Fire & Smoke Certification and environmental compliance provide a solid safety baseline. The UL94 V0 flame rating, paired with RoHS and REACH compliance, reduces safety risk and speeds regulator submissions. In aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry, these certifications translate into faster approvals and safer equipment housings. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers rugged durability and corrosion resistance while keeping weight manageable. The 261 g unit maintains a compact profile within a 120.4 mm length and 46 by 44 mm footprint, easing enclosure design. This combination supports reliable EMI shielding and long service life in demanding environments. Backshell is a sealing gland paired with a straight orientation, simplifying gland-based sealing and consistent installation. Bayonet coupling enables quick mating on production lines, reducing assembly time and human error, especially in high-volume environments. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 series ensures supply chain consistency and spare-part readiness. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C covers broad industrial and outdoor applications. Salt spray resistance of 500 hours adds confidence in coastal, chemical, and outdoor installations. The 28 shell size keeps wiring harnesses compact without sacrificing mechanical strength. The combination of sealing gland backshell, straight alignment, and 28-sized shell supports repeatable, scalable installations. Design coherence across the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family reduces engineering cycles, obsolescence risk, and maintenance complexity. Engineers gain predictable total cost of ownership through standardized parts, faster field service, and easier sourcing. In practice, these attributes translate to measurable gains in uptime, compliance, and project timelines. Customers benefit from a proven, space-efficient connector that aligns with common gland configurations and control cabinet layouts. The VGE1VS280011 thus supports safer deployments, simplified procurement, and sustainable operational performance.
