Feature: Shielded backshell with sealing gland provides reliable EMI protection and environmental sealing, reducing susceptibility to RF interference and moisture ingress in tough factory settings. This design supports the VGE1TE200000 series’ 20 shell size with 33 mm length, ensuring a compact, field-friendly footprint. The included shielding element helps maintain signal integrity across long cable runs and high-noise environments, which translates into fewer diagnostic reruns and faster commissioning. Business impact: Improved reliability, lower fault rates, and faster time-to-value for automation projects. Application: Ideal for control cabinets, machine wiring harnesses, and inline connections in industrial environments. Feature: Aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers corrosion resistance and a durable finish, facilitating long-term service in challenging plants. Business impact: Reduced repainting or replacement cycles; installation efficiency is improved due to the 90° backshell orientation. Application: Panel builders upgrading to sealed, robust wiring.

FAQs
To install the VGE1TE200000, route shielded cables into the 20-shell backshell and seal with the gland to preserve EMI protection. Ensure mating connectors are aligned before a bayonet twist to engage securely. Use appropriate torque on captive screws if provided, and verify the 90° backshell clearance to avoid cable pinch. Maintain proper cable bend radii and avoid forcing the connector into misaligned positions.
Key performance specs include a 33 mm depth, 78 mm height, 93.4 mm width, 115 g weight, shell size 20, 90° backshell, and a black anodized aluminium shell. The operating temperature range is -40 °C to 100 °C, and the connector offers 500-hour salt spray resistance. It complies with UL94 V0, REACH, and RoHS, with explicit fire and smoke certification for safety-critical applications.
Yes. The aluminium, black-anodized shell provides rugged mechanical protection, and the 90° backshell simplifies routing in tight cabinet spaces. Shielding, sealing glands, and fire/smoke certification help maintain integrity under high-noise, high-dust, or moisture-prone conditions typical of industrial control panels, reducing maintenance and downtime.
The VGE1TE200000 features UL94 V0 flammability, REACH and RoHS compliance, and explicit fire and smoke certification. These credentials help manufacturers meet stringent industrial and regulatory requirements, support safer product declarations, and simplify procurement for customers with strict sourcing standards and safety-critical applications.
The connector’s shielding, sealing gland, and corrosion-resistant aluminium body reduce ingress, wear, and corrosion-related faults, leading to lower maintenance frequency and longer service intervals. Its fast 90° installation and compact size also shorten commissioning times, contributing to overall lifecycle cost reductions in automation and panel-building projects.
