Fire and smoke certification on the VGE1-FER1 family ensures enclosure safety, reducing risk of flame propagation in fault conditions and helping meet strict industry standards. This translates to faster approvals and fewer design changes during commissioning, especially in systems with dense cabling and limited space. In practice, engineers apply this elbow adaptor in machine enclosures where reliable containment is mandatory, keeping critical electronics protected while maintaining access for maintenance. Aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides rugged mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The 90° backshell and compact A35 layout simplify routing in tight cabinets, improving cable management and EMI performance. This combination supports easy installation with standard harnesses and reduces the risk of misalignment or damage during assembly and service. 40 A current rating and the 69.2 mm depth enable a high-power connection without oversized hardware, while the 87 mm height and 90.6 mm width fit compact panels, maximizing enclosure density and reducing overall system weight. Elbow adaptor design with female grommet and Layout A35 ensures compatibility with Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 family components, minimizing rework and accelerating field installation when updating legacy equipment. Environmental resilience is demonstrated by -40 to 100 °C operation and salt spray resistance of 500 hours, alongside REACH and RoHS compliance and UL94 V0. This supports long service life in factories, offshore facilities, and coastal environments, delivering measurable ROI through reduced maintenance and extended component life.

FAQs
The VGE1PE40A3509M is specifically an elbow adaptor in the VGE1-FER1 family, featuring a Layout A35 and socket (female) contacts. Its 90° backshell and 40 A rating are designed to mate with standard harnesses and the corresponding female grommet configuration, reducing rework when upgrading legacy equipment or integrating new controllers. This compatibility supports straightforward field installation and simplified stocking of matching components.
This connector carries UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification along with REACH and RoHS compliance. These certifications ensure flame retardancy, low smoke production, and restriction of harmful substances, which are critical for safety approvals, insurance requirements, and regulatory adherence in industrial, marine, and offshore environments. They also provide assurance to customers needing certified products for safety-critical enclosures.
Key dimensions include a 69.2 mm depth, 87 mm height, and 90.6 mm width, with a 40 mm shell size and aluminium shell. The device supports a 40 A current rating and Layout A35, with a 90° backshell. These specs enable high-current, space-efficient connections in compact control panels, helping optimize enclosure density without compromising electrical performance or safety margins.
Yes. The VGE1PE40A3509M operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and offers a salt spray rating of 500 hours, indicating strong corrosion resistance. It also meets REACH and RoHS requirements and carries UL94 V0 for fire and smoke safety. This combination makes it suitable for factory floors, offshore facilities, and coastal installations where durability and compliance are essential.
Engineers can expect easier installation due to the 90° backshell and standard mating interfaces, which reduce assembly time and risk of misalignment. The 40 A rating supports high-power connections without oversized hardware, contributing to weight and cost savings in multi-channel wiring schemes. The UL94 V0, REACH, and RoHS certifications also help reduce compliance-related delays and maintenance costs over the product life cycle.
