FAQs
Begin by verifying the straight backshell adaptor and socket (female) contacts are seated correctly. Align the 24-position layout with the harness harnessing plan, then mate the connector firmly to the mating half, ensuring the 66.6 mm length seats against the enclosure wall. Use proper grommets and sealants to preserve fire/smoke certification integrity and tighten per standard torque guidelines to avoid loosening in vibration.
The VGE1PS241017M operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, supports a 500-hour salt spray exposure, and carries fire and smoke certification with UL94 V0 flammability. It also meets RoHS and REACH requirements. The unit uses an aluminium shell with black anodized plating, a 66.6 mm length, and a 24-position layout, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The connector features a 24-position layout and straight backshell/adaptor design that aligns with common 24-position backplanes. Its compact 66.6 mm length and 40 x 40 mm footprint support high-density harness routing, simplifying replacements in legacy systems and enabling scalable automation upgrades without rework.
