FAQs
The VGE1VS181904M uses a straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet and layout 1819, designed for rapid mating with compatible cables and panels. It simplifies installation, reduces tool requirements, and minimizes mating misalignment. Verify panel cutouts match 52 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint for a smooth, secure fit.
This connector is fire and smoke certified, meaning it meets specified safety criteria to maintain enclosure integrity during fire scenarios. While the datasheet emphasizes fire and smoke compliance, always validate the exact standard alignment with your regulatory and customer requirements to ensure site-specific acceptance and audit readiness.
Yes. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers durability and corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and damp environments, while the compact 52 mm length and 69.5 g mass support tight spaces in industrial automation panels and rail control cabinets. The bayonet mating provides quick, reliable connections even in vibration-prone installations.
The primary certification highlighted is fire and smoke resistance. In typical practice, engineers cross-check with CE and IP considerations based on the application, environment, and regional regulations. Use this connector to bolster safety credentials in control panels, ensuring alignment with safety codes and installation best practices.
Expect reduced maintenance due to robust corrosion resistance and a sealed backshell that protects against contaminants. The rapid bayonet coupling lowers installation time, translating to lower labor costs and quicker turnarounds on new builds or retrofits. Over the lifecycle, you gain improved uptime, fewer field faults, and safer, compliant installations.
