FAQs
For best results, route the 90° backshell to align with the enclosure entry, ensure proper grommet seating, and verify the 28-way layout mates cleanly with the female counterpart. The flexible conduit backshell supports curved pathways, reducing strain on cables and improving seal integrity in dynamic machinery.
This connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, maintaining contact integrity and resistance to thermal cycling. The aluminum shell with black anodized plating adds corrosion resistance, while the fire and smoke certified design minimizes risk in overheated enclosures, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial settings.
Yes. The VGE1SE282100L is RoHS compliant and carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke ratings, aligning with safety and environmental standards for regulated facilities, machine builds, and field installations in many regions.
The 28-way layout supports dense wiring with organized signal routing, while the 90° backshell enables compact, right-angle conduit routing. Together they reduce panel footprint, simplify cabling, and speed assembly, which translates to lower labor costs and faster deployment of automation equipment.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime, fewer maintenance events, and longer service life due to durable aluminum construction and robust sealing. Compliance with RoHS and UL94 V0 reduces regulatory risk, while easier installation cuts commissioning time and labor costs in new projects and retrofits.
