Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VGE1PE280009 features a 28 shell size and aluminium shell with a black anodized finish, delivering high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in demanding environments, which reduces maintenance cycles and service costs in manufacturing plants. In practice, technicians benefit from easier insertion/removal during panel wiring and a reliable seal against dust and moisture, improving uptime in automated lines and packaging facilities. The 90° backshell adaptor enables compact routing in dense control panels, cutting enclosure footprint and simplifying cable management for machine builders and system integrators. Fire and smoke certification alongside UL94 V0 rating provides immediate compliance confidence, minimizing QA testing time and accelerating time-to-commission for new projects. RoHS and REACH compliance further support sustainable procurement and regulatory alignment across regions.
