Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1PS280017 uses an aluminium shell with black anodized plating, delivering robust mechanical protection without adding weight, which reduces overall system stress and supports longer service life in rugged environments. This directly improves installation efficiency on restricted panels and lowers maintenance intervals for critical equipment in aerospace and industrial automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The straight backshell adaptor and 28 shell size enable quick, secure mating and repeatable performance in tight enclosures, reducing assembly time by a measurable margin and minimizing field failures during vibration and thermal cycling. This is ideal for systems requiring rapid field service and high uptime in transportation and energy sectors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire & Smoke certification combined with RoHS/REACH compliance provides end-to-end regulatory assurance, supporting safety audits and reducing non-compliance risk across multi-site operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and salt spray resistance of 500 hours ensure reliability in outdoor and harsh indoor environments, improving lifecycle cost and warranty coverage. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact 76 mm length and 46 mm width/height fit densely packed control panels, enabling standardized sourcing across Souriau VGE1-FER1 family products and reducing total parts variety in engineering BOMs.

FAQs
The VGE1PS280017 uses a straight backshell adaptor and a 28 shell size, designed for straightforward mating with compatible VGE1-FER1 series connectors. Its aluminium shell and black anodized plating ensure a durable, corrosion-resistant connection. It fits standard Souriau VGE1-FER1 family assemblies, enabling modularity across enclosures and control panels in aerospace, rail, and industrial automation.
This connector is fire and smoke certified and carries UL94 V0 rating. It is RoHS and REACH compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for hazardous substances and environmental impact. These certifications support compliance during safety audits and help reduce supply-chain risk in regulated industries such as transportation and heavy industry.
The aluminium shell provides a lightweight yet strong housing, improving strength-to-weight in compact assemblies. The 28 shell size and straight backshell facilitate easier installation and standardized mating, reducing assembly time and mass variability across panels. Together, they support reliable operation in temperature and vibration extremes typical of aerospace and industrial environments.
Yes. Fire & Smoke certification and UL94 V0 ratings confirm suitability for safety-critical enclosures. The operating range of -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance provide resilience against thermal cycling and corrosion, while the straight adaptor design supports secure, vibration-resistant mating essential in transportation and industrial automation.
A single family of compatible VGE1-FER1 connectors reduces BOM complexity and sourcing fragmentation, lowering procurement overhead. The combination of regulatory compliance, robust mechanical design, and fast mating translates to reduced field downtime, easier maintenance planning, and predictable lifecycle costs across sites with similar enclosures and control cabinets.
