Eaton FER1D2821PW Bayonet Connector - Fire/Smoke Certified

The 37-position crimp contacts enable high-density wiring in a compact aluminum shell, reducing overall harness size and simplifying panel layouts. This improves manufacturing throughput by cutting harness length and minimizing wiring errors, especially in control panels and machine frames that demand tight routing and reliable signal transmission. The straight plug design further eases installation in constrained spaces while maintaining crimp quality for long-term electrical integrity. IP67 protection and an aluminum shell deliver rugged sealing against dust, moisture, and wash-down fluids in harsh environments. This minimizes field maintenance, extends service life, and reduces downtime in automation lines, with the 55.3 mm length and 48.1 mm width fitting neatly in compact enclosures while a 28 shell size provides necessary mechanical strength for vibration-prone installations. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C ensures dependable performance from unconditioned plant floors to cold storage areas, reducing the need for climate control and enabling installations in exposed locations. The wide temperature envelope lowers risk of thermal-related performance degradation in challenging environments, while enabling broader application. With up to 500 mating cycles, this connector is engineered for frequent connect/disconnect scenarios typical in maintenance or modular automation. This longevity lowers replacement costs and downtime, while the crimp contact design supports consistent electrical performance over the system life. Fire and smoke certification, together with RoHS and REACH compliance, reduces regulatory risk and supports safety-critical applications. This simplifies documentation, eases audits, and accelerates approvals in industries such as packaging, automotive, and process equipment, delivering a trusted, regulatory-compliant backbone for harness assemblies.
