Straight adaptor design provides straightforward mating with standard 18-size backplanes, reducing assembly steps and minimizing misalignment during installation. This improves production throughput and field service readiness by cutting rejection risk and rework. Ideal for panel interfaces in wiring harnesses across industrial automation and machine-building applications. Aluminium shell with Black Anodized plating delivers corrosion resistance and durability without adding weight. In practical terms this translates to longer service life in harsh environments and easier maintenance, lowering lifecycle costs for automation projects and rail-related cabinetry. Operating temperature ranges from −40 °C to 100 °C, and a 500-hour salt spray rating provide reliable performance in extreme conditions, supporting uptime targets for factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and offshore equipment. UL94 V0 flammability rating with RoHS and REACH compliance ensures regulatory alignment for safety-critical systems and procurement requirements. This addresses customer demand for traceable compliance and reduces qualification time in audits and FATs. The 52 mm length, 30×30 mm footprint, and 22.5 g weight keep the connector well-suited for compact panel layouts and cable routing in constrained spaces. Part of the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, this straight adaptor is designed for high-reliability environments like industrial automation, data centers, and equipment assemblies.

FAQs
Installation begins with confirming the 18 shell size mating interface and ensuring the straight backshell aligns with the chassis opening. Align the connector with the mating part, engage the bayonet coupling by a simple quarter-turn, and verify a secure, low-resistance connection. The adaptor is designed for quick mating, reducing field assembly time and training requirements for technicians.
The VGE1PS180009 supports an operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C and offers a 500-hour salt spray resistance. It also carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and complies with RoHS and REACH. These specs ensure reliability in harsh industrial environments and support regulatory compliance across manufacturing, automation, and safety-critical installations.
Yes. The VGE1PS180009 is a straight adaptor compatible with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 series backshells and is specifically sized for shell size 18. This compatibility streamlines component sourcing, reduces integration risk, and supports consistent mating and retention across standard 18-size harnesses used in industrial automation and control panels.
This connector meets UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, and REACH compliance, and it is described as fire and smoke certified. These certifications help streamline regulatory approvals, FATs, and procurement processes for safety-critical equipment in automation, rail, and machinery sectors.
Its lightweight aluminium shell and straight adaptor design reduce weight and installation time, lowering labor costs. The robust corrosion resistance and wide operating temperature range extend service intervals, lowering maintenance frequency. Compliance with UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH minimizes qualification risk, helping to achieve lower total cost of ownership over the life of control panels and automation systems.
