Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1VS181905M uses a straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet, enabling a robust seal that reduces ingress of dust and liquids in harsh environments. This translates to lower field fault rates and reduced maintenance cycles in control panels and machine enclosures, especially in automation lines where vibration and temperature fluctuations are common. Application-wise, this makes it ideal for factory automation, conveyor systems, and power distribution panels where space is constrained and reliability is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The aluminium shell provides structural rigidity and EMI shielding while remaining lightweight, cutting overall connector mass by comparison to heavier metal options and simplifying installation in compact cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Black anodized plating enhances corrosion resistance and wear life, extending service intervals in factory floors and outdoor-rated installations, aligning with lifecycle cost goals for OEMs and system integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 52 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint offer a compact footprint that accelerates harness routing and panel layout, enabling faster white-glove assembly during buildouts and upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1VS181905M’s compatibility with Souriau VGE1-FER1 series interfaces supports modular spares strategies, reducing spare part inventories and ensuring quick field replacements for safety-critical lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The bayonet locking mechanism provides quick mating and disconnection without complex tooling, reducing jacketing time and improving on-site efficiency for service teams working in confined or hazardous areas.

FAQs
Installation begins with aligning the mating interface, then inserting and twisting to lock the bayonet mechanism. Ensure the straight sealing gland backshell seats with the female grommet for a proper seal. Verify the 52 mm length and 30x30 mm footprint fit your panel cutout, and confirm both sides mate cleanly before commissioning. Use standard harness routing practices to avoid pinch points.
The VGE1VS181905M is explicitly fire and smoke certified, supporting safety-critical installations where enclosure integrity is essential. Its aluminium shell provides robust mechanical protection and EMI shielding, while black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in challenging environments. This combination reduces risk in compliance-driven automation projects.
Yes, this model is part of the VGE1-FER1 fire and smoke certified family and uses the layout 1819 with a straight sealing gland backshell and female grommet. For system-wide compatibility, match the catalog number VGE1VS181905M to other VGE1-FER1 mating interfaces to ensure consistent sealing, mating force, and environmental protection across assemblies.
The primary certification highlighted is fire and smoke certification. The provided data does not specify SIL, CE, or IP ratings; customers should consult the supplier datasheet or certificate documentation to confirm regional regulatory compliance and any additional protective enclosures or sealing requirements for their installation.
By delivering a quick-mating bayonet design with a durable aluminium shell and corrosion-resistant finish, the VGE1VS181905M reduces installation time and service downtime. The secure seal minimizes ingress, lowering maintenance costs and failure risk in harsh environments, which translates to lower life-cycle costs in industrial automation projects.
