Fire and smoke certification is built into the VGE1RS201500L, a bayonet connector in the Eaton Souriau VGE1-FER1 family. This design enables rapid mating with a secure bayonet coupling, helping reduce installation time and field rework in safety-critical enclosures. The device supports wiring and connectivity needs in automation, rail, and building automation sectors. With a 52 mm length and a 33 x 33 mm profile, the connector fits compact panel layouts without compromising performance. The 40 g weight contributes to lighter, easier-to-handle assemblies, improving handling during installation and service. An aluminium shell finished in black anodizing delivers mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. The shell size and layout are configured for common enclosure standards, ensuring straightforward integration with compatible mating connectors. Backshell features include a straight angle and adaptor type, with a straight adaptor and a built-in male grommet for clean routing and seal integrity. The contact gender is pin (male), compatible with widely used female contacts in multi-pin systems, simplifying replacement and maintenance. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 100 °C, while salt spray exposure of up to 500 hours indicates strong environmental durability. The combination of UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS, REACH compliance, and fire-and-smoke certification offers measurable reliability, reduced downtime, and sustained compliance across mission-critical control panels.
