Fire & Smoke certified construction, RoHS and UL94 V0 compliance provide immediate safety and regulatory alignment, reducing test cycles and compliance risk in cabinets and enclosures. This translates to faster approvals and lower project risk, especially in automotive, rail, and industrial automation environments where regulatory scrutiny is high. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers rugged durability and corrosion resistance while keeping weight low, enabling compact, high-density harness layouts and reducing overall system weight for mobile or airborne applications. A straight adaptor backshell simplifies installation, enabling quick, accurate mating and reducing field errors during panel assembly or retrofits. With a shell size of 24 and a modest 50 g weight, the unit fits neatly into tight spaces and dense connector banks, improving reliability and maintainability. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance extend service life in outdoor, coastal, or factory-floor environments, delivering lower maintenance costs and higher uptime. Compatibility with standard backshells and harnesses minimizes parts diversity and supports streamlined procurement and logistics, while the robust 52 mm length and 40 mm width/height keep integration straightforward in modular systems and control cabinets.

FAQs
VGE1PS240008 uses a straight adaptor backshell and a 24 shell size, designed to be compatible with standard Eaton Souriau backshells and common harness geometries. The connector’s aluminium body and black anodized plating provide predictable mating alignment, reducing misalignment risk during panel assembly. For high-density applications, the 52 mm length and compact 40 x 40 mm footprint enable reliable daisy-chaining and easy field replacements without special tooling or adapters.
This connector is RoHS compliant and UL94 V0 flammability rated, with fire and smoke certification suited for safety-critical environments. These certifications ensure regulatory acceptance in rail, aerospace, and industrial sectors, supporting risk mitigation, environmental compliance, and qualification testing. The certifications also simplify supplier audits and reduce the need for alternate parts that may require additional documentation or redesign.
Yes. The VGE1PS240008 features an aluminium shell with black anodized plating and is rated for salt spray exposure up to 500 hours, indicating strong corrosion resistance. Its operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C also supports outdoor and harsh indoor environments. This combination provides reliable electrical performance and longevity in rugged installations such as outdoor control panels and industrial automation enclosures.
When using the straight adaptor backshell, ensure mating components conform to the same shell size (24) and backshell interface. Maintain clean, dry mounting surfaces and verify proper alignment before engagement to minimize wear. The straight design favors horizontal panel mounting and quick field replacements, reducing installation time and the likelihood of cross-threading or misalignment during harness routing in compact cabinets.
The VGE1PS240008 offers long-term reliability with 500-hour salt spray resistance and a robust aluminium shell, which translates to lower maintenance frequency and fewer field repairs. The combination of fire & smoke safety, RoHS/UL94 V0 compliance, and a compact, lightweight design reduces spare parts inventory, lowers upgrade risk in retrofit projects, and improves uptime in high-use manufacturing equipment, yielding favorable total cost of ownership results.
