FAQs
Begin by selecting the mating receptacle for the 22-position layout and confirming a straight backshell adaptor fit. Align the pin contacts with the receptacle, secure the adaptor per the manufacturer's torque guidelines, and verify electrical continuity. Confirm the aluminium shell is seated and the black anodized finish is intact to ensure corrosion resistance and proper enclosure sealing.
Key specs include a working temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C, salt spray resistance for up to 500 hours, and the UL94 V0 flammability rating with fire and smoke certification. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating further enhances durability, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial applications where exposure to harsh conditions is common.
Yes. The VGE1PS221418L features fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 compliance, along with REACH and RoHS adherence, which supports regulatory requirements across rail and aerospace safety systems. Verify your specific program’s approval matrix, but this connector is designed to meet stringent safety and environmental standards.
The VGE1-FER1 series uses a consistent 22-position layout and adaptor-based backshell design, enabling straightforward mating with compatible Souriau components. The straight backshell and aluminium shell provide uniform mechanical interfaces, simplifying system integration and reducing custom tooling or adapters when building multi-part harnesses.
The combination of a corrosion-resistant aluminium shell, black anodized plating, and robust sealing reduces maintenance needs and extends service intervals. Fire and smoke certification lowers compliance risk, while the 500-hour salt spray rating and wide temperature range minimize replacement costs and downtime in harsh environments, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
