Eaton VGE1PS282118L Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke certified
Part Number: VGE1PS282118L
Quick Summary
Eaton VGE1PS282118L is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector designed for harsh electrical enclosures in industrial automation. It provides reliable mating in space-constrained layouts while meeting stringent safety needs. Engineers often struggle to source a compact, smoke-rated connection that still offers robust environmental protection; this part addresses that by combining a 28-contact layout with a sturdy aluminium shell and a straight backshell. The UL94 V0 fire rating, RoHS and REACH compliance ensure regulatory alignment across jurisdictions, while the Souriau VGE1-FER1 series heritage supports proven performance. With lightweight construction and durable plating, it delivers installation efficiency and long-term reliability for control panels, machines, and rail or aerospace applications.

FAQs
Yes. The VGE1PS282118L uses a straight backshell with an adaptor and 28-contact layout, designed to mate with existing Souriau VGE1-FER1 series components. Its 76 mm length and 46 mm width/height fit standard 28-position backshell footprints, reducing the need for custom enclosures and enabling straightforward retrofit or new-build integrations.
Key specs include an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C and a salt spray endurance of 500 hours, with environmental compliance to REACH and RoHS and a UL94 V0 fire rating. These attributes ensure reliability in harsh industrial and transportation environments while meeting safety and regulatory requirements.
Yes. The VGE1PS282118L is fire and smoke certified and designed for high-reliability installations in rail, aerospace, and other critical systems. Its 28-contact layout supports dense wiring in compact enclosures, while its aluminium shell provides durability against vibration and impact common in those sectors.
The straight adaptor backshell simplifies cable routing and mating alignment, reducing installation time and the likelihood of misalignment during maintenance. This is particularly advantageous in crowded cabinets or retrofit projects where space is at a premium and field servicing is frequent.
The connector carries UL94 V0 fire rating along with RoHS and REACH compliance, mitigating regulatory risk and expediting audits. Its durable aluminium shell, low weight, and high-density 28-contact layout reduce material costs, spoilage, and replacement frequency, delivering a favorable return on investment in long lifecycle equipment.
