Fire and smoke certification is a key feature of the VGE1PS360008, delivering regulatory alignment and reduced risk in life-safety applications. This certification translates into improved risk management and potential insurance or compliance benefits by providing a proven path to meeting fire and enclosure safety requirements. It is particularly valuable in control panels, safety systems, and critical industrial applications where failure is not an option. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating is another notable feature, delivering enhanced corrosion resistance and mechanical protection. This results in longer service life in harsh industrial environments and easier maintenance, especially in outdoor or damp locations where metal surfaces are exposed to the elements. The 36 shell size and straight backshell adaptor simplify harness routing and mating in dense panel arrays, reducing assembly time and misalignment risk. Lightweight yet robust construction supports easier field handling and lower overall installation labor costs. The 51 mm length and compact footprint enable better space utilization in compact control cabinets, while the 82 g mass minimizes added weight on multi-connector harnesses. The 500 hour salt spray resistance further assures long-term reliability in coastal or dusty environments, contributing to reduced maintenance cycles and predictable performance across automation applications. Finally, the RoHS and REACH compliance, combined with UL94 V0 rating, helps you meet stringent regulatory requirements without compromising electrical integrity or mechanical reliability. In short, this connector delivers a dependable, compliant, and installation-friendly solution for industrial automation, machinery, and safety-critical wiring needs.

FAQs

VGE1PS360008 uses a straight backshell adaptor designed to mate with the VGE1-FER1 series, enabling quick, secure terminations in tight spaces. Its aluminium shell with black anodized finish provides durable protection, while the 36 shell size and 51 mm length fit densely packed harnesses. Always verify mating alignment with existing Souriau connectors to avoid misfit and ensure reliable electrical performance.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, supporting cold starts and high-temperature operation without performance loss. Salt spray endurance reaches 500 hours, and the aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides robust corrosion resistance in harsh environments. These specs translate to longer service intervals, fewer field faults, and consistent electrical performance in outdoor or industrial installations.
Yes. The VGE1-FER1 family is fire and smoke certified with a UL94 V0 rating, supporting safety-critical wiring in control panels, machinery, and safety systems. The RoHS and REACH compliance further ensures regulatory alignment, while robust mating and durable materials reduce the risk of insulation failure or misconnection under vibration and temperature cycling in demanding automation environments.
The connector carries RoHS and REACH compliance alongside a UL94 V0 flammability rating, confirming low-hazard materials and safe performance under fire exposure. These certifications support use in regulated industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation, while maintaining durable, sealed connections in harsh environments.
With a compact form factor, the VGE1PS360008 reduces panel cutouts and simplifies harness routing, speeding assembly. The straight backshell adaptor enables straightforward mating, while the aluminium shell and black anodized plating resist wear, lowering replacement costs. Overall, expect fewer field faults, faster panel builds, and lower lifecycle costs in automated machinery and safety-critical wiring.
