Souriau VGE1 And FER1 Quadrax Bayonet Connectors

Souriau VGE1 and FER1 Quadrax Bayonet Connectors are intended for railway equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, signaling companies, and infrastructure businesses. These connectors are robust and ruggedized, with a durability of 500 mating and unmating cycles, and are based on MIL-DTL-5015 and VG95234 standards. The connectors feature an audible click and tactile feel with only a third rotation of the bayonet to confirm proper mating, removing the possibility of an incorrect connection to save time and labor during installation.

The VGE1-FER1 connectors are salt spray and vibration resistant, making them ideal for outdoor applications such as rolling stock or infrastructure equipment. The connectors are available with electrical contacts, quadrax, and fiber optic technologies in the same shell design. These connectors find application in the railways industry.
