The VGE1SS32A1310L features fire and smoke certification that directly reduces regulatory risk for safety-critical equipment, while the lightweight aluminium shell lowers overall enclosure weight and supports easier handling in field installations. In practice, this translates to faster panel wiring, simpler compliance documentation, and fewer field failures due to degraded materials or poor mating integrity. The straight backshell for flexible conduit simplifies routing in compact spaces, improving cable organization and reducing installation time on crowded machine frames. Its 32-position layout, paired with a robust black anodized finish, delivers high-density connectivity without compromising environmental resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The combination of RoHS/REACH compliance and UL94 V0 rating provides confidence in material safety and heat resistance, mitigating long-term maintenance costs and ensuring consistent performance across shifts. Engineers can rely on repeatable mating and corrosion resistance from the aluminium shell, supporting long service life in harsh plants and offshore environments where salt spray exposure is a concern. Overall, this connector supports faster commissioning, safer electrical systems, and reduced lifecycle cost in automation and control cabinets.

FAQs
Installation steps focus on preparing the 32-shell backshell for a secure conduit interface, aligning the male pins with the mating receptacle, and tightening after ensuring proper seal integrity. The straight backshell design simplifies cable routing, reduces bending stress on conductors, and supports quick field replacements. Use standard torque values from Eaton’s installation guidelines to prevent over-tightening that could damage the aluminium shell.
Key specs include a 32-position layout with a pin male contact, aluminium shell, black anodized plating, and a straight backshell designed for flexible conduit. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 100 °C, with salt spray endurance of 500 hours. It is RoHS and REACH compliant and carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification, ensuring safety in controlled fire-safety scenarios.
Yes. The VGE1SS32A1310L is validated within the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family for fire and smoke performance, meeting UL94 V0 and explicit fire & smoke certification. This makes it appropriate for safety-critical electrical enclosures where flame exposure and smoke propagation must be mitigated, such as control panels in harsh industrial environments.
The connector is RoHS and REACH compliant, with a UL94 V0 flammability rating and explicit fire & smoke certification. These certifications support regulatory compliance for industrial machinery, facilitate procurement approvals, and reduce risk during audits and safety reviews in manufacturing facilities.
The straight backshell and 32-position layout enable faster assembly and cleaner cable management, reducing installation time and labor costs. Aluminium construction with a black anodized finish provides durability against corrosion and wear, lowering maintenance frequency. Combined with regulatory compliance, these factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s service life.
