Quick Summary

The VGE1PS282117M bayonet connector by Eaton delivers fire and smoke certified performance for rugged electrical assemblies in harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with reliable flame-retardant interfaces when wiring in confined spaces, and this adaptor addresses that by providing a secure, corrosion-resistant connection with a straight backshell. The VGE1-FER1 family meets stringent safety standards while offering a durable aluminium shell with a black anodized finish and a 28-position layout. With a socket (female) contact and straight backshell, it simplifies harness integration across complex assemblies. This solution aligns RoHS and REACH compliance with UL94 V0 fire ratings, delivering safety, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs for industrial automation and transport applications.
