Fire and smoke certified design enables compliance with safety requirements while preserving fast installation cycles, reducing project risk and potential rework. This feature translates to measurable business outcomes such as accelerated panel assembly, lower inspection overhead, and improved regulatory alignment across plant safety programs. The straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet (layout 2214) provides robust ingress protection and reliable sealing, minimizing dust and moisture ingress in harsh environments and simplifying field servicing in industrial wiring. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers corrosion resistance and durability without adding unnecessary weight, supporting longer service life in demanding environments and easier handling during maintenance routines. The compact 52 mm length and equal 37 mm width/height footprint combine with a 122.6 g weight to save valuable panel space and streamline cabinet layouts, enabling more compact architectures and reduced cabling complexity. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 series and layout 2214 simplifies upgrades and standardization across legacy and new installations, delivering lower total installed cost and faster scoping for procurement teams. Field objections about bayonet reliability are addressed by a positive-lock mating mechanism that supports repeatable, vibration-tolerant connections, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection and rework in dynamic industrial settings.

FAQs
The model uses a straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet and layout 2214, designed to be compatible with the VGE1-FER1 series family. This pairing ensures reliable sealing, straightforward field installation, and consistent mating alignment, which reduces commissioning time and supplier variance when wiring harnesses in control panels.
The VGE1VE221409M features a length of 52 mm, width of 37 mm, and height of 37 mm, with a product weight of 122.6 g. These compact dimensions and modest mass support space-constrained panels and easier handling during assembly, shipping, and maintenance.
Yes. The connector is explicitly fire and smoke certified, a critical criterion for safety-sensitive installations in industrial control panels, process equipment, and energy facilities. This certification helps meet regulatory expectations and reduces risk during audits and inspections.
The bayonet coupling enables rapid mating and secure engagement, which shortens assembly time and improves line downtime metrics. The straight gland backshell with a female grommet layout 2214 simplifies alignment and sealing, while the aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers durability in challenging environments without adding significant weight.
Expect improved safety compliance due to fire and smoke certification, faster panel assembly from quick-mate bayonet design, and longer service life from corrosion-resistant aluminium with durable finishing. The 52 mm by 37 mm footprint and 122.6 g weight support compact, standardized wiring strategies, reducing total installed cost and enabling easier upgrades across VGE1-FER1 based projects.
