Eaton VGE1RS282100M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Cert
Part Number: VGE1RS282100M
Quick Summary
VGE1RS282100M is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector designed for secure cable terminations in industrial electrical enclosures. In harsh environments, engineers face challenges securing reliable, flame‑resistant connections that meet safety standards and prevent arc faults. The device carries UL94 V0 flammability rating with RoHS and REACH compliance to support regulatory alignment and durable performance. For procurement teams, its compatibility with straight backshell adapters and a 28‑position layout reduces assembly time and panel footprint, while the aluminium shell and black anodized plating improve durability. This combination translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster time‑to‑value on automation projects. Designed for Wiring & Connectivity applications within automation and control panels, it supports compliant, scalable wiring strategies.

FAQs
The VGE1RS282100M uses a straight backshell adaptor and a 28‑position layout, with an aluminium shell and socket (female) contacts. This design supports straightforward mating with compatible Souriau interfaces, simplifies alignment during assembly, and reduces the risk of misfit parts in dense panels. It also enables quick field servicing without compromising retention integrity.
Fire and smoke certification, including UL94 V0 rating, confirms flame resistance and reduced smoke production under fault conditions. This helps meet industry safety standards for electrical enclosures in critical environments, supports regulatory approvals, and minimizes the likelihood of fire propagation within control panels in industrial automation and transportation applications.
Yes. The VGE1RS282100M operates from -40 °C to 100 °C, leveraging an aluminium shell with black anodized plating and robust internal contacts. Its environmental specs, including 500‑hour salt spray resistance, make it well suited for harsh manufacturing floors, outdoor cabinets, and other demanding installations.
Plan for a straight backshell adaptor and 28‑position interface to ensure proper mating. Verify the mating connector matches the 28‑position layout, use appropriate grommets for cable entry, and follow torque guidelines for bayonet coupling to maintain seal integrity and environmental resistance in harsh environments.
The VGE1RS282100M offers improved safety compliance, reduced installation time, and a compact footprint that simplifies panel layouts. Its corrosion and temperature tolerance translate to lower maintenance, fewer field failures, and longer service life, delivering lower total cost of ownership in automation projects and mission‑critical enclosures.
