FAQs

The VGE1VS221411L uses a 22‑position layout with a straight backshell and sealing gland, in an aluminum shell with black anodized plating. It is compatible with Souriau VGE1‑FER1 family components and standard 22‑position mating interfaces, enabling straightforward field assembly and consistent mechanical fit in powered enclosures.
This connector carries UL94 V0 flammability certification, and compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations, plus fire and smoke performance as part of the overall build. These certifications support regulatory approvals, safer product qualification, and reduced risk in safety‑critical applications such as control panels and transport systems.
The straight backshell with a sealing gland provides a reliable, simple seal at the cable entry, improving ingress protection and reducing the need for additional sealing components. This design streamlines field assembly, lowers potential leakage points, and supports long‑term environmental resilience in dusty, wet, or vibration‑prone environments.
Yes. The VGE1VS221411L operates from -40 to 100 °C and offers a 500‑hour salt spray rating, indicating strong resistance to temperature fluctuations and corrosion. This makes it appropriate for outdoor installations, offshore applications, and harsh industrial settings where reliability is critical.
The high‑density 22‑position layout in a lightweight aluminum shell reduces panel space and wiring complexity while maintaining durability. Fire/smoke certification, robust environmental resistance, and easier installation translate to lower maintenance costs, fewer field failures, and faster vendor qualification for automation deployments.
