FAQs
For correct mating, align the socket (female) contacts with the plug counterpart and ensure the straight backshell engages fully. Use appropriate strain relief and cable gland interfaces compatible with the 32‑contact layout to prevent cable movement that could compromise connections or sealing. Verify the sealing gland backshell is properly seated to maintain environmental protection in demanding environments.
This connector carries UL94 V0 fire rating, RoHS, and REACH compliance. These certifications help ensure flame resistance, restrict hazardous substances, and meet regulatory requirements for manufacturing and product stewardship. They are critical for industries with strict safety and environmental standards, such as machinery, automation, and aerospace-related applications.
Yes. The product features an aluminium shell with black anodized plating, a straight backshell with sealing gland, and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C. It also withstands at least 500 hours of salt spray, making it well suited for harsh environments, coastal facilities, and exposed industrial installations.
The 32‑position layout enables high‑density harnessing in automation cabinets, control panels, and complex machinery. It supports scalable channel counts without extra splices, improves cable routing, and simplifies integration with the VGE1‑FER1 series. This is particularly advantageous in OEM builds requiring modular, scalable wiring solutions.
Plan for regular visual inspections of the backshell seals and contact integrity, especially in dusty or corrosive environments. The RoHS/REACH compliance supports reduced environmental impact, while the corrosion resistance of the aluminium shell and salt spray tolerance minimizes replacement frequency. Keep spares of the VGE1 family on hand to simplify field upgrades and reduce downtime.
