Eaton FER1B1819SZ Fire Bayonet Receptacle - 10 Contacts
Part Number: FER1B1819SZ
Quick Summary
Eaton FER1B1819SZ is a fire and smoke certified bayonet receptacle designed for reliable panel-to-cable connections in harsh industrial environments. On the shop floor, inconsistent sealing, misalignment, and slow field terminations cause unplanned downtime and project delays. This connector carries IP67 protection, a 500-cycle mating life, and a durable aluminium shell, helping teams meet strict safety and compliance timelines. The 10 crimp #16 contact configuration with a square flange receptacle design simplifies installation and enables quick field replacements without sacrificing performance. Fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, and REACH compliance further reduce risk in regulated sectors. By standardizing on a compatible, high-reliability interface, maintenance costs decrease and uptime improves across machines and panels.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fire and smoke certified bayonet connector with IP67 protection delivers a high level of safety and regulatory compliance. The sealed interface minimizes dust and water ingress, reducing the risk of field failures in harsh environments. In automation panels, rail equipment, and heavy machinery, this translates to fewer unplanned downtimes and quicker, safer maintenance operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminium shell and square flange receptacle design provide rugged mechanical protection while maintaining a lightweight profile. This reduces the panel footprint and simplifies mounting in tight enclosures, even under vibration. For machine builders, the combination streamlines wiring harness routing and helps standardize enclosure interfaces across multiple lines, cutting install time and the need for bespoke adapters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ten cavities for #16 crimp contacts, with thread coupling, offer a flexible, compact power and signal interconnect. The threaded mating ensures reliable engagement in vibration-prone environments, while crimp terminations provide clean, repeatable field terminations. This configuration supports quicker installs and easier inventory management for maintenance crews. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mating life of 500 cycles, along with RoHS/REACH compliance and UL94 V0 flammability, delivers long-term reliability and regulatory alignment. The connector withstands repeated mating and unmating without losing seal integrity, minimizing replacement costs. In regulated sectors, this reduces risk while supporting preventative maintenance programs and predictable ROI for automation projects and capital equipment refreshes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range -40 to 100 °C and IP67 sealing enable dependable performance in outdoor, underground, and harsh indoor environments. The 19-position layout with aluminium shell size 18 supports scalable harness planning and consistent interconnects across equipment families. For integrators, this means fewer special parts, faster installs, and a more predictable maintenance cycle.

FAQs
FER1B1819SZ uses a square flange receptacle designed to fit Eaton’s VGE1 FER1 footprint. It supports ten #16 crimp cavities and a 35 mm by 45.5 mm panel footprint. Ensure a compatible contact kit is ordered separately and verify the X orientation for correct mating alignment during panel mounting.
Key certifications include IP67 protection, UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, and fire and smoke certification. These ratings indicate resistance to dust and water ingress, flame-retardant materials, and regulatory compliance for global use. For regulated industries such as rail and process automation, these certifications help meet safety standards and reduce certification overhead on new equipment.
Yes. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C and IP67 sealing enable dependable performance in outdoor, underground, and harsh indoor environments. The aluminium shell provides ruggedness, while the sealed interface maintains reliability under temperature extremes, moisture, dust, and vibrations common in automation and heavy machinery settings.
Reliability stems from a robust threaded coupling and a durable aluminium shell combined with a sealed IP67 interface. The 500 mating cycles capability means repeated connections won’t degrade seal integrity or contact performance, supporting longer service intervals and reducing unplanned maintenance in critical lines and safety-related interlocks.
Ten cavities for #16 crimp contacts provide flexible power and signal distribution in a compact interconnect. Crimp terminations enable clean, repeatable field assemblies, while thread coupling ensures secure mating. This setup simplifies harness planning, lowers inventory complexity, and improves ROI by reducing installation time and ongoing maintenance costs in automation panels.
