Eaton VGE1PS282108M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Certified
Part Number: VGE1PS282108M
Quick Summary
VGE1PS282108M bayonet connector by Eaton provides secure cable termination for fire and smoke certified enclosures in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with connectors that meet safety specs yet complicate assembly, testing, and maintenance in cables that traverse heat, dust, and vibration. It carries UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, plus fire and smoke certification to support safety-critical installations in control panels and machinery enclosures. For procurement, the straight adaptor with a female grommet eases panel integration, reduces time-to-assembly, and aligns with 28-pin backplanes for reliable, long-term service, and minimizes field rework, shortening handover cycles.

FAQs
The VGE1PS282108M is a straight adaptor with a female grommet and a 28-contact layout designed to mate with Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 series male connectors. It uses socket (female) contacts and a durable aluminium shell with a straight backshell. Its 51 mm length and 46x46 mm footprint fit standard panels, enabling reliable integration in control cabinets and machinery enclosures.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 100 °C and withstands salt spray for up to 500 hours, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It also features RoHS and REACH compliance and UL94 V0 flammability, along with fire and smoke certification, supporting safety and environmental standards in automation projects.
Yes. Designed for fire and smoke certified applications, this straight adaptor provides a robust, compliant connection for safety-critical wiring in control panels and machinery enclosures. The 28-pin layout, aluminium shell, and gasketed grommet help maintain enclosure integrity while supporting long-term reliability in demanding industrial spaces.
This connector carries UL94 V0 flammability rating, RoHS and REACH compliance, and explicit fire and smoke certification. These standards ensure safer operation, regulatory compliance, and easier supplier qualification for projects in heavy industry and automation integrations.
Installation is streamlined by a straight backshell and 28-pin configuration, which reduces misalignment and adapter requirements. The female grommet improves ingress protection, while the lightweight 77 g body and compact footprint speed panel assembly. Together, these factors translate to shorter commissioning times, lower labor costs, and a lower total cost of ownership over the system lifetime.
