Fire & Smoke certified design reduces regulatory risk while supporting compliant, safe installations in fire-prone environments. Business impact: enhanced safety posture and lower risk of non-compliance fines or remediation, particularly in automated plants. Application: control panels and safety-critical equipment where fire-rated terminations are mandatory. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers superior corrosion resistance and durability, increasing mean time between maintenance and reducing replacement cycles. Application: harsh environments, outdoor installations, or wash-down areas where longevity matters. Straight back, with a backshell for flexible conduit, simplifies routing in tight spaces. Business impact: faster wiring harness assembly and shortened installation time. Application: machine bays with complex cable layouts. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance offer robust performance under thermal cycling and corrosive exposure. Application: process automation, mining, and heavy industry. The 32-layout, 32-shell size and socket (female) contacts enable dense, modular wiring. Business impact: scalable design supports future expansion without rework. Application: scalable automation networks. Compatibility with fire/rigorous environmental standards reduces lifecycle risk and supports standardization across facilities.

FAQs
VGE1SS32A1310M uses a straight back with a backshell designed for flexible conduit, enabling clean routing in compact panels. The aluminium shell with black anodized finish offers corrosion resistance, while the 32-layout matches standard harness grids. Socket (female) contacts mate with corresponding conductors for reliable, flame-retardant connections in demanding environments.
It carries a fire and smoke certification, plus UL94 V0 flammability rating, REACH and RoHS compliance. These certifications ensure safety and regulatory alignment across industrial facilities. The product supports operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands salt spray testing for up to 500 hours, reinforcing long-term reliability.
Ideal for automation panels, process plants, and safety-critical equipment requiring reliable conduit terminations. The 32-position layout supports dense wiring, while the straight backshell simplifies installation in tight enclosures. Its robust aluminium shell and black anodized finish resist vibration, heat, and corrosion typical of factory floors, delivering consistent performance in demanding environments.
The connector’s corrosion-resistant aluminium shell and black anodized plating reduce maintenance needs, while the 500-hour salt spray rating supports durability in harsh environments. For longevity, ensure proper mating alignment, use compatible grommets, and avoid excessive torque during installation. Periodic inspections should verify seal integrity and connector fit after thermal cycling.
Although the upfront cost reflects high-spec fire and smoke certification, the VGE1SS32A1310M reduces downtime and replacement needs in fire-prone areas. Its straight-back, 32-layout design speeds installation, minimizes regulatory risk, and provides a compact footprint that fits tight spaces, delivering longer service life and lower lifecycle costs in automation facilities.
