Souriau VGE1 Railway Circular Connectors
Souriau VGE1 Railway Circular Connectors use a 1/3 bayonet coupling system with an audible click and visual locking indication for quick and secure mating. These connectors use aluminum alloy shells with hard thermoplastic inserts compliant with EN 45545-2 and NFPA 130 and support machined crimp, Quadrax, and ELIO contacts. The VGE1 connectors operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. Typical applications include auxiliary systems, communication systems, power distribution, and traction systems.
