Fire and Smoke certification and RoHS compliance ensure regulatory alignment and reduce risk during safety approvals. In industrial control panels and safety-critical enclosures, this translates to faster commissioning and fewer compliance questions during audits. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers durable corrosion resistance, translating to lower maintenance costs and longer service life in rail, outdoor, and harsh industrial environments. The 18-position, straight backshell adaptor enables dense, straightforward wiring runs, reducing panel depth requirements and easing field installation in confined spaces. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C with a 500-hour salt spray rating, the connector remains reliable under extreme temperatures and humidity, cutting unexpected downtime. The male pin configuration ensures robust mating with compatible Souriau receptacles, supporting quick field replacements and scalable wiring schemes for growing automation systems.

FAQs
The VGE1PS181917L uses a straight backshell adaptor and 18-position layout designed to pair with Souriau VGE1 backshells. For best results, ensure the mating receptacle matches the 18-contact pin configuration, verify the shell diameter and mounting alignment, and use appropriate sealing and grommets. Proper mating torque and secure locking prevent micro-movements that can cause intermittent connections in vibration-heavy environments.
This connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and features a 500-hour salt spray rating, indicating strong corrosion resistance. It also carries RoHS and REACH compliance and UL94 V0 flammability rating, enabling safe use in demanding industrial, outdoor, and safety-critical installations where environmental exposure is a concern.
Yes. The combination of an aluminium shell, black anodized plating, fire and smoke certification, and 18-position layout makes it well-suited for rail signaling cabinets, industrial automation enclosures, and power distribution panels. Its rugged design and regulatory compliance help meet sector-specific standards while providing reliable mating with compatible Souriau connectors.
The connector supports fire and smoke certification, RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 flamability rating. These certifications ensure safety in fire scenarios, limit hazardous materials, comply with international environmental standards, and provide flame resistance assurance—critical factors for customer approvals, audits, and regulatory compliance across multiple industries.
The aluminium shell with corrosion-resistant black anodized plating reduces maintenance needs and extends service life in harsh environments, lowering replacement intervals. Its robust mating design and compatibility with straight backshell adaptors streamline installation, reducing labor time. The result is lower downtime, predictable lifecycle costs, and improved overall equipment reliability for automation and electrical distribution systems.
