Shielded backshell with sealing gland and female grommet provides robust EMI/RFI protection and environmental sealing, improving signal integrity in noisy factory floors and robotic cells. The business impact is lower downtime and fewer field faults due to electrical interference, enabling faster commissioning in automated lines and safer enclosure designs for critical equipment. This design is ideal for applications where space is limited and wiring density is high, such as CNC machines and packaging lines, delivering reliable harness routing and easier maintenance.Fire and smoke certification with UL94 V0, plus RoHS and REACH compliance, translates to strong regulatory alignment for equipment aimed at safety-critical environments. The application impact is enhanced risk management, simpler supplier qualification, and reduced rework during audits. These certifications support customer requirements for plant safety standards and environmental responsibility while maintaining performance under difficult conditions.Aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers a durable, corrosion-resistant housing that keeps weight manageable for rugged installations. In practice, this reduces total cost of ownership through longer service life and less frequent part replacements in outdoor or industrial settings. The straight backshell and 28- position layout simplify mating and harness assembly, accelerating installation and improving field service efficiency.Fitted with shielding and a straight backshell supports straightforward installation in tight panel spaces and enables clean cable management in control cabinets and machine enclosures. Expect improved EMI suppression, easier upgrades to shielded networks, and compatibility with standard 28‑way layouts across the VGE1-FER1 family for scalable automation projects.

FAQs

The VGE1TS282100M uses a straight backshell design with a sealing gland and a female grommet, aligning with standard 28‑way VGE1-FER1 family connectors. This ensures straightforward mating in panel-mounted assemblies and simplifies field repairs by maintaining consistent harness routing and shielding performance across compatible parts.
Fire and smoke certification is provided by UL94 V0 compliance, paired with RoHS and REACH. This means the connector resists ignition and limits smoke generation in case of a fault, helping meet stringent industrial safety standards and reducing risk during audits in manufacturing, packaging, and automation environments.
Yes. The connector features an aluminium shell with black anodized plating, operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and with a salt spray resistance of 500 hours. These specs support reliable operation in outdoor, dusty, or humid facilities, such as rail, mining, or outdoor automation installations.
Cite UL94 V0 for fire and smoke performance, RoHS for restricted substances, and REACH for chemical safety compliance. These certifications align with common industrial safety and environmental standards required in machine builders, OEMs, and integrators deploying rugged automation systems.
The combination of shielding, corrosion resistance, and robust mechanical design reduces field faults and maintenance needs. The 28‑way layout and straight backshell simplify upgrades and replacements, speeding maintenance cycles, minimizing downtime, and delivering measurable ROI in systems with frequent reconfiguration or expansion.
