FAQs
Install by aligning the mating interface with the layout 1819 backshell and female grommet. Engage the bayonet coupling to secure a sealed, vibration-resistant connection. Ensure the sealing gland backshell seats evenly to preserve ingress protection and verify the connection is fully locked before wiring. This approach minimizes leak paths and reduces retrofit time in existing panels.
Key specs include a 52 mm product length, 30 mm width, 30 mm height, and a weight of 69.5 g. The shell is aluminium with a black anodized plating, and the backshell provides a straight sealing gland with a female grommet in layout 1819. These features support compact, durable, and sealed cable entry in rugged environments.
Yes. The product is specified with a straight sealing gland backshell and layout 1819, which ensures predictable mating geometry and simplifies integration with harnesses designed for that layout. Compatibility aids faster assembly and reduces the risk of mismatched connectors in control panels.
The VGE1VS1819016M is certified fire and smoke resistant, a critical requirement for safety in enclosures containing electrical control gear. This certification helps limit flame propagation and smoke development, supporting safer operation in industrial environments and aiding compliance with safety standards for electrical assemblies.
Typical use cases include control cabinets, machine enclosures, and automation equipment where sealed, quick-mating connectors are needed in harsh industrial environments. The aluminium shell and black anodized finish suit corrosion-prone or rugged settings, while the 52 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint support compact electrical designs with reliable performance.
