Feature: Straight shielded backshell with sealing gland provides robust EMI shielding and environmental sealing. This reduces radio-frequency interference and protects sensitive electronics in dense cable runs. Compatibility with a sealing gland ensures consistent ingress protection and long-term reliability, even in high-vibration environments. It also supports compliant installations under RoHS and REACH. Business Impact: Improves signal integrity, minimizes field failures, and lowers rework costs across demanding installations. Application: Use in control panels, automation cabinets, and rugged industrial equipment where shielding and sealing are critical. Feature: Aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Business Impact: Enhances durability while keeping weight down for easier handling and reduced transport costs. Application: Suitable for aerospace, industrial robotics, and outdoor machinery where environmental exposure is a concern. Feature: Shell size 28 and straight backshell orientation with 95.4 mm length enables a compact footprint. Business Impact: Improves harness routing, reduces enclosure footprint, and accelerates assembly. Application: Tight-control panels and space-constrained machinery in automation and rail environments. Feature: Operating range -40 °C to 100 °C and 500-hour salt spray resistance with RoHS/REACH and UL94 V0. Business Impact: Trusted performance in extreme climates and humid or coastal conditions, with regulatory alignment reducing compliance risk. Application: Outdoor enclosures, military/aerospace installations, and harsh factory floors. Feature: Shielding is integrated with a straight backshell for reliable EMI protection and easy maintenance. This minimizes shielding gaps and rework, delivering long-term cost savings.

FAQs
The VGE1TS280000 is designed for shielded, straight-backshell installations. Its shielding is integrated with a sealing gland, delivering reliable EMI protection and environmental sealing for dense cable runs. This simplifies harness routing in control panels, automation cabinets, and rugged equipment while preserving signal integrity and reducing rework from shielding gaps. It also supports compliant installations under RoHS and REACH.
The connector meets RoHS and REACH environmental requirements and carries UL94 V0 flammability certification for fire and smoke performance. It is designed to help with CE-related electrical safety expectations and shielding requirements, making it suitable for automotive, rail, aerospace, and general industrial automation applications.
Yes. It operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, and offers 500-hour salt spray resistance, indicating strong corrosion resistance for outdoor, coastal, and harsh factory environments. This makes it a reliable choice for equipment exposed to wide temperature swings, vibrations, and humidity.
The straight backshell simplifies cable entry and alignment with mating connectors, reducing setup time and the risk of misalignment. Coupled with shielding and a sealing gland, it minimizes sealing errors and rework. The compact form factor (shell size 28, length 95.4 mm) fits crowded panels, accelerating assembly in automation and control applications.
Align the mating parts to the bayonet coupling, ensure the gland is properly seated to maintain ingress protection, and secure the backshell to prevent loosening under vibration. Use the aluminium shell with black anodized finish for durability, and verify operating conditions stay within -40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS/REACH compliance to preserve long-term performance.
