FAQs
The VGE1SE180000 uses a 90° backshell designed for flexible conduit and is sized for shell 18. Ensure the backshell is secured to the conduit, align the bayonet coupling with the mating half, then twist to engage. The 30 mm depth preserves space in compact panels, and the lightweight 58 g design minimizes handling effort during routing and assembly.
This connector is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0, and it also complies with RoHS and REACH. It is rated for salt spray exposure up to 500 hours and operates across a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The product specification identifies shell size 18 and a 90° backshell suitable for flexible conduit, with a black anodized aluminum shell that provides robust electrical and mechanical performance in space-constrained installations.
The connector measures 30 mm in depth, 92.2 mm in height, and 59 mm in width, with a product weight of 58 g. The compact footprint supports dense wiring schemes and streamlined panel layouts in challenging spaces.
Fire and smoke certification reduces compliance risk and potential rework, while the durable aluminum shell and corrosion resistance lower replacement and maintenance costs. The quick engage/disengage bayonet action also shortens install times, delivering faster project ramp-ups and improved lifecycle reliability in safety-critical systems.
