Eaton FER1B2214PX Bayonet Connector - IP67 Fire & Smoke
Part Number: FER1B2214PX
Quick Summary
The Eaton FER1B2214PX is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector designed for rugged industrial enclosures. Engineers often struggle to maintain fire-rated integrity while ensuring reliable mating and weatherproof protection in harsh environments. It carries UL94 V0 flame rating and RoHS/REACH compliance with an IP67 sealing, plus proven mating cycles in demanding applications. In practice, this means reduced downtime, easier compliance reporting, and safer, more durable harness connections for automation equipment.

Fire and smoke certified performance with IP67 sealing translates to safety compliance and reliable operation in harsh environments. The 19 contact pins for #16 wires offer high-density connectivity, enabling compact control panels and simplified harness routing, while a square flange receptacle with thread coupling ensures robust, vibration-resistant mating in machinery. With a 500 mating cycle rating and a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, maintenance cycles are predictable and downtime is minimized, lowering total cost of ownership. The aluminum shell size 22 provides a lightweight yet durable housing that resists corrosion in industrial settings, complementing RoHS and REACH compliance for sustainable procurement. Compatibility with existing VGE1 components streamlines panel design and reduces engineering lead times. Salt spray resistance of 500 hours further supports outdoor or humid installations, addressing common industry objections about longevity.

FAQs
Begin with the square flange receptacle orientation, confirm the insulator is not mounted, and prepare 19 crimp contacts for #16 wires. Use the thread coupling to secure the mating connector, ensuring the IP67 seal is engaged. Verify mating cycles and reinstall the accessory options if required, as these are not delivered by default. Follow Eaton’s installation guidelines to maintain fire and moisture resistance and achieve proper torque on the coupling thread.
The FER1B2214PX carries a UL94 V0 flammability rating and is designed for fire and smoke certification, enabling safer installations in safety-critical areas. It also meets RoHS and REACH compliance, with IP67 protection to prevent water ingress. These certifications provide regulatory assurance and help simplify documentation for safety approvals in industrial automation projects.
Yes. It is part of the VGE1-FER1 family and uses a bayonet coupling with a square flange receptacle. The insulator is not mounted by default, and certain connector accessories are sold separately. When paired with compatible VGE1 mating halves, you get consistent performance, shared mounting footprints, and streamlined spare-part sourcing for field retrofits.
Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 100 °C and an IP67 rating provides excellent ingress protection. The unit features a 500-mating-cycle durability, a 14-layout configuration, and an aluminum shell (size 22) with salt spray resistance for up to 500 hours. These specs support reliable operation in harsh industrial, outdoor, and corrosive environments while maintaining structural integrity.
The FER1B2214PX provides 19 contacts for #16 wires in a crimp configuration, arranged in a 14-position layout within a square flange receptacle. This enables dense, organized wiring for control panels and automation equipment while preserving ease of inspection and maintenance during service life.
