FAQs
Install by aligning the 20‑position layout with the mating connector, ensure the shielded backshell is properly seated, and secure the sealing gland and female grommet to maintain environmental protection. Confirm the 90° backshell angle supports your panel routing and check for proper mating alignment to avoid cross‑pin mating. Use appropriate cable seals to maintain RoHS/REACH compliance in final assemblies.
The VGE1TE201500M features a 20‑position layout with a socket (female) contact arrangement, aluminium shell with black anodized plating, and a 33 mm depth, 78 mm height, and 93.4 mm width. It operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands salt spray up to 500 hours, with shielded protection and UL94 V0 fire‑rating.
Yes. The VGE1TE201500M is designed for high‑reliability environments requiring fire and smoke certification, EMI shielding, and durable sealing. Its material construction and environmental ratings (RoHS/REACH, UL94 V0) make it a strong fit for aerospace, rail, and industrial control systems where safety and reliability are paramount.
This connector carries fire and smoke certification and a UL94 V0 rating, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. These certifications ensure compliant performance in safety‑critical enclosures, help minimize regulatory risk, and support faster qualification cycles in regulated industries.
Its shielded backshell and sealing gland reduce ingress and EMI, improving system reliability and reducing field maintenance. The aluminium, corrosion‑resistant shell and robust environmental specs extend service life in harsh environments, lowering total cost of ownership and enabling faster, more predictable installation in high‑volume manufacturing.
