FAQs

Install by aligning the 24-position layout with the mating connector, insert through the panel cutout, and twist the bayonet coupling until it locks securely. Use the backshell designed for flexible conduit and ensure the grommet seats properly to maintain the fire/smoke rating. Verify 90° backshell clearance for neat routing and conduct a post‑install electrical check.
Key specs include a 24-position (layout 24) socket (female) contact, aluminium shell with black anodized plating, operating temperature range -40 to 100 °C, and 500-hour salt spray resistance. Certifications include UL94 V0 fire rating plus RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring safe use in regulated environments.
Yes. The VGE1SE241000M is part of the VGE1-FER1 series, featuring the 24-position layout and a backshell suitable for flexible conduit. Its 90° backshell orientation and 24-position configuration support scalable harnessing in modern control cabinets and automation panels.
Best suited for control panels, automation cabinets, and machinery in harsh industrial environments where fire/smoke safety is critical. Its corrosion resistance, wide operating temperature, and space-efficient backshell design make it ideal for compact installations requiring reliable, compliant interconnects.
The durable aluminium shell with corrosion resistance reduces replacement costs, while the quick-lock bayonet coupling minimizes installation time and field errors. Its certifications support easier regulatory audits, lower downtime, and longer service life in demanding facilities, improving overall return on investment.
