1 series components can shorten procurement cycles and improve modularity across machine onboarding and service events.

FAQs
Begin with the insulator orientation set to N, then prepare 37 crimp contacts for #16 wiring. Align the straight plug with the corresponding receptacle and thread-couple securely to ensure IP67 sealing. Verify mating cycles and mechanical fit during panel assembly, and test continuity across all 37 circuits after installation to confirm proper harness connectivity.
Check that the FER1D2821PN is used as a straight plug with 37 #16 crimp contacts and a thread coupling type compatible with the Souriau VGE1 series. Confirm IP67 ingress protection, operating temperature range of -40 to 100 °C, and that Mating cycles reach around 500. Ensure the aluminum shell size 28 fits your enclosure footprint.
Yes. It is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress, operates from -40 to 100 °C, and offers corrosion resistance via RoHS and REACH compliance. The aluminum shell provides robust mechanical protection, while the 500 mating cycles support durable field use in demanding industrial settings.
Absolutely. The FER1D2821PN complies with UL94 V0 flammability standards and is RoHS and REACH compliant. Fire and smoke certification is integral to the design, making it suitable for safety-critical control panels and enclosures in sectors with stringent regulatory requirements.
The connector reduces maintenance downtime through reliable IP67 sealing, high vibration resistance from threaded coupling, and long service life with 37 high-density crimp contacts. With 500 mating cycles and straightforward installation, maintenance windows shorten, spare parts usage decreases, and overall lifecycle costs improve in mass-produced automation deployments.
