Eaton VGE1SS181910L Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke

Fire and smoke certification is built into the VGE1SS181910L, reflecting the VGE1-FER1 family. This feature supports safety compliance for critical enclosures in automation plants, reducing risk of non-compliance penalties and downtime while easing regulatory audits. The result is faster commissioning and a safer, proven solution for control cabinets and electrical rooms. Compact footprint with a 102.1 mm length and 30x30 mm profile, weighing 53.7 g, saves panel space and simplifies harness routing. In practice, installers can achieve cleaner installations in tight spaces, accelerating assembly lines and reducing time-to-production for automated equipment. The design supports a straight backshell for flexible conduit, enabling straightforward cable management and reliable field servicing in busy production environments. High-density 18-pin layout allows scalable connectivity within a single housing, delivering cost-effective multi-pin solutions for expanding automation architectures. The aluminium shell with black anodized plating offers corrosion resistance and durability, extending service life in challenging plants while maintaining a professional finish that tolerates frequent maintenance access. Rust-resistant materials and robust finishes minimize maintenance cycles and replacement costs, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in long-running deployments. The VGE1SS181910L is compatible with the broader Souriau VGE1-FER1 series, ensuring consistent performance across product families and simplifying spare-part planning for manufacturing operations. This compatibility supports standardization across electrical harnesses and panel assemblies, reducing training requirements for installation technicians and improving procurement predictability.
