FAQs
The VGE1PE221401M is designed to mate with standard Souriau VGE1-FER1 series connectors and compatible mating plugs. For best results, pair with the corresponding 22-shell size backshell and adaptor components, ensuring the black anodized finish and aluminium shell are preserved for corrosion resistance and mechanical fit in your enclosure.
The 90° backshell directs cable entry at a right angle, reducing bending stress and enabling neat, organized routing in compact panels. This geometry minimizes enclosure footprint, speeds assembly, and lowers the risk of damaged conductors during maintenance.
Yes. The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for outdoor, industrial, and machinery environments where temperature swings occur. The aluminium shell and black anodized plating further enhance durability under thermal cycling.
The connector carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, with a fire and smoke certified designation. These certifications help meet strict safety and environmental regulations, simplify procurement for regulated industries, and support risk mitigation in critical installations.
Its corrosion-resistant aluminium shell, robust 22 layout, and wide operating temperature range reduce wear and failure rates. The 90° backshell simplifies field servicing, and the standardized Souriau VGE1-FER1 ecosystem enables scalable panel designs, lowering replacement costs and downtime in production lines.
