Eaton VGE1PS400019 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Cert

Fire and smoke certification is embedded in the VGE1PS400019, featuring UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance to streamline regulatory approvals during cabinet upgrades and safety critical installations for data centers and mission-critical automation. This certification context translates to concrete business benefits, reducing audit time, limiting change orders, and accelerating time-to-value for control panel modernization projects across multiple sites. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating combines structural rigidity with lightweight design, delivering corrosion resistance and a rugged exterior that withstands frequent mating cycles in dirty environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs, reduced replacement cycles, and longer intervals between service windows, helping you meet uptime targets in demanding automation facilities across multiple sites. The straight backshell adaptor design simplifies installation by delivering precise alignment, fast mating, and reliable bayonet engagement with the VGE1-FER1 harness family for consistent field performance. Compact footprint—shell size 40 with 66 mm length and 63 mm width—reduces enclosure crowding and enables higher connection density without sacrificing serviceability across varied panel designs. The operating temperature range from minus forty to plus one hundred degrees Celsius ensures performance in outdoor enclosures and heat-prone equipment, even with intermittent maintenance cycles. Salt spray resistance to 500 hours further extends service life in coastal or wash-down environments, reducing corrosion-related maintenance events and unplanned downtime. Overall, the VGE1PS400019 pairs a proven mechanical platform with industry-leading fire and smoke certification to deliver reliable, compliant interconnects for automation cabinets and safety-critical systems. For engineers and procurement teams, that means faster installations, fewer compliance surprises, and a scalable path across legacy and modern Souriau equipment. In practice, technicians report quicker diagnostics thanks to consistent, swappable components across the VGE1 family, reducing training time and error rates during commissioning and ongoing maintenance life cycles. Additionally, the adaptor style enables retrofits to retain fire and smoke certification while leveraging existing harnesses and panel layouts, lowering retrofit risk and maximizing return on investment.
