High-density 32-position layout in an aluminium shell offers increased interconnect density while keeping overall enclosure size compact. This saves panel real estate and reduces wiring complexity, delivering measurable installation efficiency for large control cabinets and machine builders. The 32-position arrangement supports both signal and power circuits in a single harness, which is especially beneficial for automated lines and robotics. The straight backshell paired with a sealing gland creates a reliable sealed connection against contaminants, minimizing ingress paths and extending maintenance intervals. This configuration reduces rework during assembly and is advantageous in harsh environments where dust and moisture exposure is common. Socket female contacts ensure robust mating performance and consistent reliability across cycles, while the 32 shell size and aluminium construction resist vibration and bending in dynamic applications. Black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance with a professional finish, aiding field installation and thermal management in enclosed panels. Operating from -40 °C to 100 °C and with 500-hour salt spray resistance, the connector stays dependable in outdoor and industrial conditions, while RoHS and REACH compliance reduces regulatory risk. The UL94 V0 fire and smoke rating, alongside the sealed backshell design, delivers a proven solution for safety-critical interconnects in aerospace, rail, and automation, supporting faster time-to-value and lower lifecycle cost.

FAQs
To install, align the 32-position socket with the corresponding plug, engage the bayonet locking mechanism until it seats with a click, and ensure the sealing gland backshell is fully tightened against the mating panel to maintain ingress protection. Verify the straight backshell orientation and confirm the female contacts align with the mating interface to avoid misalignment during assembly.
The connector features a 32-position layout with a socket (female) contact configuration, aluminium shell, black anodized finish, and a straight backshell. It operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and tolerates up to 500 hours of salt spray exposure. It is UL94 V0 fire/smoke certified and RoHS/REACH compliant, making it suitable for safety-critical and environmentally regulated applications.
Yes. The VGE1VS32A1311M is certified UL94 V0 for fire and smoke performance, ensuring material behavior meets strict safety requirements in environments where fire containment and smoke suppression are essential, such as transport, aerospace, and industrial automation.
Industries including aerospace, rail, and heavy industrial automation benefit from these connectors due to their high-density 32-position layout, sealed gland backshell, and robust aluminium housing. They support dense interconnects in control panels, rugged equipment housings, and application-specific assemblies where reliability and fire safety are priorities.
The sealing gland backshell and aluminium shell contribute to extended service intervals by reducing ingress and corrosion risk, while RoHS/REACH compliance simplifies regulatory management. The 32-position layout reduces the number of individual connectors needed, lowering assembly time and inventory fragmentation, which translates to lower lifecycle costs and quicker maintenance cycles in demanding environments.
