Fire and smoke certification is built into the VGE1-FER1 series, delivering enhanced safety, regulatory compliance, and reduced rework in critical enclosures. This translates to shorter commissioning cycles and lower risk exposure during certifications, making it ideal for control panels and equipment housings in high-reliability applications. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and durability while keeping weight manageable for fast, tool-free installations in dynamic environments. The straight backshell for flexible conduit and the 40 size backshell simplify routing and mounting, enabling faster cabling and cleaner panel entries with layout A35 compatibility. Operating from -40 to 100 °C, this connector performs reliably across extreme temperature swings common in processing plants. Salt spray resistance (500 hours) supports longevity in outdoor and marine-adjacent industrial settings. The male pin contact topology ensures straightforward mating with compatible harnesses, reducing assembly errors and downtime.

The unit supports quick mating with compatible pins and grommets, reducing field service time and ensuring a reliable seal against dust and moisture.
Key specs include the 40 backshell size and layout A35, straight backshell angle, aluminium shell with black anodized plating, and male pin contacts. The dimensions are 96.4 mm length, 63 mm width, and 63 mm height, with a weight of 189 g. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 100 °C and salt spray resistance up to 500 hours.
Yes. The VGE1SS40A3500L carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and complies with REACH and RoHS requirements, in addition to fire and smoke certification to support safe operation in fire-safety sensitive installations.
Ideal for control panels, machine enclosures, and safety-critical wiring in automation lines. Use cases include robotics cells, conveyor systems, and processing equipment where reliable, fire-safe interconnects are essential. Its rugged aluminium construction and compatibility with flexible conduit speeds installation and reduces downtime in harsh environments.
Expect reduced downtime due to quicker field assembly and mating, fewer reseals thanks to robust sealing, and better lifecycle durability from corrosion-resistant aluminum and protective plating. Compliance with UL94 V0, REACH, and RoHS also minimizes regulatory risk, supporting long-term total cost of ownership in demanding industrial settings.
