The 24-layout VGE1PS241017L uses a straight backshell adaptor and male pin contacts for compact, high-density interconnects, enabling reliable mating even in tight panel spaces and reducing misalignment during cabinet assembly. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers strong corrosion resistance and improved durability in harsh industrial environments, while keeping weight manageable for field installation. With a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, this connector maintains electrical performance in extreme conditions, from cold facilities to sun-exposed equipment. Certified to UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH, it supports regulatory compliance across automotive, rail, and process industries, minimizing customer risk and accelerating project approval. A 500-hour salt spray rating underlines resilience in coastal or chemically aggressive settings, while the 66.6 mm length and 40 mm width with a 24‑position layout simplify inventory and replacement planning. The straight, adaptor-based backshell design aids quick, tool-friendly mating and disconnection, reducing maintenance downtime and enabling smoother system upgrades. Industry users appreciate the robust mating interface and clear certification trail, which translate to lower warranty costs and higher uptime across automation cabinets.

FAQs
This connector is designed around a 24-layout format and uses a straight backshell adaptor with a male pin configuration, aligning with standard Eaton Souriau 24-position interfaces. Its mating envelope reduces misalignment risk during panel assembly and simplifies inventory management, allowing technicians to complete cabinet wiring with fewer retries and shorter project timelines.
The VGE1PS241017L is engineered for reliability across a wide temperature spectrum, maintaining electrical integrity and contact performance from -40 °C to 100 °C. This makes it suitable for outdoor cabinets, railway equipment, and process automation in both refrigerated facilities and high-temperature environments, reducing the need for alternative cooling strategies or environmental enclosures.
UL94 V0 certification indicates the plastic components resist flame propagation and self-extinguish quickly, a critical safety criterion in electrical enclosures. For the VGE1PS241017L, this rating, together with RoHS and REACH compliance, provides a documented safety baseline for installations in regulated sectors such as industrial automation, energy, and transportation, easing compliance audits and customer acceptance.
The straight adaptor and bayonet mating design offers rapid, tool-friendly engagement and disconnection, reducing assembly time and downtime during maintenance. The aluminium backshell adds mechanical robustness, while the 66.6 mm length keeps the footprint compact in crowded panels, enabling quicker field servicing and easier upgrades without compromising shielding or signal integrity.
Choosing the VGE1PS241017L delivers predictable, long-term performance with corrosion resistance from the black anodized aluminium shell and a 500-hour salt spray rating. The combination of fire and smoke certification, RoHS/REACH compliance, and robust mechanical design lowers warranty costs, minimizes replacement cycles, and supports higher uptime—delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in demanding automation environments.
