FAQs
The VGE1VS221401M uses a straight backshell with a sealing gland and a layout of 22, designed for easy integration into standard aerospace and industrial control panels. When pairing with a compatible male counterpart, ensure the mating interface aligns with the 22-position layout to maintain the seal and electrical integrity. The 90.1 mm length and 37 mm width/height footprint fit compact enclosures, reducing rework during retrofits.
Operating range is -40 °C to 100 °C, with a salt spray rating of 500 hours, and an aluminium shell with black anodized plating. These specifications translate to reliable performance in harsh environments, including temperature extremes, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres, while maintaining electrical integrity and seal performance.
Yes. The bayonet coupling mechanism provides secure, quick mating under vibration, and the sealing gland backshell maintains moisture and dust ingress protection. The aluminium shell offers structural rigidity with low weight, helping to reduce vibration-related wear on mating interfaces over time.
This connector is fire and smoke certified and also aligns with REACH, RoHS, and UL94 V0 flammability requirements. These certifications support safety, environmental compliance, and regulatory acceptance across industries such as automation, energy, and manufacturing, reducing compliance risk for integrators and OEMs.
The sealing gland backshell and corrosion-resistant aluminium construction reduce ingress-related downtime and maintenance needs. The reliable mating and long-term durability lower the total cost of ownership by minimizing replacement cycles, service calls, and warranty incidents in critical control and safety systems.
