FAQs
For installation, use the straight backshell with the backshell type designed for flexible conduit and ensure a proper grommet is seated. Verify operating temperature range (-40 °C to 100 °C) and conduct a salt spray check (500 hours) for corrosion resistance. Align with the VGE1-FER1 series guidelines for consistent mating and safe fire/smoke performance.
Yes. The VGE1SS40A3500M is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and uses the 40 shell size with Layout A35, socket female contact, and straight backshell for straight conduit applications, ensuring seamless interoperability within the VGE1-FER1 ecosystem.
The connector is fire and smoke certified and meets UL94 V0 flammability requirements. It also carries RoHS and REACH environmental compliance, and offers salt spray resistance for up to 500 hours, with an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C for robust outdoor and industrial use.
Benefits include improved fire safety compliance, durable aluminium construction with black anodized finish for corrosion resistance, and a compact 40 shell size with Layout A35 that fits tight panels. The straight backshell and flexible conduit compatibility reduce installation time and field errors, delivering lower total cost of ownership in automation panels and process equipment.
Key dimensions include a length of 96.4 mm, width 63 mm, and height 63 mm, with a shell size of 40 and a total weight of 189 g. These specs aid in enclosure cutouts planning, ensuring proper clearance for the 0.096 m profile and avoiding interference with adjacent connectors in densely populated control panels.
