Feature: The 18-position layout with socket (female) contacts enables dense wiring in a compact footprint. Business impact: reduces harness length and panel space while improving diagnostics through consistent pinout. Application: ideal for industrial control panels, machine enclosures, and railway electronics where space efficiency and reliability matter. The 66.6 mm depth helps standardize mounting envelopes across multi-harness assemblies. Feature: Aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and light weight. Business impact: longer service life in harsh environments and lower total cost of ownership due to reduced maintenance. Application: outdoor equipment, harsh manufacturing floors, and automotive-related control systems where exposure to moisture and dust is common. The aluminum construction also aids heat dissipation during operation. Feature: UL94 V0 flammability rating and RoHS/REACH compliance. Business impact: simplifies regulatory certification across regions and reduces risk during audits and product declarations. Application: safety-critical installations in manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors where fire and environmental standards govern design choices. Feature: Straight backshell adaptor and straightforward mating geometry. Business impact: reduces installation time and improves mating reliability by ensuring proper alignment and insertion force. Application: enclosures and control cabinets that require quick field assembly and minimal tooling. Compatibility with VGE1-FER1 family expands reuse with existing Souriau connectors. Feature: Operating range -40 to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance. Business impact: resilience to extreme temperatures and corrosive environments, lowering unscheduled maintenance. Application: industrial plants, railways, and outdoor equipment that endure climate cycles. Combined with 18-layout and 40.7 g weight, the solution supports efficient installation in dense wiring schemes.
