Fire & smoke certification and UL94 V0 compliance address safety and regulatory requirements, reducing qualification cycles and accelerating time-to-market for safety-critical systems. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and durable aesthetics, extending service life in harsh environments and outdoor installations. The straight sealing gland backshell delivers a robust environmental seal while simplifying cabling and harness routing, lowering assembly labor and potential leakage points. Shell size 28 with dimensions of 95.4 mm length, 46 mm width, and 44 mm height keeps the connector compact for tight panel spaces, enabling cleaner enclosures and easier service access. A weight of 240 g keeps overall harness weight manageable, which is important for aerospace and rail applications where weight budgets matter. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C and a salt spray rating of 500 hours demonstrate suitability for extreme industrial environments, reducing maintenance cycles and replacement costs. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 series ensures easy system integration across existing souriau connectors, streamlining stock and procurement. The black anodized aluminium shell and sealing gland backshell also enhance resistance to wear and galvanic corrosion, improving long-term reliability in mixed-material assemblies. Overall, this connector supports fast mating, dependable sealing, and regulatory compliance, addressing common pain points in safety-critical wiring harnesses.
