VGE1/
FER1
Series
Mechanical
• Mechanical endurance : 500 mating and
unmating
• Minimum retention force of the contact
in the insulator :
- 70 N for contacts # 16 (1.6 mm)
- 90 N for contacts # 12 (2.4 mm)
- 110 N for contacts # 8 (3.6 mm)
Minimum values with a maximum
displacement of the contact of 0.3 mm
(following NFF 61030)
• Retention of the insulator in the shell :
(following MIL-C-26482G Series 2 class
L standard)
• Bayonet coupling mechanism -
Coupling torque : following VG 95234
• Vibrations : following NFF 61030
Sinus vibrations : 10 - 100 Hz
Acceleration : 2 g
• Shocks : Acceleration = 30 g
Duration = 18 ms following NFF 61030
• Impact strength (free fall of the plug).
The connector plug is subjected to a free
fall test. The height of drop is 0.75 m.
No mechanical damage.
Electrical
• Contact resistance :
- 2.5 mh maxi for contact # 16
- 1.3 mh maxi for contact # 12
- 0.9 mh maxi for contact # 8
following NFF 61030
• Maximum current per contact :
- 15 Amps for contact # 16
- 20 Amps for contact # 12
- 30 Amps for contact # 8
• Withstanding voltage :
- 2550 Vrms for layouts # 16
- 3250 Vrms for layouts # 12 and 8
• Insulation resistance :
- ≥ 5000 Mh under 500 Vcc
- ≥ 4000 Mh under 220 Vcc
• Electrical continuity of the shells :
20 mh maximum
• In mated conditions
(interfacial seal is in compression)
minimum creepage distance = minimum
insulation distance in the air :
- 9 mm minimum for layouts with
contacts # 16
- 12 mm minimum for layouts with
contacts # 12 or # 8
Environmental
• Climatic category : -40ºC +100ºC
Dry heat test : +100ºC during 96 h
• Corrosion spray resistance : up to
500 hours salt spray
• Damp heat : 21 days, 40°C,
95% relative humidity
• Water protection : 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). (Immersion under 1m maxi
of water during 30 min). It is unsealed
when used with cable clamp without
grommet.

16102 and UL 94 VO
• Fluid resistance : gas oil, mineral oil,
acid bath, basic bath, following
NFF 61030
Material
• Shell in aluminium alloy with black
zinc cobalt plating
• Insulator : hard thermoplastic with glass
fiber
• O’ring and interfacial seal in silicone
• Retaining insulator ring in carbon steel
Robustness and high reliability
of the locking mechanism
