Fire & smoke certification and regulatory compliance translate to safer products and reduced risk of non-compliance fines in critical equipment. The UL94 V0 rating, RoHS, and REACH compliance ensure material and design safety for heat-intensive or regulated environments. The 30 mm length, 90.7 mm width, and 77 mm height, combined with a 90° backshell, enable compact routing in crowded panels while preserving shielding performance. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers lightweight durability and corrosion resistance, preserving connector integrity in challenging environments. An 18-position layout with male pin contacts supports robust signal integrity for control panels and robotics interfaces. Wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to 100 °C) and 500-hour salt spray resilience address outdoor and factory-floor reliability needs. Overall, this connector reduces maintenance cycles and supports faster assembly in automation cabinets.

FAQs
Install by aligning the 18-pin layout with the mating partner, insert and engage the bayonet locking mechanism until a positive click is felt, then secure the shielding gland and grommet. Ensure the 90° backshell routes cables cleanly, verify shielding continuity and sealing integrity, and confirm RoHS/REACH compliance after final mating. This approach minimizes field rework and maintains EMI performance in confined spaces.
The VGE1TE181900L family is fire and smoke certified and carries UL94 V0 ratings. It also complies with RoHS and REACH requirements, aligning with global regulatory expectations for safe, environmentally responsible components used in industrial and automation applications.
Yes. The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands salt spray exposure for up to 500 hours, backed by an aluminium shell with black anodized plating. These characteristics support durability in harsh factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and robotics environments where temperature swings and corrosion risk are common.
Absolutely. With an 18-pin layout, male pin contacts, aluminium shell, and a 90° backshell, the VGE1TE181900L is designed for high-reliability environments. Its fire and smoke certification, plus RoHS/REACH compliance, makes it suitable for both aerospace-adjacent equipment and rugged industrial machinery that demands robust EMI shielding and environmental sealing.
The 90° backshell provides space-saving cable routing, reducing panel depth and facilitating clean wire planning in tight enclosures. The shielding gland ensures a robust environmental seal and EMI/RFI integrity, while the male grommet supports dependable mating and leak-free operation. Together, these features shorten installation time and improve long-term reliability in automation cabinets.
