FAQs
To install, align the socket-female contacts with the corresponding counterpart, insert, and initiate a quarter-turn bayonet engagement until a secure click is felt. Ensure the flexible conduit grommet is properly seated to seal against dust and moisture. Use standard hand tools for any mounting hardware and verify the 90° backshell routing fits your enclosure layout.
The VGE1SE181900M operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial processes. It features UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, and a salt spray rating of 500 hours, offering reliable performance in challenging environments and helping maintain long-term equipment safety.
Yes. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance, and the 18‑position layout supports dense wiring. The 90° backshell and flexible conduit compatibility improve routing and vibration durability, while UL94 V0 and RoHS/REACH certifications ensure compliance for control panel assemblies in demanding factories.
Key certifications include UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, and REACH along with fire and smoke certification. These ensure safe material performance under heat, limit hazardous substances, and meet global regulatory requirements. For manufacturers, this reduces risk during audits and accelerates time-to-market for equipment deployed in regulated industries.
The aluminium shell and corrosion resistance extend service life in humid or challenging environments, reducing replacement frequency. The 18‑contact layout enables high-density terminations with reliable mating, which lowers downtime during inspections. Lightweight construction also eases handling during installation and field servicing, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
