Yes. The VGE1VS180009 is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and is designed for compatibility with existing VGE1-FER1 backshells and connectors. When integrating, match the gland size (size 18) and verify mating alignment to ensure seal integrity and reliable performance across legacy and new assemblies.
The product carries fire and smoke certification, which supports safety compliance in environments where flame and smoke resistance are mandated. The datasheet does not list additional marks such as IP ratings, CE, or SIL; verify your project’s regulatory requirements and, if needed, pursue supplementary certifications or tests per your specific jurisdiction.
The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance and durability, reducing replacement frequency in harsh conditions. The quick bayonet latch minimizes downtime during assembly and maintenance, while the lightweight design lowers harness weight and routing complexity. Over a full lifecycle, this can translate to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime in rugged automation and transport applications.
