Durable aluminium shell combined with an 18 shell size provides a robust yet lightweight housing for harsh environments. The straight backshell adaptor simplifies alignment during mating, reducing misalignment risk and rework. The black anodized plating adds corrosion resistance while maintaining electrical performance in rugged installations. Together these features translate into measurable improvements in field reliability and installation speed in automation and control panels. Wide operating range: The connector supports -40 °C to 100 °C and resists salt spray for up to 500 hours, enabling use across manufacturing floors, outdoors, and in transport enclosures. This thermal and environmental tolerance reduces the need for frequent replacements and supports longer service intervals. Fire and smoke certifications: UL94 V0 rating, RoHS and REACH compliance simplify safety documentation and regulatory approvals, aiding compliance across safety-critical wiring in industrial automation and machinery harnesses. Compatibility and installation efficiencies: The VGE1-PS180017 mates with Souriau VGE1-FER1 series components, offering quick bayonet coupling that speeds assembly and reduces torque requirements. The compact 66.6 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint fit tight panel spaces, while the 33.7 g weight minimizes downstream handling and support costs. Common objections and solutions: If vibration is a concern, the bayonet mechanism provides secure retention under typical industrial shocks; aluminium shell provides structural rigidity without added weight; the straight adaptor ensures reliable alignment in panel-mitted harnesses.
