FAQs
For installation, ensure proper mating alignment with the backshell adaptor and confirm the straight backshell orientation. The 18‑position layout requires correct housing of socket (female) contacts, and the bayonet locking mechanism should be engaged with a confident twist to achieve secure, vibration‑resistant connections. Use appropriate tools and follow standard torque guidelines to prevent over‑tightening and potential damage.
Key performance specs include UL94 V0 flammability rating, fire and smoke certification, and RoHS/REACH compliance, ensuring safety and regulatory alignment. The 66.6 mm length, 30 mm height, and 18‑position layout support compact yet capable harnessing, while the aluminium shell provides mechanical resilience in harsh conditions.
Yes. The VGE1PS181919M is part of the VGE1‑FER1 family and uses a straight backshell with an 18‑position layout, facilitating straightforward compatibility with existing Souriau components and prefabricated harnesses. This reduces redesigns and simplifies supplier management for automation panels and control enclosures.
Certifications include UL94 V0 fire‑retardant rating, fire and smoke certification, and RoHS/REACH compliance. These standards ensure safe material performance under fault or fire scenarios, mitigate regulatory risk for global deployments, and support health and environmental compliance across manufacturing sites.
The connector reduces maintenance overhead by offering robust aluminium construction with corrosion resistance and a straightforward bayonet lock, cutting field service time. Standardized 18‑position layouts and souriau compatibility streamline spares management, while RoHS/REACH compliance helps avoid supplier disruptions in multi‑site automation projects.
