VGE1 and FER1 series fire and smoke certified bayonet connector

We specifically designed our VGE1 1/3 bayonet coupling for railway equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, signaling and infrastructure companies. Reliable and ruggedized, VGE1 connectors are suited for 500 mating and unmating cycles and are derived from MIL-DTL-5015 and VG95234 standards.

With only a 1/3 twist of the bayonet, connectors are mated with an audible click and tactile feel to confirm proper mating. This mating system eliminates uncertain connections and reduces time and labor during installation. 

VGE1 connectors are resistant to salt spray as well as high vibrations and adapted for outdoor applications such as rolling stock or infrastructure equipment.
