Feature → Fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0 rating, and RoHS/REACH compliance provide a rigorous safety baseline. Business Impact → By meeting these standards, projects accelerate regulator approvals, reduce last‑minute design changes, and lower risk of field failures. Application → Ideal for safety-critical enclosures in industrial automation, the VGE1PS181919L supports compliant, auditable installations in panels and control cabinets. Feature → Mechanical robustness: straight backshell adaptor, aluminium shell, and 18-position layout with male contacts provide a compact, rugged interface. Business Impact → This translates to easier assembly, reliable mating, and improved vibration resilience in dynamic industrial environments. Application → Use in harness assemblies that demand dense signaling within 18‑way configurations, particularly where space is constrained and weight matters. Feature → Material & finish: black anodized aluminium shell, exact 18‑pos footprint ensure compatibility with Eaton Souriau ecosystems. Business Impact → Enhanced corrosion resistance and consistent mating performance over service life reduce maintenance costs. Application → Suitable for outdoor or scrubber-environment panels where exposure to contaminants is common. Feature → Environmental endurance: operating temperature range -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray rating. Business Impact → Ensures long-term reliability under temperature swings and saline or industrial atmospheres, lowering downtime. Application → Critical for process plants, heavy machinery, and harsh production lines that require stable connectivity regardless of climate. Feature → Accessibility & compatibility: compatible with 18‑position layout and standard backshell type; pre-aligned with adapter style. Business Impact → Simplifies integration with existing wiring harnesses and reduces sourcing risk by using a known vendor ecosystem. Application → Great for retrofits and new builds in food, chemical, or automotive sectors where standardized Eaton Souriau components are preferred.
