Fire and smoke certification is embedded to streamline safety approvals, reducing time-to-test and accelerating commissioning in safety-critical automation installations. The clear business impact is enhanced risk management and faster time-to-value for new lines or retrofits, particularly in process industries and machine building. The 20-position layout with a socket (female) contact and sealing gland backshell enables dense wiring while preserving sealing performance in demanding environments, supporting compact harnessing for control panels and distributed I/O modules. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides a lightweight yet corrosion-resistant enclosure that improves reliability and lowers total cost of ownership in outdoor or challenging facilities. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray exposure translate to robust performance in extreme environments, reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 family and straight-backshell design offers quick, tool-light engagement and easy field servicing, addressing common objections about complex assemblies and extended installation times. In practice, installers benefit from predictable mating cycles, reduced risk of improper coupling, and improved long-term integrity for critical systems such as safety interlocks, emergency stop wiring, and distributed power feeds.

FAQs
Yes. The VGE1VS201501M is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and uses a straight backshell with a sealing gland, which simplifies routing and sealing in harnesses. Its 20-position layout and socket (female) contacts support straightforward mating with compatible mates, while the compact 83.1 mm length and 33 mm width/height help minimize space in tight control cabinets. This design is intended to speed up field assembly without compromising sealing integrity.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands salt spray for up to 500 hours, offering strong durability in harsh environments. It carries Fire & Smoke certification and UL94 V0 flammability, along with RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment and safer operation in safety-critical automation applications.
It is fire and smoke certified and UL94 V0 rated, which supports compliance with safety standards in environments where ignition risk must be minimized. Combined with RoHS/REACH, aluminum shell resilience, and sealing gland backshell, the VGE1VS201501M provides reliable, certified interconnects for safety-critical panels and machinery.
The 20-position layout enables a compact yet versatile wiring harness, reducing panel footprint while maintaining clear signal routing. Socket (Female) contacts paired with a sealing gland backshell support secure, sealed connections for dense I/O, improving reliability in automation cabinets and distributed control systems without sacrificing accessibility during maintenance.
The combination of corrosion resistance, broad temperature tolerance, and fire/safety certifications reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs in extreme environments. Quick mating due to bayonet coupling lowers labor time during installation and servicing, delivering faster ramp-up, reduced downtime, and an overall lower total cost of ownership for automation projects.
