VGE1 Series
Completely intermountable with VG 95234 : the MS 5015 reverse bayonet
connectors
Description
This connector series is an enhanced version of the VG 95234 connector standard but remains
completely intermountable with VG 95234 : the MS 5015 reverse bayonet connectors.
• This connector series is also in conformity with the French railways standard NFF 61030.
• The insulator is in hard thermoplastic, classified UL94VO. It is also classified I2F3 following
NFF 16101-16102 standards.
• An interfacial seal is present on the male inserts to extend the creepage distance and to have
a better sealing when the connector is mated.
• The insulator is retained into the plug or receptacle shell by a metallic retaining ring which
can be removed with a small screwdriver. Once removed, user can define insulator orientation.
• Contacts gauge 8, 12 or 16 are machined crimp contacts, removable thanks to a clip on the
contact.
• No tools are needed to insert contacts into the insulator. An extraction tool is available to
extract the contacts. The tool is engaged by the front face of the connector and the contacts
are rear released.
• Contacts are crimped thanks to very common toolings.
• The connector is rated IP67 when mated and used with backnut and grommet (please refer
to page 16 to check the wires diameters), or suitable accessories (ex: sealed backshell).
It is unsealed when used with cable clamp without grommet.
For rates IP68 and IP69K (in dynamic): consult us.
• Backshells can be derivated from VG 95234 standards or SOURIAU VGE1 backshells adapted
to the railways market needs.
• This connector can be supplied fully assembled or in component form (please consult us).
* FER1 is a threaded version of VGE1 available in sizes 18-22-28
