Fire and smoke certified bayonet coupling delivers rapid, tool-free mating while maintaining enclosure integrity. This reduces assembly time and risk of partial connections, supporting high-production environments in industrial automation and transportation applications. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers excellent corrosion resistance and a light-weight, durable enclosure for harsh environments. With a 40 A rating, Layout A60, and a straight backshell for flexible conduit, the VGE1SS40A6010L simplifies power routing and reduces wiring complexity in tight control panels. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and enduring 500 hours of salt spray, it delivers reliable performance in extreme climates and wash-down areas. Compatibility with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family ensures consistent mating performance and supply-chain stability for multi-cavity, high-density installations. Installation time is minimized thanks to bayonet mating, and field maintenance is straightforward due to robust contact design and proven material compatibility. This solution supports safe, compliant automation deployment in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries, delivering lower life-cycle costs through durable, maintenance-friendly design.

FAQs
When installing the VGE1SS40A6010L with a flexible conduit, ensure the backshell is compatible with the conduit diameter and that mating cycles are clean and unobstructed. The straight backshell simplifies routing in tight panels, and the bayonet coupling minimizes tool requirements, speeding up assembly while preserving ingress protection and environmental sealing. Use appropriate grommets and strain relief to avoid excessive bending moments on the contact interfaces.
A 40 A rating supports higher current devices and short, high-load bursts typical in motor drives and actuators. This allows engineers to consolidate power feeds, reduce conductor counts, and simplify protection schemes. In practice, design the harness around the 40 A capability, selecting cables and fuses accordingly, while maintaining adequate derating for ambient temperatures (-40 °C to 100 °C) to ensure reliability.
Yes. The VGE1SS40A6010L is specified with UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS compliance, and REACH adherence, aligning with common regulatory requirements in industrial automation, machinery, and process equipment. This conformance streamlines approvals for global equipment builds and reduces the need for separate certifications when integrating with Souriau VGE1-FER1 series components.
Typical applications include industrial control panels, robotics, packaging lines, and material handling equipment where robust fire and smoke performance is essential. The straight conduit adaptor and male pin contact design suit compact enclosures and high-density layouts, enabling reliable power and signal transmission in harsh environments such as manufacturing floors and automotive assembly lines.
Maintenance benefits stem from a rugged aluminium shell, corrosion resistance, and a simple bayonet mating mechanism that reduces wear on contacts through fewer mating cycles. ROI is improved by faster installation, reduced field labor, longer service life in aggressive environments, and fewer warranty issues due to certified safety performance and stable regulatory compliance over the product’s lifecycle.
