"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."
The Pepperl + Fuchs VAA-4EA-K3-ZE/E2 is a sophisticated AS-Interface sensor/actuator module designed to streamline and enhance the efficiency of industrial automation systems. This junction box module boasts four inputs compatible with both 2- and 3-wire sensors, alongside four electronic outputs, providing a versatile solution for a wide range of applications.
Crafted with precision, the module is certified with the AS-Interface standard and requires a master specification of V2.0 or higher, ensuring seamless integration into existing AS-Interface networks. The compact design, with a mere 39 mm thickness, allows for convenient installation within a junction box, saving valuable space in crowded control panels.
The VAA-4EA-K3-ZE/E2 module is engineered for ease of use, featuring an integrated addressing jack for straightforward configuration and a clear indication system with LEDs that display the status of power, inputs, and outputs. The module's inputs and outputs are powered by an external 24 V DC auxiliary voltage, which is indicated by a green LED when available.
With the ability to snap onto a 35 mm DIN Rail per EN 50022, installation is quick and hassle-free. The screw terminals accommodate conductors up to 2.5 mm², facilitating secure and reliable connections. Each output can handle up to 0.5 A per channel, and the module's operational integrity is maintained across a wide temperature range from -25 to 60 °C, making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.
The VAA-4EA-K3-ZE/E2 module is not only robust in design but also compliant with key industry standards, including a protection rating of IP20, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of industrial applications. Whether used in manufacturing, processing, or other automation tasks, this module is an essential component for modern industrial operations seeking to optimise performance and reliability.

Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
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
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.Chris Sentance
