"Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend."
The Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4E4A-G12-ZAJ/EA2L is a robust AS-Interface sensor/actuator module designed to streamline and simplify the connection between sensors, actuators, and the AS-Interface network. This module is equipped with four inputs and four electronic outputs, supporting both 2- and 3-wire sensors, as well as mechanical contacts. The outputs are capable of being energised with up to 24 V DC and can handle 2 A per output, making it a versatile choice for a variety of industrial applications.
Crafted with a one-piece housing that includes a durable stainless steel base, this module is designed for quick, tool-free installation and removal. The incorporation of metal threaded inserts with SPEEDCON technology ensures a secure and reliable connection. The module's flat cable connection utilises a cable piercing technique, which allows for a flexible flat cable guide and a straightforward setup.
Each channel is equipped with a red LED indicator that illuminates in the event of an output overload, providing immediate visual feedback for troubleshooting. The module also features communication monitoring that can be configured to suit specific operational requirements. The inputs are powered internally from the AS-Interface, while the outputs and connected actuators are powered via an external source.
The VAA-4E4A-G12-ZAJ/EA2L is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, boasting an IP67 degree of protection against dust and water ingress. It can operate within a wide ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 °C, ensuring reliable performance in varying conditions. The module's compact and efficient design allows for DIN rail mounting, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained applications.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4E4A-G12-ZAJ/EA2L module is a high-quality component that offers reliability and flexibility, enhancing the efficiency of AS-Interface network installations across a broad spectrum of industrial settings.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
