FAQs
The VGE1VE240001 uses a 24-shell size with a straight sealing gland backshell and a 90° backshell option, providing flexible routing in panel designs. Its aluminium shell and black anodized plating deliver durable performance, while the 40 mm length and overall dimensions support standardized harness integration without custom adapters.
Fire and smoke certification, including UL94 V0, ensures the connector material and assembly resist combustion and limit flame spread. Combined with REACH and RoHS compliance, the product supports regulatory audits, reduces risk of non-compliant installations, and helps meet stringent safety standards for industrial automation, rail, and machinery panels.
Yes. The 90° backshell option enables tighter harness routing and cables to exit at right angles, improving space utilization in compact control panels. When paired with the straight backshell option, installers can choose the orientation that best fits the enclosure geometry and cable management requirements.
The connector operates from −40 °C to 100 °C, supporting reliable performance in extreme ambient conditions. With a salt spray resistance specification of 500 hours and a black anodized aluminium shell, the assembly offers strong corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance and replacement costs in challenging environments.
Key benefits include a standardized 24-shell form factor for rapid harness design, robust sealing with a sealing gland backshell, and durable aluminium construction. Fire and smoke certification, plus RoHS and REACH compliance, streamline audits and compliance processes while lowering maintenance needs and lifecycle costs through extended service life.
