Fire and smoke certified bayonet connector is the core feature that directly supports safety-critical panel designs. Business impact: It reduces the likelihood of non-compliance during audits and speeds up commissioning by eliminating the need for additional fire-rated spacers or enclosures. Application: Use in control panels and machine housings in automotive, packaging, and process industries where fire safety documentation is mandatory and field service time is precious. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides robust corrosion resistance and a lightweight form factor. Business impact: Lower maintenance costs and longer service life in harsh environments, cutting total cost of ownership. Application: Suitable for rugged wiring and connectivity assemblies that demand durable metallurgy and reliable conductor contact. Straight backshell and backshell type for flexible conduit enable straightforward routing and quick assembly. Business impact: Faster installation reduces labour hours and minimizes field errors. Application: Ideal for tight panel spaces and complex harness routes in conveyors, robotic cells, and packaging lines. Socket (Female) contact and 20-position layout provide versatile connectivity options with a compact footprint. Business impact: Maximizes connector density in control circuits and simplifies harness design. Application: 20-position socket supports multi-signal or low-power lines in automation controllers. Broad environmental and safety certifications including RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0, with salt spray resistance up to 500 hours. Business impact: Ensures regulatory compliance across regions and resilience in outdoor or corrosive environments. Application: Suitable for offshore, outdoor, or chemically harsh settings where long-term reliability matters. Temperature range from -40 to 100 °C supports wide operating conditions. Business impact: Maintains performance and prevents electrical failures in cold starts or high-temperature operations. Application: Industrial automation and process equipment exposed to temperature cycling.

FAQs
When using a straight backshell with flexible conduit, ensure the backshell is fully mated and the grommet seats correctly to maintain the 20‑position layout. The 102.1 mm length and 33 mm width/height support compact panel routing, while the aluminium shell and black anodized plating reduce wear. Use appropriate extraction tools to preserve seal integrity during maintenance.
The connector is specified to operate from -40 to 100 °C, accommodating cold starts and high-temperature processes. This broad range helps prevent insulation or housing failures in harsh environments, supports reliable signal transmission, and reduces the risk of downtime due to thermal stress in automation panels and machine enclosures.
Yes. The VGE1SS201510M carries fire and smoke certification and UL94 V0 flammability rating, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. This makes it suitable for safety-critical control panels, enclosures, and equipment that must meet stringent regulatory standards in multiple regions.
The connector includes Fire & Smoke certification, RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 flammability rating. Salt spray resistance is rated at 500 hours, supporting corrosion resistance. These features help ensure regulatory compliance and long-term reliability for industrial wiring and connectivity installations.
The VGE1SS201510M simplifies installation with a straight backshell, 20‑position socket, and lightweight aluminium shell (70 g). This reduces labor time, enables higher connector density, and lowers field rework costs while maintaining compliance, safety, and environmental resistance—delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in control panel projects.
