The 28-position layout and straight adaptor streamline mating between panels and cables, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment in control cabinets and rugged enclosures. This translates to lower field labor costs and faster project delivery on automation and machine-building jobs. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers a lightweight yet durable housing, minimizing weight load on overhead cable runs while offering corrosion resistance in harsh environments, which lowers maintenance frequency and replacement costs in manufacturing and process facilities. Compliance is built in: REACH and RoHS compliance and UL94 V0 fire & smoke certification help you meet safety and regulatory requirements, reducing risk for safety-critical systems and helping avoid penalties during audits. The operating range of -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance demonstrate resilience in outdoor or industrial settings, supporting uptime in demanding installations. The straight backshell adaptor and male pin contacts provide reliable mating compatibility with Souriau VGE1-FER1 family components, making field upgrades and spares management straightforward. With a compact footprint—51 mm long, 46 mm high, 46 mm wide, and 77 g—the VGE1RS282100L fits space-constrained panels and modular assemblies without compromising performance, offering a practical balance of form, fit, and function for engineers and procurement teams.
