The fire and smoke certification provides regulatory assurance and reduces risk of enclosure failures in safety-critical applications, delivering peace of mind for panel builders and end users in facilities with strict compliance requirements. The 32‑position layout combined with a straight adaptor supports dense wiring, faster assembly, and cleaner cable management, improving overall panel efficiency and reducing labor costs during commissioning. An aluminium shell with a black anodized finish offers robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments while keeping weight at a practical 106 g for easier handling. Operating from -40 to 100 °C, this connector maintains reliable performance across climate extremes commonly found in industrial plants and outdoor installations. The 500‑hour salt spray rating confirms resistance to corrosive exposure, while the adaptor backshell design simplifies field installation and mating with compatible headers, improving first-pass correctness and reducing rework. Compatibility with RoHS and REACH standards aligns procurement with sustainability goals and supplier diversity requirements.

FAQs
To install, align the mate and the straight adaptor with the socket (female) orientation, insert fully, then twist to lock the bayonet connection. Use the included female grommet for sealing and ensure the backshell adaptor is properly seated for strain relief. Verify the 32‑position layout aligns with the mating header to avoid cross‑contact and partial mating.
Yes. The connector is rated for operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C, enabling reliable performance in extreme industrial climates. This range supports applications from outdoor enclosures to high‑temperature equipment bays, reducing the need for multiple connectors and simplifying field support.
The VGE1RS32A1300M features UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification, along with RoHS and REACH compliance. These certifications help meet safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements for global deployments, particularly in areas with stringent fire/smoke and material restrictions.
This connector uses a socket (female) contact arrangement with a 32‑position layout and aluminium shell finished in black anodize. The combination delivers a compact, robust, and corrosion‑resistant interface suitable for tight panel wiring and demanding industrial use.
The VGE1RS32A1300M is rated for 500 hours of salt spray exposure and features an aluminium shell with a black anodized finish, providing enhanced wear and corrosion resistance. These properties translate to longer service life, reduced maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership in harsh environments.
