Eaton VGE1SS220000 Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke Rated
Part Number: VGE1SS220000
Quick Summary
VGE1SS220000 is a fire and smoke certified bayonet connector designed for straight conduit applications in rugged industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with ensuring flame resistance and regulatory compliance in compact electrical enclosures. This family meets important certifications such as UL94 V0 flammability, REACH, and RoHS, supporting safe, compliant deployments. With aluminium shell, 22 shell size, and a straight backshell for flexible conduit, installers save time and increase reliability on demanding projects. This translates to faster commissioning, simpler spare part inventories, and reduced risk during audits. For procurement teams, the combination of robust material, fire safety certification, and straightforward installation supports predictable project timelines and lifecycle costs.

Fire and smoke certification and a rugged aluminium shell establish immediate compliance and safer installations. The VGE1SS220000 uses UL94 V0 rated materials and REACH/ RoHS conformance to reduce regulatory risk while withstanding demanding industrial environments. In practice, this means fewer non-conformance findings during audits and greater confidence when deploying in protected electrical panels across manufacturing lines. The durable finish also resists wear in demanding locations such as automation cabinets, control rooms, and field enclosures, where reliability is mission critical. Backshell design enables fast, tool-free assembly with flexible conduit. Straight backshell alignment combined with a 22 shell size reduces routing complexity and minimizes panel footprint, accelerating commissioning and simplifying spare parts stocking. The assembly remains secure under vibration and thermal cycling, and the bayonet locking mechanism ensures repeatable, quick mating during maintenance. Material and finish choices boost durability in challenging environments. Aluminium shell offers high strength-to-weight while the black anodized plating provides corrosion resistance and surface protection, helping to extend service life in automation facilities and outdoors. The dark finish also minimizes scratches and glare in high-visibility installations, while the aluminium's thermal properties support heat dissipation in enclosure interiors. Compact geometry complements standard panel construction. With 90.1 mm length, 37 mm width and height, and a modest 63 g weight, the VGE1SS220000 fits tight spaces and reduces enclosure loading, while maintaining robust seal and electrical performance in demanding operations. The 22-size shell integrates with common conduit fittings and reduces the need for custom adapters. Operating range and environmental resilience support reliability. The connector operates -40 °C to 100 °C, withstands 500-hour salt spray exposure, and supports fire and smoke safety requirements critical for risk-sensitive applications in industrial automation. The combination of material and finish choices minimizes maintenance cycles and helps meet strict internal standards. Overall, the VGE1SS220000 delivers installation efficiency, regulatory assurance, and durable performance for long-term total cost of ownership in production lines and process control.
