FAQs
The VGE1TS282100L is designed for the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family with a 28-position layout. It uses a straight backshell and male pin contacts, making it compatible with 28-pin back-shell assemblies and standard 28-way wiring harnesses in industrial automation and control cabinets.
Begin by aligning the mating half, ensuring the gland engages the gland seal properly. Install the sealing gland to seal against environmental ingress, then mate the connector until a positive tactile click is felt. Verify shielding continuity with your EMI tester and secure with any required locking mechanisms per the equipment’s mounting scheme.
The VGE1TS282100L operates from −40 °C to 100 °C and offers RoHS and REACH compliance with a UL94 V0 flammability rating. It also provides a salt spray resistance of 500 hours, supporting durability in harsh industrial environments.
Yes. The VGE1TS282100L is fire and smoke certified, aligning with life-safety requirements for critical systems. This certification, combined with RoHS/REACH compliance, helps reduce regulatory risk in safety-critical machinery, control panels, and industrial installations.
Weighing about 197 g with a 95.4 mm length, 46 mm width, and 44 mm height, the connector offers a compact footprint suitable for dense wiring harnesses. Designers should account for the straight backshell profile when planning panel cutouts and cable routing to maintain accessible mating and serviceability.
