VG APPROVED PRODUCTS - MILITARY STANDARD

After extensive product testing, TE Connectivity’s VG-qualified parts are certified as meeting the performance and functional specifications set forth by BAAINBw. Requalification is undertaken at regular intervals to ensure our products continue to meet these high standards. 

VG standards are comparable to the United States military standards (MIL-STD or MIL-SPEC). They are also recognized by countries aligned with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), including Armasuisse (The Federal Office for Defense Procurement) and Ministerie van Defensie (Netherlands).

TE's integrated harness systems have been developed for a wide range of defense and industrial applications. Each system consists of compatible components, including: 

• Wire and cable 
• EMI shielding braid
• Heat shrinkable components
• Adhesives 
• Connector accessories

All components are tested separately and as part of an assembled system - ensuring performance reliability. 

TE’s System 25 was designed to provide tough, flexible, fluid-resistant characteristics with a wide operating temperature range of -75°C to +150°C, and a balance of other properties to enhance the system performance. System 25 components are especially suited for military vehicles, aerospace and marine applications, and communication and test equipment. It is also used in the automotive and motorsport industries. Resistant to most common military fuels, oils, and greases up to +70°C, these materials are flame resistant and self-extinguishing.

TE’s System 100 was designed to provide halogen-free, low-fire hazard (LFH) characteristics. It is especially suitable for confined habitat areas in military, industrial, and civil applications. With an operating temperature of -40°C to +105°C, System 100 components are extensively used in surface and submarine vessels, as well as rail and mass transport solutions. These components are resistant to a range of fuels, oils, and greases. Components are designed to provide environmental sealing, strain relief, and flexibility. Their zero halogen and LFH characteristics ensure a low toxicity index, low smoke emission, and low corrosive gas evolution.

TE’s System 200 has an operation temperature of -55°C to +200°C and was designed for applications where continuous fluid immersion at high temperatures is required, such as military fuels, oils, and greases. Other benefits of the system include environmental sealing, flexibility, and high flame-retardancy.
