Fire & Smoke certified UL94 V0 connectors reduce risk and accelerate compliance, delivering a trusted safety margin for critical enclosures and control cabinets. The VGE1VE282101M supports rapid field assembly with a bayonet coupling that aligns cleanly, minimizes mis-wiring, and provides reliable mating under vibration. In regulated industries, this translates into fewer change orders and faster validation cycles. Sealing gland backshell with a 90° configuration offers robust environmental protection and superior strain relief. The layout 28 design enables dense harness routing in compact spaces, while maintaining accessibility for inspection and maintenance. This combination supports simplified installation procedures and reduces service time during retrofits or expansions. An aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers weight savings and corrosion resistance without sacrificing mechanical strength. The 28-shell size matches standard connector densities, facilitating plug-and-play interoperability with existing Souriau ecosystems. Engineers benefit from consistent dimensions across product families, improving BOM accuracy and stock management. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C ensures functional performance across outdoor, industrial, and vehicle environments. The connector’s coatings and materials are chosen for resilience against salt spray (500 hours), supporting long service life in harsh climates. This helps buyers meet performance guarantees while reducing replacement cycles. Regulatory compliance is reinforced by RoHS and REACH adherence, alongside fire and smoke certification. The combination of certifications and mechanical robustness supports risk management, regulatory audits, and maintenance planning. Designers can specify this VGE1VE282101M with confidence for high-density control networks, automation cabinets, and critical wiring harnesses.

FAQs
When deploying the VGE1VE282101M, ensure the 90° backshell aligns with the enclosure clearance and that the sealing gland is properly seated to maintain moisture protection. The 28-position layout requires careful harness routing to maximize space, while preserving access for inspection. Use compatible mating connectors and torque specs from the Souriau/Supplier guidelines to avoid improper mating and ensure reliable vibration resistance.
Yes. The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, supported by an aluminium shell with a black anodized finish for additional corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures, process plants, and vehicle systems where wide temperature exposure and reliability are critical, reducing the need for alternative cooling or enclosure redesign.
This VGE1VE282101M carries UL94 V0 flammability certification, and RoHS/REACH compliance, along with fire and smoke certification claims. These certifications matter for safety compliance, regulatory audits, and customer qualification processes in industries like automotive, rail, and industrial automation, helping to meet internal standards and external regulatory requirements.
The 28-position layout supports high-density wiring in control cabinets, machine enclosures, and harness assemblies, while the sealing gland backshell provides moisture and dust sealing with reliable strain relief. This is particularly beneficial in aerospace, rail, and harsh-industrial environments where space is at a premium and maintenance access is essential.
The VGE1VE282101M weighs approximately 316 g, with a length of 46 mm, width of 104 mm, and height of 81 mm. This compact footprint, combined with aluminum construction and a sealing gland backshell, supports streamlined enclosure layouts, easier cable management, and potentially lower overall system weight in mobile or space-constrained installations.
