FAQs
The VGE1SS280000 uses a bayonet mating action for quick, tool-free installation. Align the connector with the straight backshell, insert, and twist to lock. Ensure the shell size 28 matches the conduit adaptor and verify that the black anodized aluminium shell seats fully to maintain environmental sealing. This design minimizes downtime in panel builds and simplifies replacement in the field.
Yes, the VGE1SS280000 supports a backshell type designed for flexible conduit. When installing, confirm the straight backshell orientation and use compatible flex conduit fittings to maintain the UL94 V0 rating and RoHS/REACH compliance. Proper mating torque and secure seating prevent ingress and ensure reliable electrical continuity in dynamic environments.
This connector is fire and smoke certified with a UL94 V0 flammability rating and is RoHS and REACH compliant. It carries a fire & smoke certification suitable for regulated environments and supports reliable operation across the -40 °C to 100 °C temperature range, enhancing safety and regulatory alignment in critical applications.
The VGE1SS280000 is engineered for broad environmental tolerance, including operation from -40 °C to 100 °C and a 500-hour salt spray resistance. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exposure to damp, dusty, and industrial environments while maintaining electrical integrity.
Beyond safety compliance, the VGE1SS280000 reduces installation time with its bayonet design, lowers maintenance costs through corrosion resistance, and supports compact layouts thanks to its shell size 28. Its lightweight, durable construction also improves field handling and reliability in demanding automation environments.
