FAQs
The VGE1VS241001L uses a 24-position layout with a male contact arrangement and a straight backshell, designed to mate with standard 24‑position wiring harnesses used in industrial automation. Its sealing gland backshell supports straightforward field assembly, reducing installation time and minimizing misalignment risks. When pairing, verify connector shell size and pin count match your harness to ensure reliable mating and correct crimp or solder terminations. In practice, this means faster panel builds and fewer reworks during commissioning.
UL94 V0 indicates flame retardancy for the connector housing, contributing to safer equipment in fire-prone environments. RoHS and REACH compliance ensure restricted substances are not used, supporting regulatory conformity and safer supply chains. Together, these certifications do not compromise electrical performance; they complement a robust aluminium shell, sealed backshell, and stable contact geometry that maintain signal integrity, corrosion resistance, and environmental reliability in harsh industrial settings.
Yes. The VGE1VS241001L is designed for heavy automation and control panels needing reliable sealing, flame resistance, and multi‑channel I/O. Its 24-position layout supports dense wiring, while the sealing gland backshell and straight orientation simplify panel routing and field service. With a broad operating range and salt spray durability, it performs well in automotive, packaging, and process environments where uptime and compliance are critical.
The connector supports UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, and REACH compliance, aligning with common industrial safety and environmental standards. Its fire and smoke certification aids in achieving safety margins required by plant safety codes and insurance guidelines, while RoHS and REACH minimize hazardous substances in wiring harness assemblies, supporting sustainable product stewardship and regulatory audits.
Long-term value comes from durable aluminium shell and hard-wearing sealing gland backshell, which resist corrosion (salt spray) and maintain mating reliability over time. Reduced downtime from easier installation, fewer field faults, and lower rework costs contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership. Routine maintenance is simplified by the robust design and standardized 24-position configuration, which aligns with common automation panels and spare parts strategies.
