Fire and smoke certification is the cornerstone feature, delivering a clearly defined safety envelope for all electrical interfaces. Impact: it reduces the risk of flame propagation and helps you meet stringent industry safety standards without duplicating tests in each installation. Application: ideal for control panels, machine enclosures, rail systems, and harsh industrial facilities where safety compliance is non-negotiable. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant housing that withstands daily wear in harsh environments. Impact: faster service and longer component life, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Application: suitable for outdoor installations, factory floors, and equipment bays where heat and dust exposure are routine. Compact dimensions and weight enable dense wiring and compact backplanes. Feature: 52 mm length, 37 mm height, 37 mm width, and 122.6 g weight. Impact: reduces enclosure footprint, improves cable routing, and simplifies thermal management. Application: space-constrained automation panels and small control cabinets. Backshell design: Straight sealing gland backshell with female grommet (layout 2214) facilitates straightforward, tool-friendly installation. Impact: minimizes installation time, reduces misalignment risk, and improves ingress protection via reliable seals. Application: field retrofits and new builds that require consistent, repeatable cable entry. Compatibility and procurement efficiency: as part of the Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, it supports standardized sourcing and cross-compatibility across multiple projects. Impact: lowers total cost of ownership, simplifies spare parts management, and accelerates deployments across plants. Application: multi-site automation projects and revised wiring standards. Industry context and insights: engineers frequently encounter decisions between specialized vs universal connectors. The VGE1VS221405M's combination of fire safety, lightweight aluminium design, and a compact bayonet coupling offers a balanced solution that reduces training time for technicians and supports compliant change management during upgrades.

FAQs
Yes. The VGE1VS221405M uses a straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet, layout 2214, and is designed to mate with the VGE1-FER1 series. For best results, verify mating pair alignment during the bayonet coupling and ensure the gland seals are seated before final tightening to maintain the fire and smoke certified integrity.
The VGE1VS221405M is explicitly described as fire and smoke certified, meaning its materials and seals are validated to limit flame propagation and smoke risk in fault conditions. This certification supports safety compliance in critical electrical installations and helps streamline related regulatory documentation during audits and system approvals.
Absolutely. With a length of 52 mm, a height of 37 mm, and a width of 37 mm, plus a weight of 122.6 g, the VGE1VS221405M is well-suited for compact enclosures. Its lightweight aluminium shell and compact bayonet coupling facilitate dense wiring harnesses and easier routing in small control cabinets.
The straight sealing gland backshell with a female grommet (layout 2214) simplifies alignment and cable entry, reducing installation time and the risk of seal leakage. This design improves ingress protection and provides repeatable assembly across multiple panels, which translates to lower rework rates during commissioning.
Choosing the VGE1VS221405M supports procurement efficiency by aligning with the VGE1-FER1 family, reducing part variety. Maintenance benefits include fewer reworks, longer component life due to corrosion-resistant aluminium and durable plating, and quicker upgrades. Overall, this can lower total cost of ownership and accelerate multi-site deployments in wiring and connectivity projects.
