FAQs
The VGE1VE181901L uses an 18-position layout with male contacts, designed to integrate into large harness assemblies without excessive cable management. Its 30 mm depth and 77×79 mm footprint optimize space inside control cabinets, panel mounts, and machinery harnesses while preserving signal integrity and ease of assembly in modular automation scenarios.
This connector is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0 compliance, and also adheres to RoHS and REACH requirements. These certifications help satisfy industry safety standards for electrical components used in industrial automation, reducing the burden of compliance validation during audits and system integration.
The sealing gland backshell provides environmental protection for routed cables, while the 90° backshell orientation simplifies cable entry and routing in tight panel spaces. Together, they reduce installation time, improve seal integrity on rugged equipment, and support easier maintenance in high-traffic or compact automation enclaves.
Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and rated for 500-hour salt spray, the VGE1VE181901L is built for harsh industrial environments. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance and robust mechanical durability, helping to minimize replacement cycles in outdoor, wash-down, or challenging factory settings.
The combination of fire and smoke certification, durable aluminium construction, and a compact 18-pin design reduces downtime and maintenance events, while simplifying spares management. The quick-connect bayonet design also lowers commissioning time, contributing to lower total cost of ownership across automated systems and control panels.
