Eaton VGE1PS14A1000M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke
Part Number: VGE1PS14A1000M
Quick Summary
VGE1PS14A1000M is a fire-rated bayonet connector for reliable interconnects in aerospace, rail, and industrial controls. Engineers often struggle with maintaining fire and smoke certification while matching legacy harness layouts, especially in compact equipment enclosures. The solution supports UL94 V0 fire and smoke certification, RoHS, and REACH environmental standards to simplify approvals. With a 14 shell size and A10 layout, plus a straight backshell adaptor, this part enables faster assembly, improved signal integrity, and easier installation in space-constrained harnesses. Operationally, you gain reduced downtime from straightforward mating and robust performance across -40 to 100 °C, plus corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments.

Fire & Smoke certification is a core capability, delivering UL94 V0 compliance and supporting RoHS/REACH environmental standards. This translates to lower regulatory risk and smoother procurement cycles for qualified designs. In aerospace, rail, and rugged industrial controls, you gain verifiable safety margins and easier certification handoffs. Aluminium shell with a 14 shell size and black anodized plating provides a lightweight, durable enclosure that withstands vibration and corrosion. This reduces total harness weight and simplifies on-site handling, while maintaining EMI shielding and mating durability for aerospace or industrial installations. Straight backshell adaptor and adaptor-style housing streamline mating in confined wiring looms. The socket (female) contact and straight alignment minimize misalignment and rework during panel assembly, improving first-pass yield in factory and on aircraft maintenance. Operating from -40 to 100 °C with 500-hour salt spray resistance demonstrates reliability in extreme environments. This means fewer field failures and longer service intervals, reducing maintenance costs for equipment operating in temperature and humidity extremes. Compatibility across the 14-shell size and A10 layout ensures broad mating compatibility with mating cables and connectors used in Souriau VGE1-FER1 configurations. With a modest 20 g weight and simple plug-in mating in a variety of layouts, technicians can realize faster assembly times and lower labor costs.

FAQs
The VGE1PS14A1000M uses a straight backshell adaptor and a socket contact, simplifying alignment during mating. To install, ensure mating connectors are clean, insert straight, then rotate the bayonet until it locks securely. This 14-shell-size part mates cleanly with Souriau VGE1-FER1 assemblies, minimizing misalignment and rework in tight enclosures.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and offers 500-hour salt spray resistance for harsh environments. It carries UL94 V0 fire & smoke certification and is RoHS and REACH compliant, supporting regulatory documentation and safety requirements for aerospace, rail, and rugged industrial applications.
This series is well-suited for aerospace, rail, and rugged industrial automation where flame retardance, reliable mating, and environmental resilience matter. The 14-shell, A10 layout with aluminium shell provides a balanced solution for aircraft harnesses, locomotive control panels, and heavy machinery interconnects that require certified performance.
The straight backshell adaptor is designed to mate with standard Souriau VGE1-FER1 series counterparts and cables of the same 14-shell size and A10 layout. Ensure proper alignment of the female socket with the matching male contact and verify RoHS/REACH compliance across both parts to maintain overall chain integrity and certification.
The adaptor design and secure bayonet locking reduce assembly time and field maintenance, supporting lower labor costs and improved uptime. With corrosion resistance, broad temperature tolerance, and established UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH certifications, operators benefit from predictable performance, longer service life, and easier supplier qualification for safety- and environment-driven programs.
