FAQs
The VGE1SS360000 uses a Straight Backshell for Flexible Conduit and a 36 mm shell size, designed for straightforward routing in control panels. It mates efficiently with Souriau VGE1-FER1 series hardware via a secure bayonet coupling, reducing installation time and ensuring a reliable seal in straight conduit runs.
This connector carries RoHS and REACH compliance, along with UL94 V0 fire and smoke ratings. It also provides a 500 hour salt spray resistance and operates across a -40 °C to 100 °C range, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
For efficient mating, align the connector with the straight backshell and flexible conduit, insert the bayonet lugs, and rotate to lock. Ensure correct orientation to maintain the seal and rated performance, and verify coupling torque is within manufacturer guidelines to preserve environmental resistance.
Yes. With an operating range of -40 °C to 100 °C and 500 hour salt spray resistance, plus an aluminium shell with black anodized plating, the VGE1SS360000 is designed for demanding industrial settings such as manufacturing floors, outdoor enclosures, and processing plants.
The combination of corrosion resistance, fire and smoke certification, and quick-bayonet mating reduces maintenance cycles and non-compliance risk. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 family simplifies sourcing, minimizes spares, and accelerates project timelines, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in wiring and connectivity applications.
