The 37-position crimp contacts enable high-density wiring in a compact aluminum shell, reducing overall harness size and simplifying panel layouts. This improves manufacturing throughput by cutting harness length and minimizing wiring errors, especially in control panels and machine frames that demand tight routing and reliable signal transmission. The straight plug design further eases installation in constrained spaces while maintaining crimp quality for long-term electrical integrity. IP67 protection and an aluminum shell deliver rugged sealing against dust, moisture, and wash-down fluids in harsh environments. This minimizes field maintenance, extends service life, and reduces downtime in automation lines, with the 55.3 mm length and 48.1 mm width fitting neatly in compact enclosures while a 28 shell size provides necessary mechanical strength for vibration-prone installations. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C ensures dependable performance from unconditioned plant floors to cold storage areas, reducing the need for climate control and enabling installations in exposed locations. The wide temperature envelope lowers risk of thermal-related performance degradation in challenging environments, while enabling broader application. With up to 500 mating cycles, this connector is engineered for frequent connect/disconnect scenarios typical in maintenance or modular automation. This longevity lowers replacement costs and downtime, while the crimp contact design supports consistent electrical performance over the system life. Fire and smoke certification, together with RoHS and REACH compliance, reduces regulatory risk and supports safety-critical applications. This simplifies documentation, eases audits, and accelerates approvals in industries such as packaging, automotive, and process equipment, delivering a trusted, regulatory-compliant backbone for harness assemblies.

FAQs
Yes. FER1D2821PW is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and is designed to mate with Souriau VGE1 receptacles. It features 37 #16 crimp contacts, a straight plug, and IP67 sealing, ensuring straightforward replacement in existing,CRIMP-based harness systems without rework.
The connector is rated for up to 500 mating cycles, supporting frequent connect/disconnect scenarios. It also carries IP67 protection, providing effective ingress protection against dust and immersion in water under specified test conditions, making it suitable for wash-down and harsh industrial environments.
Ideal for control panels, machine enclosures, and process equipment in manufacturing and automation where fire and smoke certification, high contact density, and robust environmental sealing are required. It supports compact harnessing in tight spaces, enabling reliable signal transmission in harsh operating conditions.
Key certifications include fire and smoke certification, IP67 ingress protection, UL94 V0 flame rating, and compliance with RoHS and REACH. These certifications help with safety approvals, regulatory compliance, and documentation necessary for certification audits in regulated industries.
The 500 mating cycles, high-density 37-position layout, and robust aluminum shell reduce replacement frequency and wiring complexity. In field maintenance, this translates to lower downtime, faster servicing, and lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle, especially in frequent-reconfig or upgrade scenarios.
