FAQs
Installers should align the VGE1PS40A3507L with the mating half from the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family, then engage the bayonet coupling to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection. The straight backshell adaptor simplifies routing, while the male pin contacts ensure precise alignment. Use the supplied grommet where applicable and verify mating depth to avoid partial engagement.
Key specs include a 40 shell size with a layout of A35, aluminium backshell, and black anodized plating. The connector supports a -40 °C to 100 °C operating range, 51 mm length, 63 mm width and height, and approximately 119 g weight. It also offers UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, with salt spray resistance up to 500 hours.
Yes. The VGE1PS40A3507L is explicitly described as fire and smoke certified with UL94 V0 flammability, meeting stringent safety requirements for rail and other safety-critical installations. Its construction and certifications help ensure regulatory compliance and risk mitigation in passenger and freight applications.
Expect UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance. The data does not specify an IP rating or SIL certification, so for environments with additional regulatory requirements you should verify compatibility with your project specifications or contact Eaton for confirmation.
The bayonet design enables quick mating and disconnection, reducing installation time and field maintenance. Its corrosion resistance and wide operating temp range lower lifecycle costs by minimizing uptime incidents. In regulated environments, the RoHS/REACH compliance supports faster procurement cycles and smoother audits, delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits.
