Fire and smoke certification is built into the VGE1SS181910L, reflecting the VGE1-FER1 family. This feature supports safety compliance for critical enclosures in automation plants, reducing risk of non-compliance penalties and downtime while easing regulatory audits. The result is faster commissioning and a safer, proven solution for control cabinets and electrical rooms. Compact footprint with a 102.1 mm length and 30x30 mm profile, weighing 53.7 g, saves panel space and simplifies harness routing. In practice, installers can achieve cleaner installations in tight spaces, accelerating assembly lines and reducing time-to-production for automated equipment. The design supports a straight backshell for flexible conduit, enabling straightforward cable management and reliable field servicing in busy production environments. High-density 18-pin layout allows scalable connectivity within a single housing, delivering cost-effective multi-pin solutions for expanding automation architectures. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance and durability, extending service life in challenging plants while maintaining a professional finish that tolerates frequent maintenance access. Rust-resistant materials and robust finishes minimize maintenance cycles and replacement costs, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in long-running deployments. The VGE1SS181910L is compatible with the broader Souriau VGE1-FER1 series, ensuring consistent performance across product families and simplifying spare-part planning for manufacturing operations. This compatibility supports standardization across electrical harnesses and panel assemblies, reducing training requirements for installation technicians and improving procurement predictability.

FAQs
When installing the VGE1SS181910L, ensure the straight backshell aligns with the conduit run and that the flexible conduit is properly supported to prevent strain on the 18-pin male contacts. Use appropriate sealing and mounting hardware to maintain the fire and smoke certification integrity, and verify RoHS/REACH compliance during final assembly. Allow for adequate service clearance for maintenance and inspection.
The connector features an 18-position layout with male pin contacts, an aluminium shell, and black anodized finish. It measures 102.1 mm in depth with a 30x30 mm footprint and weighs 53.7 g. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 100 C, with salt-spray resistance rated at 500 hours. Certifications include REACH, RoHS, and UL94 V0 flammability, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Yes. The VGE1SS181910L is designed with an 18-pin layout and pin (male) contacts, consistent with the VGE1-FER1 series. This configuration supports compact, high-density connections in control panels and harness assemblies, enabling scalable wiring while maintaining reliable mating performance in rugged environments.
This connector carries fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0 flammability, and RoHS/REACH environmental compliance. These certifications support safety, regulatory audits, and environmental requirements in regulated industries such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation. They enable easier approval for panel assemblies and enclosures in facilities with strict fire, safety, and green-supply chain standards.
The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance, while salt spray endurance and a robust straight backshell simplify field servicing. This reduces maintenance frequency and downtime, extending service life and lowering lifecycle costs. High-density 18-pin connectivity also minimizes the number of separate connectors required, improving assembly efficiency and reducing spare-part inventory needs in harsh and outdoor environments.
