FAQs
The VGE1VE201501M is designed for 20-position, socket (female) configurations within Souriau's VGE1-FER1 series. It uses a 90° backshell and a sealing gland, making it suitable for control panels, industrial automation cabinets, and machine enclosures. Its aluminum shell and black anodized finish support durability in harsh environments, while maintaining compact footprint for dense wiring in panel assemblies.
Fire & Smoke certification, together with UL94 V0 flammability, demonstrates that the connector resists ignition and slows flame propagation. Coupled with RoHS and REACH compliance, this ensures the assembly meets global safety and environmental standards, reducing risk during audits and enabling deployment across rail, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Yes. The connector is rated for an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C, providing reliable performance across cold starts and high-temperature processes. This makes it well-suited for outdoor enclosures, harsh factories, and machinery subject to temperature fluctuations.
The Sealing Gland backshell offers enhanced sealing against dust and moisture while the 90° orientation simplifies cable routing in tight spaces. This reduces assembly complexity, lowers commissioning time, and improves long-term enclosure integrity, especially in compact control panels and robotics cells.
The VGE1VE201501M delivers high-density, certified connectivity with quick mating and robust sealing, reducing wiring complexity and field faults. Its global certifications support cross-border deployment, while the durable aluminum housing and RoHS/REACH compliance contribute to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime in critical automation applications.
