Eaton VGE1RS14A1000M Bayonet Connector - UL94 V0

Fire and smoke certification is embedded in the VGE1-FER1 family, providing a safety-certified path for critical electrical connections in harsh environments. The UL94 V0 rating, together with RoHS and REACH compliance, simplifies validation during design reviews and ensures regulatory alignment across industries. This reduces the risk of non-compliance penalties and costly redesigns when certifying equipment for industrial automation, rail systems, or safety-critical enclosures. Compact, lightweight housing with aluminium shell and black anodized plating delivers durability without adding significant mass. The shell size is 14 and the footprint measures 47 mm in depth with 23 mm width and height, yielding a total weight of only 20 g. This combination supports high-density panel layouts and streamlined part counts, enabling faster assembly lines and lower logistics costs in mass production environments. Straight backshell adaptor with layout A10 and female socket contact ensures straightforward mating and consistent alignment. The adaptor design minimizes clearance issues in constrained panels and reduces the need for additional alignment components. Engineers can rely on predictable insertion force and retention characteristics for repetitive cycle applications such as automated machining centers. Environmental resilience supports long service life in challenging settings. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C covers cold start conditions and hot factory floors, while a 500-hour salt spray rating indicates corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments. The corrosion-resistant aluminium shell with hard-wearing black finish stands up to routine maintenance and rugged handling. In practice, the VGE1-FER1 series addresses common objections about ignition risk, panel ingress, and installation complexity by delivering a certified, compact, and easily mated solution. Industry context: In automated production lines and electrical cabinets, space is at a premium and safety is non-negotiable. The VGE1-FER1 series is designed to satisfy those needs with a robust, certificate-backed solution that supports predictive maintenance and traceable quality for machine builders and integrators.
