Eaton VGE1PS180008 Bayonet Connector - Fire/Smoke Certified
Part Number: VGE1PS180008
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau VGE1PS180008 Bayonet Connector is a fire and smoke certified interconnect designed for harsh-environment harnesses. In tight installations, engineers face challenges maintaining reliable fire-rated connections when space is limited and misalignment risks drive downtime. This connector carries fire and smoke certification along with UL94 V0 flammability and RoHS/REACH compliance, delivering regulatory peace of mind for global deployments. Its aluminium shell, 18 shell size, straight backshell adaptor, and black anodized finish simplify assembly, minimize wear, and support durable performance across industrial control panels and safety systems. The result is a robust, plug-and-play interconnect that speeds installation, lowers maintenance costs, and improves overall system reliability.

FAQs
VGE1PS180008 uses a straight backshell adaptor and an 18 shell size, designed for seamless integration with the Souriau VGE1-FER1 family. The aluminium shell and black anodized plating offer robust mechanical coupling while ensuring consistent mating alignment in constrained assemblies. This combination simplifies field assembly and supports scalable adoption across multiple machines or lines.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, covering typical industrial temperature swings. It also delivers 500-hour salt spray resistance and is RoHS/REACH compliant, with UL94 V0 flammability rating for fire safety. This makes it suitable for harsh environments, panel-mounted enclosures, and safety-critical equipment.
Yes. The VGE1PS180008 is explicitly designed as a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector, combining UL94 V0 performance with RoHS/REACH compliance. Its design minimizes ignition pathways and ensures reliable interconnection under safety-critical conditions, supporting compliant operation in manufacturing and process automation.
The connector carries fire and smoke certification, UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, and corrosion- and temperature-tolerant specs. These certifications help you meet global safety and environmental regulations, simplify supplier qualifications, and reduce risk during audits and certifications across automotive, industrial, and machinery applications.
The aluminium shell reduces weight and wear, while straight backshell alignment accelerates installation and minimizes field rework. The 18 shell size enables compact harness routing, lowering enclosure size needs. Combined with robust environmental specs (UL94 V0, RoHS/REACH, salt spray resistance), maintenance staff save time, downtime is reduced, and lifecycle costs are improved across fleets of equipment.
