Fire and smoke certification, including UL94 V0, REACH and RoHS, paired with an aluminum shell and black anodized plating, delivers safe, long-lasting interconnections. This combination reduces compliance tasks and minimizes corrosion-driven maintenance in harsh factory environments, supporting uptime targets for automation lines. The VGE1PS36A2208M is designed to withstand repeated mating cycles while preserving signal integrity across the 36-position layout. A 36-position layout with a straight back and adaptor backshell simplifies cable routing and mating alignment. In practice, technicians experience faster panel assembly, lower installation error rates, and improved traceability when wiring dense enclosures. Socket (Female) contacts in a robust aluminum shell deliver stable electrical performance and easy field replacement. Compatible with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, this adaptor mates cleanly with related interconnects, reducing stocking needs and enabling modular, scalable assemblies for growing machinery fleets. Operating from -40 to 100 °C and with 500-hour salt spray resistance, this connector maintains integrity through temperature cycling and harsh environmental exposure. The compact dimensions—51 mm depth, 57 mm height and width—plus 112 g weight, support repeatable fitment in constrained control cabinets. Installation with a straight backshell offers straightforward mounting and predictable maintenance rhythms, delivering lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and integrators. Coupled with reliable fire and smoke protection, the VGE1PS36A2208M helps safeguard critical safety pathways while simplifying procurement through standardization on the VGE1-FER1 family.

FAQs
Begin by confirming mating compatibility with your Souriau VGE1-FER1 family connectors. Align the 36-position layout, insert the socket end, and rotate the bayonet coupling until it seats with a distinct positive click. Use the straight back configuration and the adaptor’s grommet to seal the entry; ensure proper cable routing to minimize bending and stress on the contacts. Finally, verify retention and inspect for clearances within the 51 mm depth and 57 mm width envelope.
This adaptor carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification, plus REACH and RoHS compliance. It supports environments needing flame containment and low hazardous substances, aiding regulatory audits for industrial automation and control panels. Certifications also improve supplier qualification, batch traceability, and downstream safety documentation.
Yes. It is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and shares the same 36-position layout, straight backshell, and socket contacts, enabling seamless mating with related VGE1-FER1 adapters and panels. This compatibility simplifies stocking and supports modular interconnects across control cabinets and safety systems.
Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C, the VGE1PS36A2208M remains reliable across temperature cycles typical in industrial facilities. Its aluminum shell with black anodized plating offers robust corrosion resistance, and salt spray testing to 500 hours demonstrates durable exposure to humid, dusty environments.
Using this certified bayonet adaptor reduces downtime through faster mating and fewer misalignments, while its durable materials lower replacement and maintenance costs. The 112 g weight and compact 51 × 57 × 57 mm footprint simplify install in tight panels, and compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 family supports scalable, cost-efficient spares management.
