Shielded backshells with sealing glands deliver robust EMI/RFI suppression and environmental protection, reducing noise and contamination in crowded control panels and robotics layouts. This design supports easy routing of shielded cables while preserving signal integrity during high-vibration operation. The straight backshell and 24-shell size provide a compact, reliable mating interface ideal for space-constrained installations. Fire and smoke certification, including UL94 V0, reinforced with RoHS and REACH compliance, simplifies safety approvals and audits, accelerating commissioning in safety-critical machinery. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating balances durability with light weight, supporting easier handling and installation while resisting corrosion and wear. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C with 500-hour salt spray resistance ensures stable performance across climate swings and exposure to harsh environments. Together these features reduce maintenance costs and field failures, enabling faster deployments in industrial automation, control panels, and modular systems.

FAQs
Installing the VGE1TS240010 starts with aligning the 24-shell mating interface and guiding shielded cables into the straight backshell. The bayonet coupling locks quickly, reducing assembly time and misalignment risk, while the sealing gland maintains environmental integrity. Confirm the 105.1 mm length fits the enclosure and use proper strain relief to avoid cable damage during service.
UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH certifications provide documented fire and smoke performance and restricted-substance compliance. This simplifies regulatory approvals, reduces test repetitions, and lowers risk during audits and customer inspections. For safety-critical machinery, using VGE1TS240010 helps meet stringent industry standards and accelerates time-to-commission without compromising performance.
Yes. It operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, maintaining electrical performance through thermal cycling. Salt spray resistance up to 500 hours, along with an aluminium shell and black anodized plating, provides corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments. These attributes support longer service intervals and reduced maintenance in outdoor or wash-down settings.
Compatibility stems from the VGE1-FER1 family architecture, shared shell size 24 and straight backshell design, plus shielding integration that matches standard shielded cables. The 105.1 mm length and robust mating interface support modular system deployments and panel-to-cable assemblies. For best results, verify the mating pair is within the Souriau VGE1 family to ensure plug-and-play integration.
Investing in the VGE1TS240010 yields lower maintenance and downtime through improved reliability and fewer field failures, thanks to shielding, sealing, and robust materials. Faster installation reduces labor costs, while UL94 V0 and RoHS/REACH certifications minimize compliance risks and rework. Across multi-site deployments, this translates into measurable reductions in total cost of ownership and shorter project lead times.
