FAQs
The VGE1TS181900M features an 18‑position layout with a straight backshell and shielded design, sized for compact industrial harnesses. Its socket (female) contacts mate with standard Eaton Souriau interfaces, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems while maintaining EMI shielding and environmental sealing. Ensure the mating connector matches the 18‑position layout and that the backshell gland is correctly sealed for environment class requirements.
Key specs include an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, shielded aluminium shell with black anodized plating, and a salt spray rating of 500 hours. The connector is fire and smoke certified (UL94 V0) and RoHS/REACH compliant, ensuring safety, regulatory adherence, and long‑term reliability in harsh industrial and outdoor applications.
Yes. The VGE1TS181900M is designed for high‑reliability applications, featuring fire and smoke certification, robust EMI shielding, and a corrosion‑resistant aluminium shell. Its compact 18‑way layout and shielding support precise signal integrity in aerospace and rail environments, while the sealing gland and grommet protect against environmental ingress.
The connector carries UL94 V0 flammability rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, and fire and smoke certification. These certifications confirm fire safety, restricted hazardous substances compliance, and overall environmental safety, which are critical for regulated industries such as transportation, building automation, and defense sector integrations.
The combination of fire/smoke certification, corrosion resistance (salt spray a 500 hours rating), and EMI shielding reduces field failures and preventive maintenance needs. The aluminium shell and robust backshell design simplify installation, lowering commissioning time and total cost of ownership in harsh environments and mission-critical applications.
