FAQs

The VGE1PS280008 uses a straight adaptor configuration designed for straightforward mating with compatible Souriau backshells. Plan for clean cable routing in tight panels, ensure correct orientation to avoid misalignment during first mate, and verify that the 28 shell size matches the existing harness to maximize plug-and-play efficiency and reduce commissioning time.
This connector carries fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 rating, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments and helping you meet rigorous safety and environmental standards during audits.
Yes. The design uses a 28 shell size and is intended for straightforward compatibility with standard Souriau backshells, enabling plug-and-play integration with existing harnesses, seals, and mating components. This reduces parts variety and accelerates procurement and assembly in panel builds and retrofits.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and offers 500-hour salt spray resistance, making it suitable for extreme climates and corrosive environments. In practice, this translates to longer service intervals, fewer field failures, and a lower overall maintenance burden in outdoor or harsh industrial settings.
By combining fire and smoke certification with robust mechanical design and modular Souriau components, the VGE1PS280008 reduces risk during audits, speeds up installation, and lowers lifetime maintenance costs. Its lightweight aluminium shell and durable finish support longer service intervals, higher uptime, and a lower total cost of ownership for automation projects.
