Eaton FER1B2821SZ Fire & Smoke Receptacle - IP67

Fire and smoke certification for the FER1B2821SZ bayonet connector ensures regulatory compliance and enhances safety in critical installations. This translates to lower certification risk, smoother customer audits, and reduced rework in the field. Ideal applications include industrial automation panels, railway signaling enclosures, and safety-critical machinery where fire-rated connections are mandatory. IP67 ingress protection combined with a robust 500 mating cycle life minimizes field maintenance and protects against dust, water jets, and harsh environments. The business impact is longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership for harsh-duty equipment. Use cases include outdoor enclosures, manufacturing lines in dusty plants, and equipment in wet or humid environments. High-density 37-contact layout with 37 #16 crimp contacts enables compact, reliable wiring harnesses. This improves efficiency in panel wiring and reduces harness complexity, cutting assembly time and potential mis-wiring. Suitable for machine builders, control panels, and automation racks needing dense, standardized interconnects. Aluminium shell with a 28-size shell and square flange receptacle provides mechanical strength while keeping weight manageable. The threaded coupling offers secure mating in vibration-rich environments, which translates to fewer loose connections and fewer service calls. This is particularly advantageous for aerospace, rail, and industrial machinery where vibration resistance matters. Installation flexibility is supported by insulator orientation not mounted and "Not delivered" contact delivery, which allows system integrators to select compatible components. Accessory options are available separately, enabling customization for specific panel designs. The result is a plug-and-play approach that reduces project risk and speeds time-to-value.
