Fire & smoke certification and RoHS/REACH compliance provide regulatory alignment and safety assurances for critical equipment, reducing risk of non-compliance penalties and costly redesigns. The 40-shell size paired with the A60 layout and a 90° backshell adaptor enables compact, space-efficient wiring harnesses in dense industrial enclosures, improving installability in limited cabinet real estate. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers robust mechanical resistance and corrosion protection, extending service life in demanding environments and lowering maintenance costs. The socket (female) contacts and bayonet coupling support fast, tool-free mating and unmating, cutting erection and service time in the field and during panel upgrades. Temperature performance from -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance ensure reliable operation in harsh production floors and outdoor installations, reducing failure-driven downtime. Overall, compatibility with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 series accelerates procurement cycles and streamlines integration with existing connector ecosystems, delivering measurable ROI through faster assembly and long-term reliability.

FAQs
The VGE1PE40A6009M uses a 40 shell size with a 90° backshell adaptor designed specifically for the VGE1-FER1 family. This ensures straightforward mating with corresponding female and male contacts, enabling consistent alignment, reliable sealing, and simplified routing in compact enclosures without requiring adapter sleeves or custom housings.
This connector features UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification and complies with RoHS and REACH environmental standards. These certifications matter because they demonstrate flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and restricted substance compliance, which are critical for regulatory approval in industrial, automotive, and machinery applications and help protect end users from safety and compliance risks.
Yes. The VGE1PE40A6009M is rated for operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C, and its aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. This makes it suitable for outdoor enclosures, machine rooms, and other service-intensive settings where temperature and environmental exposure are concerns.
The bayonet coupling enables quick mating and unmating without specialized tools, reducing field installation time and maintenance downtime. The 90° backshell adaptor supports neat cable routing in tight spaces, while the 40-shell, A60 layout minimizes footprint on panels and reduces enclosure depth requirements, simplifying retrofits and upgrades.
Ideal for control panels, industrial machinery, and electrical enclosures, the VGE1PE40A6009M delivers regulatory compliance, fast assembly, and robust durability. ROI benefits include reduced wiring time, lower risk of non-compliance rework, improved reliability under harsh conditions, and longer service life thanks to corrosion-resistant aluminium construction and protective plating.
