Fire and Smoke certification, RoHS, and REACH compliance provide regulatory confidence and safety assurances for mission-critical equipment, reducing compliance risk and facilitating smoother certifications in aerospace, rail, and industrial automation environments. This feature translates into faster time-to-value during system qualification and lower total cost of ownership through reduced rework and warranty exposure. Shielded backshell with sealing gland and a female grommet enhances EMI/EMC performance and environmental protection, delivering cleaner signal integrity and longer connector life in noisy factory floors and outdoor installations. The 32-position layout with a 90° backshell enables high wiring density and easier routing in compact panels, cutting harness complexity and installation time for control cabinets and vehicle systems. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers a combination of strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance, supporting longer service life in demanding environments while keeping overall system weight in check. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and with a salt spray rating of 500 hours, this connector delivers reliable performance in harsh climates, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime in industrial plants and transportation applications.

FAQs
This connector features a 32-position layout with a 90° backshell and socket (female) contacts, designed to pair with matching 32‑way mating halves. Ensure the mate is rated for shielded connections and that the sealing gland and female grommet are used per the straight shielded backshell configuration noted in the extended description. Verify panel cutouts and clearance to accommodate the 52 mm depth, 96 mm height, and 136.4 mm width, and follow RoHS and UL94 V0 handling guidelines during assembly.
The VGE1TE32A1300M supports operating temperatures from -40 °C to 100 °C and has a salt spray rating of 500 hours, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh industrial environments. It also satisfies Fire & Smoke certification and RoHS/REACH requirements, helping you meet regulatory obligations in aerospace, rail, and heavy machinery projects while maintaining performance under thermal cycling and vibration.
Yes. The VGE1TE32A1300M is fire and smoke certified and designed for safety-critical applications, including aerospace and rail harnesses. Its 32‑position layout and shielding help maintain signal integrity under EMI conditions, while the 90° backshell simplifies routing in densely packed wiring looms common to aircraft and rail interiors.
A 90° backshell reduces the effective footprint of the connector, allowing cables to exit perpendicular to the panel plane. This minimizes bend radii, simplifies cable management, and speeds up your assembly and service work in compact control panels, robotic systems, and aircraft/equipment interiors where space is at a premium.
Industries such as aerospace, automotive, rail, and industrial automation benefit from the combination of fire and smoke certification, RoHS compliance, and rugged environmental ratings. The connector’s high-density 32‑way layout, shielded backshell, and corrosion-resistant aluminium shell reduce maintenance costs, improve reliability, and shorten certification timelines for complex wiring harnesses and systems.
