FAQs
When installing the VGE1SE400000 with flexible conduit, ensure the backshell is correctly oriented for a 40 mm size and that the 90° backshell angle is used for tight spaces. Verify mating with Souriau VGE1‑FER1 series components, secure with the bayonet coupling, and confirm RoHS/REACH compliance. Use appropriate sealing methods to maintain environmental resistance and prevent ingress.
UL94 V0 certification indicates high flame retardancy, allowing the connector to resist ignition and self-extinguish quickly. This reduces fire risk within enclosures and control panels, supports compliance with safety standards in machine assemblies, and simplifies procurement by meeting common industry fire safety requirements for wiring and connectivity in harsh environments.
Yes. The VGE1SE400000 is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and is designed for compatibility with souriau VGE1‑FER1 series fire and smoke certified bayonet connectors. Its 40 size backshell and straight conduit adaptor geometry align with standard Souriau mating interfaces, enabling rapid replacement and streamlined procurement within existing automation and control panel ecosystems.
The connector supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and is rated for salt spray exposure for up to 500 hours. It carries flammability rating UL94 V0 and compliance to RoHS and REACH, ensuring material safety and regulatory alignment for harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
Using the VGE1SE400000 reduces rework by delivering certified, plug‑and‑play connections with predictable mating cycles.
