Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire and smoke certification is embedded in the VGE1TS201500M bayonet connector. This delivers strong regulatory alignment and reduces qualification time for safety-critical assemblies. Designed for use in rail, industrial automation, and heavy equipment wiring, it ensures reliable performance where fire exposure is a risk. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Shielding and a sealing gland with a female grommet provide EMI protection and ingress resistance. This reduces signal integrity issues and moisture ingress, cutting repair costs and downtime. Ideal for harsh factory floors and exposed installations where consistent electrical performance matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminium shell, 20-shell size, and black anodized plating deliver ruggedness with light weight. The straight backshell and 83.1 mm length simplify panel mounting and cable routing, enabling faster field installations in compact layouts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating range -40 to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance ensure reliability across temperatures and corrosive environments. Pair with RoHS and REACH compliance for regulated sectors, reducing risk of non-compliance penalties. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 20-position layout with socket female contacts ensures direct compatibility with standard mating plugs. Shielded construction reduces EMI and supports reliable operation in dense automation cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The combination of fire safety, shielding, and robust materials addresses common objections about long-term maintenance and lifecycle costs, delivering lower TCO and higher uptime in mission-critical systems.

FAQs
Start by aligning the 20-position layout with the mating connector, then engage the bayonet coupling while ensuring the sealing gland seats properly. Install the female grommet to maintain ingress protection and verify shielding continuity after mating. Follow the manufacturer torque guidelines to avoid over-tightening and ensure a secure, EMI-protected connection.
The VGE1TS201500M operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands 500 hours of salt spray, making it suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor environments. The aluminium shell is black anodized to enhance corrosion resistance, and the connector complies with RoHS and REACH requirements.
Yes. Its fire and smoke certification, shielded backshell, 20-position layout, and robust aluminium shell make it well-suited for rail signaling, factory automation, and heavy machinery harnesses where safety, EMI protection, and reliable mating are essential.
The VGE1TS201500M carries fire and smoke certification, RoHS, UL94 V0 flammability rating, and REACH compliance, ensuring safety, regulatory alignment, and environmentally responsible production for regulated industries.
The shielded backshell with sealing gland reduces ingress-related failures and EMI-related downtime, while the robust aluminium shell and durable plating minimize wear over field installations. Together with its wide operating range, this delivers lower total cost of ownership and higher uptime in mission-critical systems.
