FAQs
The VGE1TS201510M uses a straight backshell with a sealing gland and female grommet, designed to mate with the corresponding Souriau VGE1-FER1 receptacles. Ensure the 20-way layout aligns correctly, then secure the backshell and strain-relief as per your harness specs. Confirm shielding continuity after assembly to maintain EMI protection and verify that the seal remains intact to preserve environmental robustness.
This connector is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0 flammability, and it also complies with RoHS and REACH requirements. The combination of fire/smoke certification and regulatory compliance helps you meet safety, environmental, and industry standards across automation, signaling, and safety-critical equipment.
Yes. With a -40 °C to 100 °C operating range and 500-hour salt spray resistance, the connector is engineered for temperature extremes and corrosive exposure. The aluminum shell with black anodized plating adds durability while maintaining a lightweight form factor, making it suitable for outdoor or demanding factory environments.
Industries such as industrial automation, rail signaling, and aerospace ground equipment benefit from the 20-way layout for dense interconnects, combined with shielding to minimize EMI. The straight backshell and sealing gland simplify harness routing, accelerate assembly, and improve long-term reliability in power and control systems.
The VGE1TS201510M provides durable environmental sealing and EMI protection, reducing corrosion-related failures and downtime. Its compatibility with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 series streamlines part sourcing, while the robust construction lowers maintenance frequency and extends service life in safety-critical automation installations, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
