FAQs
The VGE1PS181907L is a straight adaptor designed to mate with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, featuring an 18‑position layout and pin (Male) contacts. Its backshell adaptor design simplifies mating and disassembly, reducing alignment challenges during installation on enclosures, control panels, and modular cabinets.
This connector carries fire and smoke certification with UL94 V0, and it complies with REACH and RoHS. It also withstands harsh environments with a operating temperature range of -40 to 100 °C and a salt spray resistance of 500 hours, supporting long‑term reliability in demanding applications.
Yes. The fire and smoke certification, combined with robust aluminium shell, straight backshell adaptor, and 18‑position layout, makes it suitable for critical interconnects in rail signaling enclosures, aerospace equipment housings, and other high‑safety, high‑reliability installations.
Plan for straightforward mating due to the straight backshell angle and adaptor design. The 52 mm length and compact 30x30 mm footprint help fit in tight panels, while the 18‑position layout supports scalable wiring. Ensure mating with compatible Souriau VGE1 components and follow standard torque and alignment guidelines to avoid damage.
The combination of UL94 V0 fire rating, RoHS/REACH compliance, and 500‑hour salt spray resistance reduces risk of safety incidents and failures, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Its lightweight 29.5 g mass and compact form factor also minimize panel weight and space, enabling quicker assemblies and easier replacements in ongoing automation upgrades.
