Eaton VGE1SS221400M Bayonet Connector - Fire & Smoke
Part Number: VGE1SS221400M
Quick Summary
The Eaton VGE1SS221400M Bayonet Connector provides a fire-safe, reliable connection for armored conduit in control panels. Engineers often face ingress, heat, and space constraints when routing cables through enclosures, especially in harsh industrial environments. This bayonet connector carries Fire & Smoke certification, UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance to help meet stringent safety standards. By combining a compact aluminium shell with a straight backshell for flexible conduit, it accelerates installation, reduces assembly time, and lowers total cost of ownership for high-demand automation projects. Designed for designers and procurement teams, it aligns with sourcing strategies that prioritize compliant, long-life components.

Straight backshell simplifies field installation by aligning the conduit path with enclosure walls, reducing alignment errors during assembly. The backshell is specifically designed for flexible conduit, delivering better strain relief and a tighter seal in dynamic industrial environments. With a 22-position layout and socket (female) contacts, the VGE1SS221400M supports organized, high-density wiring without crowding adjacent terminations. This arrangement facilitates standardized harnessing and faster plug-in connections, minimizing risk of misalignment during maintenance. An aluminium shell with black anodized plating delivers rugged durability and corrosion resistance while keeping weight manageable at 74.6 g. The 22 shell size and robust construction support reliable mating under vibration and temperature cycling common in automation equipment. The design also benefits thermal management by reducing contact resistance and ensuring stable performance across varied operating conditions. Rated for -40 to 100 °C, this connector maintains electrical integrity across outdoor, factory floor, and freezer environments. A 500-hour salt spray exposure rating reinforces its suitability for harsh environments, including coastal or damp industrial settings. Certified for fire and smoke safety, RoHS and REACH compliance, and UL94 V0 flammability, the VGE1SS221400M helps meet critical regulatory requirements. The design also accommodates flexible conduit backbones, easing installation and eliminating the need for additional adapters. This makes it an excellent choice for regulated sectors like oil & gas, automation, and infrastructure, where standardization and reliability drive lower total costs. Compatibility with a straight conduit adaptor and a straight backshell reduces engineering changes in existing panels and cut-down on installation time. The compact 90.1 mm depth and 37 mm width with 74.6 g weight translate to easier stocking, reduced shipping volume, and lower field labor costs over the product life.
