Fire and smoke certification drives regulatory compliance and safety, reducing risk in enclosed or collaboration-critical spaces. The business impact is clear: fewer field failures, accelerated commissioning, and lower warranty costs in controlled environments. This connector is optimized for aerospace, rail, and heavy-industrial panels where tight routing and reliable seals matter, enabling quicker harness integration and consistent performance. The straight backshell with a sealing gland and a female grommet simplifies routing in dense installations, improves ingress protection, and supports straightforward installation with layout A10. Lightweight aluminium shell with black anodized finish delivers robust corrosion resistance without adding significant weight, improving overall equipment reliability. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and tolerating 500-hour salt spray, it maintains electrical integrity in harsh environments while supporting long service life and reduced maintenance. Compatibility with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family ensures procurement efficiency and supply chain resilience in multi-vendor panels.

FAQs
To install, align the mating components and engage the bayonet coupling with the straight backshell. Ensure the sealing gland and female grommet are properly seated to maintain the enclosure seal. The layout is A10 and the shell size is 14, with an overall depth of 78 mm and a compact 30 mm width/height profile. Confirm fit with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 series for compatibility.
Yes. The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, making it suitable for environments with wide thermal swings. Its aluminium, black anodized shell provides structural integrity and corrosion resistance, while the sealing gland backshell helps prevent ingress in harsh industrial or transportation settings.
The VGE1VS14A10015M is fire and smoke certified with a UL94 V0 flammability rating. It also complies with REACH and RoHS environmental standards. These certifications support regulatory compliance for aerospace, rail, and other safety-critical installations, reducing risk during certification audits and field deployments.
Ideal applications include aerospace panels, rail signaling and control panels, and rugged industrial automation enclosures. The straight backshell, sealing gland, and A10 layout support tight cabling routes in confined spaces, while the 14 shell size balances robustness with lightweight design for high-density wiring harnesses.
The connector’s corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, and fire/smoke certification translate to reduced maintenance and longer service life in harsh environments. The lightweight aluminium shell lowers assembly weight and handling effort, while the robust seal reduces ingress-related downtime, delivering measurable ROI through fewer field repairs and faster deployment in safety-critical systems.
