Feature is fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0, RoHS compliance, and explicit fire & smoke certification. Business impact is enhanced safety compliance and reduced risk in regulated environments, enabling faster validation cycles for machinery and control panels. Application-wise, it suits harsh industrial automation applications where regulatory alignment is non-negotiable and where short panel fill times matter. Feature aluminium alloy shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and robust mechanical integrity, extending service life in damp or dusty environments. This 40 shell size with a 69.2 mm length and 90° backshell angle simplifies harness routing in tight enclosures, delivering quicker installation and less maintenance. Compatibility with the VGE1-FER1 family ensures streamlined BOM management and fewer connector variants, reducing procurement complexity and total cost of ownership. The adaptor backshell improves sealing in elbow installations, addressing common objections about space constraints. Operating temperature range of -40 to 100 °C and a 500 hour salt spray rating reinforce reliability in demanding plant floors and outdoor enclosures, supporting long-term uptime and predictable maintenance budgeting.

FAQs
The VGE1PE40A6009L uses a 90° backshell with an adaptor configuration and a 40 shell size, designed for straightforward integration into Souriau VGE1-FER1 series harnesses. Its aluminium shell and black anodized plating resist corrosion, while the 69.2 mm length and 90.6 mm width simplify routing in compact panels. For compatibility, match the layout A60 and male pin contacts to your existing harness layout. The elbow adaptor supports space-constrained installations, enabling quick, reliable field assembly with minimal rework.
This connector offers a 69.2 mm length, 87 mm height, and 90.6 mm width with a 40 shell size. It features a backshell angle of 90°, adaptor type, and male pin contacts, all in an aluminium shell with black anodized plating. It operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands 500 hours of salt spray. It complies with UL94 V0, RoHS, and fire and smoke certification requirements, supporting reliable, certified performance in challenging environments.
Yes. The VGE1PE40A6009L is specifically designed for fire and smoke certified applications, featuring UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS compliance, and explicit fire and smoke certification. This combination ensures that the connector meets stringent safety and regulatory requirements for critical systems in industrial automation, machinery, and engineered enclosures where fire safety is paramount.
The connector is UL94 V0 flammability certified, RoHS compliant, and fire & smoke certified, with REACH considerations addressed in RoHS/REACH context. While it does not advertise an IP rating, its corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, and salt spray endurance support robust operation in harsh environments. Plan for compliance review with your internal safety standards and confirm integration with any customer-specific certifications for aerospace, rail, or energy sectors.
By standardizing on the VGE1PE40A6009L within the VGE1-FER1 family, you reduce parts diversity and simplify BOM management, which lowers procurement and stocking costs. Its rugged aluminium backshell and 40 A-rated layout improve durability and reduce field maintenance, while its elimination of frequent reseating or resealing during servicing lowers downtime. The adaptor design and 90° geometry also speed assembly, accelerating project timelines and yield.
