Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1VE32A1301L uses a dense 32-position bayonet layout with male pin contacts to enable high-density connectivity in control cabinets, reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity, which translates to faster assembly and lower labour costs in automotive manufacturing and industrial automation. The result is improved reliability during vibration and thermal cycling, essential for robotics and packaging lines that demand consistent mating performance. Application: high-density control panels and machinery with strict space constraints and frequent cycle mating. The sealing gland backshell provides robust environmental sealing, protecting against dust and moisture ingress and extending service intervals, which lowers maintenance downtime in harsh factories and outdoor installations. Application: mining equipment and outdoor automation systems where longevity matters. The 90° backshell angle simplifies cable routing in tight panel layouts, enabling quick field retrofit and clean wiring harness management, particularly in retrofits of existing equipment where space is at a premium. Application: legacy automation upgrades and new builds with constrained clearance. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers corrosion resistance and structural rigidity, supporting long service life in washdown environments and steelworks automation projects. Application: food processing lines and automotive assembly where corrosion resistance is critical. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C and a 500-hour salt spray rating provide confidence in performance across cold starts and coastal or industrial climates, reducing risk of connector failure. Application: cold climates and high-humidity plants. The 52 mm depth, 96 mm height, and 120 mm width keep the footprint manageable while maintaining mechanical strength, supporting modular installations and standardized enclosure design. Application: panel-mounted connectors in control enclosures.
