FAQs
To install, align the 28-position layout with the mate, insert the pin contacts, and engage the bayonet coupling until the straight backshell seating is secure within the sealing gland. Use compatible crimp contacts and proper strain relief to preserve signal integrity and maintain the 28-position arrangement. Verify environmental suitability and recheck alignment after vibration testing.
Key specs include operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C, 500-hour salt spray resistance, and a UL94 V0 flammability rating, plus RoHS and REACH compliance. The aluminum, black anodized shell additionally supports EMI shielding and corrosion resistance. These factors collectively reduce field failures and extend service life in demanding industrial settings.
Yes. The VGE1VS282111L family is fire and smoke certified with a robust 28-position layout, sealing gland backshell, and a durable aluminum shell, making it appropriate for aerospace harnessing, rail signaling, and industrial automation controllers where safety, reliability, and dense I/O are critical.
The connector carries UL94 V0 flammability rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, and fire and smoke certification. These certifications support regulatory approvals for critical safety and environmental standards, simplifying procurement and reducing risk during system integration.
Benefits include reduced maintenance due to corrosion resistance and robust sealing, faster installation from a straight backshell and 28-position layout, and lower downtime because of higher reliability in temperature-extreme and salt-pray environments. These factors translate to lower lifecycle costs and steadier production in automation-heavy facilities.
