The straight backshell adaptor and aluminium shell with black anodized plating deliver a durable, corrosion-resistant housing designed for long service life in demanding environments. This combination reduces maintenance cycles and ensures reliable mating in tight panel fits, making it ideal for control panels and machinery enclosures where space is at a premium. Fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0 rating, and RoHS/REACH enforcement provide essential safety and regulatory compliance. The impact is lower risk in confined spaces and easier regulatory approvals for automotive, rail, and industrial automation projects. The connector’s compliance simplifies supplier audits and reduces design risk during certification. Wide operating temperature range of -40 to 100 °C ensures stable performance across factory floors, outdoor equipment, and railway installations, minimizing redesign needs. Audited salt spray resistance of 500 hours demonstrates robust corrosion protection in humid or coastal facilities, increasing uptime and lowering maintenance costs. Compact geometry—66.6 mm length, 37 mm width and height, 22-layout—facilitates standardized harnessing and rapid field installation with female socket contacts. The straight backshell adaptor supports straightforward assembly with compatible male partners, reducing installation time and error-prone misalignment in high-safety assemblies.

FAQs
What to know before mounting: this unit uses a straight backshell adaptor with a 22-shell size and aluminium shell finished in black anodized plating. Ensure compatible mating components from the VGE1-FER1 family, align the socket contacts, and follow the standard Souriau installation sequence to avoid misalignment. The compact 66.6 mm length and 37 mm square profile support tight panel fits and quick field assembly while maintaining robust sealing.
Key specs include a wide operating range from -40 °C to 100 °C, salt spray resistance rated at 500 hours, and certifications for UL94 V0 flame rating along with RoHS/REACH compliance. These factors collectively reduce risk in harsh environments, support regulatory approvals, and extend service life in industrial automation, rail, and outdoor equipment applications.
Yes. The VGE1PS221417M is fire and smoke certified, with a UL94 V0 rating and explicit fire & smoke certification. This makes it well-suited for confined-space machinery, safety-critical panels, and systems where ignition risk must be minimized, while maintaining reliable performance across demanding operating conditions.
Industries leveraging high reliability interconnects include industrial automation, automotive and rail systems, aerospace ground support equipment, and control-panel manufacturers. The combination of fire & smoke certification, robust corrosion resistance, and a compact form factor supports safer, compliant deployments in harsh environments.
The part’s corrosion resistance (500-hour salt spray), wide temperature tolerance, and certified safety ratings translate to longer service intervals and reduced maintenance costs. Its compatibility with 22-shell Souriau assemblies streamlines procurement, minimizes design risk, and speeds up field installation, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
