FAQs
Yes. The VGE1PS36A2208L uses a straight backshell adaptor design compatible with Souriau VGE1-FER1 family components. Its 36-position layout and pin (male) contacts enable straightforward mating with corresponding receptacles, simplifying installation and reducing custom fitting requirements in panel assemblies.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, covering extreme ambient conditions. It also withstands 500 hours of salt spray exposure, indicating strong corrosion resistance for outdoor or chemically challenging environments, which helps extend service intervals and reduce maintenance costs.
Industries such as rail signaling, industrial automation, energy, and process control benefit from certified interconnects. The Fire & Smoke certification ensures safety in enclosures, while RoHS/REACH compliance supports corporate sustainability goals and regulatory adherence across sectors with stringent environmental requirements.
Key certifications include UL94 V0 flammability, Fire & Smoke certification, RoHS, and REACH compliance. These assure safe material performance under fire exposure, minimize hazardous substances, and support regulatory compliance for products used in critical safety systems and global markets.
The connector’s robust aluminium shell, low mating force, and standard 36-position layout reduce field failures and stock variety. Its durability under harsh conditions lowers maintenance frequency, minimizes rework, and supports longer service life, delivering a lower total cost of ownership for critical systems.
