Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1VE241001M offers a 24-position layout with socket (female) contacts and a 90° backshell angle. This enables high-density harnessing while simplifying cable routing in compact enclosures, improving installation speed and reducing panel footprint in automation panels and vehicle harnesses. Application: ideal for complex control cabinets where space is constrained and fast, reliable mating is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminum shell with black anodized plating provides robust corrosion resistance and durable wear performance. This translates to longer service life in industrial environments and lower maintenance costs, particularly in outdoor or wash-down facilities. Application: suitable for harsh production floors, offshore installations, and process plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and a 500-hour salt spray tolerance offer reliability across temperature extremes and corrosive environments. This reduces field failures and warranty costs while ensuring continuous operation in extreme climates. Application: aerospace, railway, and heavy industry wiring harnesses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire & Smoke certification, RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 compliance provide regulatory peace of mind and a safer, compliant solution. This supports audit readiness and reduces risk in regulated sectors. Application: medical equipment enclosures, control panels, and safety-critical systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 24 shell size and 24-layout compatibility with Souriau VGE1-FER1 series connectors ensures easy cross-referencing and inventory management. This simplifies procurement, reduces stocking complexity, and accelerates integration into existing harnesses. Application: mature manufacturing lines and systems with standardized Souriau connectors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Sealing Gland backshell and 40 mm product depth with 83.5 mm height and 97 mm width deliver a compact, rugged package that fits tight spaces while maintaining IP-agnostic sealing performance. Application: compact automation enclosures and aerospace/industrial control panels where space utilization is critical.

FAQs
The VGE1VE241001M is designed for the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family with a 24-position layout and socket (female) contacts. It uses a sealing gland backshell and a 90° orientation, making it ideal for high‑density 24‑circuit harnesses in compact control panels. It mates with compatible Souriau connectors and standard 24‑position cables, simplifying part replacement and stock management.
This connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, ensuring reliability across cold environments and hot manufacturing floors. It withstands 500 hours of salt spray, and carries RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 fire/smoke certifications. Together, these specs support long service life in harsh industrial settings while keeping regulatory compliance intact.
Yes. The VGE1VE241001M is fire and smoke certified, featuring UL94 V0 flammability and dedicated fire/smoke certification for safe operation in protected areas. Combined with RoHS and REACH compliance, it is well suited for safety‑critical systems in aerospace, rail, and industrial environments where regulatory adherence is essential.
The 90° backshell orientation simplifies cable routing in tightly packed enclosures, reducing cable bending and strain on contacts. This improves mating reliability, accelerates field assembly, and minimizes panel clutter. The sealing gland backshell further enhances protection against dust and moisture, supporting durable performance in challenging environments.
The assembly features a 40 mm depth, 83.5 mm height, 97 mm width, and a weight of 299 g. While heavier than smaller connectors, its rugged aluminum shell and high‑density 24‑position layout reduce panel thickness, cabling complexity, and maintenance cycles. This translates into lower total cost of ownership and faster system integration.
